I have been trying to buy a ticket online for travel to Metrolink Zone 2 but none of the booking sites I have tried seem to offer such a ticket. Sites such as Red Spotted Hankey say the Met stations are not valid locations even when using a GM station to split at. BR Fares shows tickets as...

2023-01-02 Taunton - Bristol Parkway

It isn't always that simple though for the journeys to stations other than Piccadilly. Rose Hill to Guide Bridge for example would need a bus to Stockport, then train to Piccadilly and a train back out to Guide Bridge, or from Stockport the 330 bus to Ashton then either the 219 or 347 bus back...

One from today please: TPE 1P69 Manchester Airport - Middlesbrough (terminated at Thornaby) TIA

150129 was on the 1602 Manchester Victoria - Clitheroe today (2N55) (8/3/18)

Hi I have a 1st Advance single from London to Stockport which I bought for an event. The journey was to be taken in a couple of weeks time, but has now been cancelled. Rather than waste the ticket I am looking to make best use of it. My question is, if I excess the advance ticket I have to...

As also does the X41 from Manchester to Haslingden/Blackburn also operated by Transdev

when I was on 3054 I am sure the SSID was something like FreebeeMetrolink

On a Pacer on the Hope Valley line at the end of July I had the pleasure of travelling with a stag party. One guy in a pink mankini who had to jump off at each station and run to the other end of the train. Presume he was the stag. Another in the group was dressed like an 80s George Michael. It...

Been a while since I last posted my coverage, so here goes. NE completed with a 4in8 FlexiRover. Thinking an AngliaPlus for my next jaunt.

Stockport, 5-10 minute walk depending on how awake I am. Very handy for getting around the country, and makes it possible to commute to meetings in London.

I use Abraham Moss Met on a regular basis and there have been some blocks on the Manchester bound platforms in the morning. Usually Metrolink staff and either BTP or GMP with them. I haven't taken that much notice as I travel out of Manchester in a morning and have a season. I think there are...

Hi, a coast and peaks 4 in 8 flexi-rover would cover you from Warrington through to Holyhead. VALID after 0845 weekdays,anytime at weekends. Covers a fair area too http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/prc43aadc35ce7410164353812d29a02.aspx

I actually managed to get an XC Advance from Stoke to Stockport on the 1920 for Thursday of last week for £2.50. I must have just been lucky as it was not booked a long time in advance and not really an unsociable hour

In this case though, if Chapeltom was the only person who wished to travel to Chinley, then being allowed off at Ferodo would have speeded up the journey time for other passengers (as originally stated there were no pick ups on this service). The bus could have travelled along the A6 which is a...

In a morning Northern/G4S tend to do the block on 3/3a/4 with VT on 1 and 2. As for 0, I have also never seen any checks there. it is most unusual for anybody to be at 1/2 in the afternoon. As for on-train checks, these are more common in the morning in to Manchester on Northern services - I...

I had forgotten this one in Stockport http://goo.gl/maps/mchRo this allows buses to avoid 3 sets of traffic signals which they would otherwise encounter on the Portwood roundabout.

I think you're right Paul. I remember the tour of the Runcorn Busway on the old X3 from Manchester to Chester

I am not too sure how to interpret this piece of information which is on the Northern website and the leaflets which advertise services to the peak district http://www.northernrail.org/gopeaks I read this as they will sell the above tickets if there is a TVM at a station where you board...

from my home in south Manchester, I have travelled to the following purely on service buses: Chester; Derby; Nottingham; Liverpool; Leeds; Bradford; Preston; Blackpool; Burnley; Halifax; Hudderfield; Southport; Blackburn; (not including local journeys such as Buxton, Macclesfield etc) In...
