Given the proposed stagecoach 84 offering between Crewe and Nantwich is an hourly service, with almost all the Nantwich-Crewe shorts operating school holidays only (and one that operates on School days excluding Wednesdays?) - Id be very suprised if "someone" doesn't come in with a better...

Its on Earle Street, bottom of Queens street. Its where most the shops that used to be in Crewe Centre have moved to. It currently has the 8 service every 30 minutes - but it runs in a big loop, so Bus Station to Grand junction takes about 5 minutes, Grand Junction back to Crewe takes...

Whatever ends up happening, its going to be interesting over the next few months as alternative operators step in, before the dust settles. Crewe and Northwich/Winsford/Macclesfield areas are similar to most of England, in that bus services have been gradually trimmed over the last 15-20 years...

A someone who is/was a rail commuter, and also someone with an interest in the rail industry, I thought I would throw my tuppence in this discussion for a change. I would summerise the issue in that the "off peak is the new peak". I have observed that trains are generally quiet until 9.30 -...

In the initial example - using railmiles.me - Scunthorpe to Doncaster is actually 23 miles, not 32. This equates to 58p per mile return - or 29ppm each way. Dover to Sittingbourne is 32 miles - so 49p per mile return, or 25ppm each way. Depends on the rate per mile? If any such review were...

South Yorkshire Railmaster monthly which has increased by £10 from £79.30 to £89.30 (+12.6%) Other South Yorkshire rover tickets have increased. Mostly by around 2-3%

Back in the beeching cuts era - The Humber bridge didn't exist - the Barton line was well used for connections to the Ferry over to Hull. Shortly after the Humber bridge opened, the ferry service ceased, and buses could now run Direct from Grimsby to Hull, saving the need to use the train and...

Disruption on the Penistone line will continue tomorrow, with pretty much all journeys terminating at Barnsley. The main area of disruption is actually at the local stations between Barnsley and Sheffield, as the service on this section has been halved. The last Sheffield to Huddersfield train...

Thanks, that's more re-assuring that Northern, who seemed like they couldn't give any answer other than what was on a script.

Hi all I have asked Northern this and don't seem to have got anything other than a stock answer. Hopefully some experts on here will be able to help! I am travelling from London to Penistone, on a Saturday in October, on an Advance single ticket via East Midlands trains. My ticket is only...

It would only run once a day, and suppliment the existing service south of Inverness - scheduled to leave Inverness shortly after one of the existing Inverness-Edinburgh services, (maybe 15-20 minutes later) so the vast majority of passengers on from Inverness are making through journeys. I...

The fares system should be simplified to remove all return ticket types. Ticket types should be the same for all journeys - Anytime Single, Off-peak Single and Advance Singles only (plus season tickets). The Anytime and Off-peak singles should cost 50% of the current equivalent today, and can...

Edinburgh-Perth-Inverness-Dingwall-Wick/Kyle. (I think Platform 5 can just about fit a 2 car Cl158 which can arrive from Perth, and reverse out onto the Highland line!)

Bit late to the discussion, but to me, the best solution would be to divert the service away from Sheffield via the current freight only chord at Dore. This would shave around 20 minutes off the Liverpool-Norwich journey, and by removing the Manchester-Sheffield traffic on the train would likely...
