Preston and Warrington I think are a shoe in for Manchester. Carlisle though, with the addition of the Cumbrian Coast and the Settle and Carlisle, I don't think that clear. Given that the assumptions on the capacity of each ROC have gone very wrong given the changes in the capacity of each...

Any information on whether this will go into Manchester ROC or whether we will see Carlisle PEBBLE?

There's no "must" about it - TOC's choice. I'm fairly sure 'L' stop has no meaning.

So "train" to "rain" you say? Looks like a 20% cut to me.

I don't think enough votes have accumulated for this to be shown to all X users yet.

Unfortunately the article doesn't actually say that does it? So the Swedish data isn't comparable. The Australian data does seem to support the idea, however in the context of integral garages a particular issue is when fires occur. EV fires anecdotally can happen at any time, petrol/diesel...

I've always had the impression that they have domestic travel facilities (well since the dates they each started accepting PRIV tickets from other operators), but do they all have FIP discount and coupon privileges?

*North & East Which includes Dronfield and Cleethorpes.

Arlanda - no issue. Copenhagen - I was told off for approaching a booth without the friend I was travelling with. We then only got a question about the purpose of our visit, "holiday", whereas we'd overheard other passenger being asked for itinerary details, hotel bookings and return travel...

Under a previous administration at City of York Council the site selection for Haxby ruled out the historic (central) location for the new station on the basis that it would not serve Strensall. The concept that a central Haxby station and then later a Strensall station was entirely alien to the...

Drag is just the same as tow; drivers working a train containing a 156 need to sign a 156. Ah yes, find yourself a contractor who can drive a train from Lancaster to Carlisle and thats entirely different. Neither of which addressed whether Network Rail have enough signallers to keep Carlisle...

So if your proposed unit needs to be towed it must not be fit for traffic so I don't see how that helps. Also there are no Northern drivers who sign Oxenholme to Carlisle so not exactly something Northern can solve in isolation. 1709607473 Presumably needing to find signallers to open this...

I'm fairly sure I recall Highways England appearing at a Select Committee or similar saying that they only had budget to remove/infill a certain number of structures, and that the order they were addressing them was simply based on the order of a review process. If they had done a little...

That wasn't the question. The Arriva franchise agreement included a requirement to bring all the retained stock to 'ETCS ready' ie all the wiring and equipment boxes are present, making any future fitment a relatively quick project. At the end of that after the fleet changes, I don't think...

If additional 158s were secured from the current TfW fleet it would make a lot of sense to loose the sole 3 car, Northern's MD has been busy talking about longer formations so I bet they'd want to take it on.
