Need some advice here. I lost my Merseytravel rail-only 12 month season ticket a couple of months ago as it seemed to have fallen out of my pocket. I was issued a replacement and was not charged an admin fee. Unfortunately, I appear to have someone lost the duplicate ticket now. Would I...

Anyone know what is happening with the new station building and car park at Lea Green station on Merseyside? It appears progress over the last few weeks has come to a standstill.

I note with quite some interest that on the Mersey Railways page of Facebook, it appears 2 Super Voyagers (221103 & 221113) worked the 14:47 Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston service today. Just asking how this working came to be, given that Avanti Voyagers are almost exclusive to London...

They seem to have gone missing. Any ideas?

I am booked on a train to London from Runcorn next Friday (4th December) and when coming to pick up the tickets yesterday (I came via Picow Farm Road and the M56) noted that the road appeared to be closed off for road works. It appears that the car park on Holloway was shut and the multi story...

Are Avanti West Coast leaving the vast bulk of Pendolinos in unbranded white or something? 2 months on and there still only appears to be 2 of them in the new livery.

Seems that more services of late that are usually booked for 319's and 323's are 2 car DMU's. The 1528 Liverpool to Crewe on Thursday was just a 2 car 156 that was so badly packed staff could not let everyone on. Today's 1645 Liverpool to Wigan and 1700 Liverpool to Earlestown are also 2 car...

I heard recently within social media that 87002 suffered some serious problems. Anyone out there know of what is going on?

Whilst on a LM service from Liverpool to Birmingham on Saturday (the very last day of the LM franchise) and upon passing the sidings just short of Crewe station, I noticed a Class 345 unit. Any idea what it was doing there?

Came across a couple of articles where they are looking to use these once Preston to Blackpool is wired. https://www.railwaymagazine.co.uk/in-the-july-2017-issue-class-91-and-mk4s-for-west-coast-in-new-alliance-plan/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_91 Anyone know how this...

Not sure if it is just me, but it seems services to Liverpool via Chat Moss seem to be going a bit slower and stopping in between stations more. Anyone else feel this is the case?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but they do not yet appear to be operational.

Going into Liverpool this morning, noticed some excavation work between here and Tuebrook sidings. Anyone know of any developments going on?

Heard off someone this morning that they are planning to install ticket barriers at Liverpool Lime Street upper level. Anyone else know about this?

There appeared to be signalling problems today between Crewe to Alsager, and I happened to be on the Virgin 16:30 EUS-LIV All Virgin West Coast services during the next few days are being diverted to and from Crewe via Stoke on Trent to Colwich Junction due to working on the new flyover at...

As it appears 87002 is back in service (although still owned by the AC Electric Group I believe), I have noticed along with it's new Caledonian Sleeper livery that the multiple working receptacles that came with the locomotive when it was new to traffic in 1973 have been refitted. Does anyone...

This has been on my mind for some time. This particular Class 86/2 was in storage for a few years at Springburn before being cut up. Anyone know the reason why it was withdrawn somewhat earlier that the other Class 86/2's, with the expection of the 886211, 86239 & 86429 that were written...

Any more news upon when the Class 88's for DRS are going to be introduced, as things seem to have gone quiet.

Mods' note: split from Manchester - Liverpool Electrification I've been trying to get more info from posters in the Skyscraper City website, but this site appears to have been down for quite a few days now.
