Got caught up in this last night going from Piccadilly to Chesterfield. Was waiting for this service https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C77180/2023-04-29/detailed#allox_id=0 While it sat and sat at Oxford road we were all advised to go to Victoria and travel via Leeds which after a...

Just search Kirby and set it to latest, scroll til one pops up. It will come and go on different pages so any link posted will be gone in a matter of time anyway.

Yeah, figured there would be, but the challenge would be finding the most stops/longest. I guess we have the winner of the longest! Didn't take long :lol:

Having traveled on a Northern service the other day, I noticed that it ran RT all the way along the route. This got me wondering what is the longest service that departed every station stop RT or early. We shall go for 2 categories; the longest in miles and also the most amount of stops. For...

Not sure on the actual revenue, but the flights to Spain are heavily loaded at weekends. Birmingham also have some routes to Spain and Milan and they have a good PAX load but only at weekends. Weekdays can have 20-30PAX on an E175

The unit has to return to longsight depot anyway. Would be a large amount of unnecessary cost. Organising buses at 2am on a friday night/saturday morning within a reasonable time just isn't going to happen.

Last time I traveled on this there was a 2 car pacer waiting in the platform engine running but locked out. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y62770/2017/05/27/advanced This above unit then couples to it to form a 4 car and all carriages are in use. It's heavily loaded for that time...

The swaying between Bury and Radcliffe was...violent! So much so that the first time I rode it I had genuine concern that we would de-rail. Recently the ride quality has been okay. Nothing overly jarring. I believe the trams may have had some suspension modifications to combat this. Don't...

They're on RTT. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/BPN/to/YRK/2017/05/22/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt EDIT: And the returns: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/YRK/to/BPN/2017/05/22/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt

Slightly OT, but kinda relevant. Our phones at work run fast, gaining about a minute a fortnight until they run about 12-15 mins fast then suddenly one morning they are on time again. They are Alcotel units for a large retail company. It's such a problem that we've even began to place bets...

I am thinking of buying someone else a return ticket from Manchester > Spalding. As this is effectively a present, I do not know when they would be travelling, but it would be sometime within a week of the ticket purchase. If I buy and collect an off peak return (£78.80) from the TVM and...

It's timetabled to wait for over an hour. The driver may have gone home completely unaware the next driver wasn't available. Or it could be a variety of issues listed above. This may be a RTT error, especially as the TPE service's arrival is PASS on a bay platform, but the Northern service...

English defence league. I won't go into detail on them, this isn't the thread for it, have a google and make your own mind up.

The first part of my post, explaining why the train ran early could've been made more of an educated guess, and less of a statement. There could probably be many reasons as to why it ran early, but with the way the timetable is laid out (xx:08 for 5 hours, then 19:13 then 20:08), and the OPs...

I know i'm assuming, I said so in the original post (key words are bolded). No-where did I say this was 100% accurate. If it was the same crew working the shuttles, it makes more of an explanation of the early running being due to human error from doing the same journey back and forth, and...

I don't. But it doesn't take much effort to 'follow' the train on realtimetrains. See what platform it arrives on, and then the next departure from that platform within a reasonable layover period and it will almost certainly be the same train. It's especially easy to track on a quiet line on...

The early running was due to human error. Going through realtimetrains, the previous 5 Junction shuttles leave at xx:08, and so does the one after, at 20:08. The driver and guard assumed this service was the same. (it doesn't appear to be the same crew working the shuttles. The services...

You've said it yourself! Norway and Moscow has snow all/most winter round, so they can invest in methods of keeping roads and public transport services running. We have snow at most 5 days a year, so what's the point in spending money on investing in something to protect us for 5 days a...

Yes, the 471. It's a frequent service (<10 mins) and the journey takes around 35 mins. http://www.tfgm.com/journey_planning/RouteMaps/471.pdf

Ah, I was wondering why the 17s and 163s were running via Oldham road.
