I hope the (in)famous Euston gate-line staff will be properly briefed... :smile:

Unlikely. Will have been drafted and checked to be following the approved line by DfT staff, and then signed off by Harper, maybe without even reading it .

Disruption to at least 2359 Saturday 9/3 From National Rail Enquiries this morning Urgent repairs to a bridge between Harrington and Carlisle mean that all lines are closed. Trains running between Barrow-in-Furness and Carlisle will be cancelled, or revised to terminate at / start back from...

Looking at National Rail Enquiries, there seems to have been disruption for nearly 3 hours this evening on the Northern Line due to a broken down train at Sandhills. Was this perchance a 777?

Thank you. Of benefit to those of us at the north end of the route - not so good for those at intermediate stations on the Marches. They should be doing a lot better. This is not an operational incident which is evolving by the minute and information is rapidly changing. It's a static...

Went all the way to Manchester and was on time at Piccadilly. Returned to Cardiff as 1V64 on time virtually all the way. The northbound, 1W22, picked up a lot of time after Cwmbran (23L). Hereford was 14L, Shrewsbury 3L and on time at Crewe. There appears to only be 5 minutes of engineering...

To add to the confusion over classes of travel, I received a marketing e-mail from TFW on Monday which contained the following So there we go. They seem to be doing a good job of confusing the passengers, and First Class fares are not bookable on their Manchester trains... I travelled on...

I believe there was a pair at New Street today https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K05501/2024-01-12/detailed but they were on their way to Tyseley, presumably for some spannering? Why shockingly?

It's the nearest thing us older northerners can get nowadays to a ride on a 142 ;)

I rode 115 from Stockport - Piccadilly a couple of days ago. If you walk up the train from standard class, the doors to the premium area are marked 'First Class'. No other signs visible inside the area itself as far as I could see, but the area was full. I bagged the only available seat which...

Please let us know when you are out and about and we can try to avoid those dates.. :D

Into a pothole perhaps?

From another group Today 68027 took TP07 from Longsight to Crewe https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K05019/2023-12-27/detailed and was due to return with TP05 https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K05017/2023-12-27/detailed When I passed Longsight late last week, there...

These workings on Wednesday 13th were by 805. Not sure if it was a singleton or a pair but 007 was noted by someone transiting Stockport on an up train. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K06828/2023-12-13/detailed...

Some real horror stories last night, but no reports of anyone trying to self evacuate, Presumably the trains held still had power. This seems one of the worst. 2A22, the Lime Street to Manchester Airport stopper left Lime St RT. Arrived 4L at Earlestown where it was held and left 73L. Dropped a...
