Does anyone know which 720s are currently on Worksop? Saw 720529 and 572 yesterday in sidings there

Hello. I live in Bev and Im in your position too-no car. Im tempted to go for a day out soon. Let us know how it goes tomorrow!!

Cumbrian coast line is closed until summer between Whitehaven and Workington due to storm damage to the sea wall this winter.

Hi Does anyone know if this pw work is going ahead this weekend. There are five booked workings from Doncaster so potentially a big job.

What about Beverley to Kings Cross by Hull Trains? Not currently running. But there were two southbound services but only one back. Wd love to know usage figures. 0753 from Bev might be used by commuters ito Hull of course.

Lincoln to Hull it shd have said. Phone keyboard is too small!!

A late afternoon service,usually a pacer ran from Lincoln to. via Sheffield. IIRC it ended in 2018 or 2019.

Hull Trains are reportedly losing loads of money atm. Only 2 802s needed for service. Maybe 305 is in effect stored?
