    Proposed Transdev X41/X43 Changes within Manchester

    How well used actually is that through ticket offering though?

    Transpennine advance ticket not offered on machine

    Those machines have been removed now, apart from the cash ones for which Manchester Airport is the only station on the network to retain cash (the rest going over eventually to Promise to Pay) last I recall they were meant to be installed at the same time as the others but the cash model hadn’t...

    Proposed Transdev X41/X43 Changes within Manchester

    Perhaps a halfway house is for journeys Off-Peak to continue to run into the City Centre and provide the connections, whilst peak start/terminate at Shudehill? Traffic congestion within the City Centre is completely unacceptable at times which really does need looking at by the City Council...

    Unable to Collect Ticket

    If you have booked through Avanti then it is set up to “Any Card“ collection anyway so this wouldn’t be a problem. I can’t speak for C2C

    RailUK First Class Lounge Guide

    Bee Network Service Improvements (Existing services)

    Speaking around punctuality 59 yesterday had some pretty bad bunching issues, 3 were pretty much heading into the City Centre together as I passed at Strangweways yesterday.

    Interrail cabin reservation on GWR Night Riviera

    Avanti can issue it, it might just be that the clerk has never issued one before and isn't familiar. Indeed, I have successfully done a dummy booking with Avocet today. They have to put it in as a reservation only and select "SZE" Manchester should be able to help.

    Delay Repay claims rejected

    Are Stagecoach struggling for vehicle availability? Noticed a Solo has been on the 41 today: https://bustimes.org/vehicles/bnsm-48104?date=2024-04-08 Not exactly the most appropriate vehicle for that route, I seem to recall that it's happened before with GNW pre franchising also.
