P12 is expected to get reinstated once new station entrance works are completed. This will come at the cost of the Forth Banks turnback siding however

Interlocks with signalling. It works at Pelaw.... or Ealing Broadway.....

Free? Blimey! The shuttle bus from Derby to Donington Park for Downlad Festival cost £12 PER DAY! Reading and London Paddington would also see huge crowds on the platforms heading to or coming back from Glastonbury. Regulated by the use of a dedicated plarform for glastonbury revellers which...

I jave always argued that theres no demand for a service because we don't provide a service. Look at the newcastle-edinburgh shuttles stopping at all the intetmediate stations (morpeth, alnmouth, berwick, reston, dunbar and soon east linton). LNER and XC only serve one or two of these stations...

Having dealt with the planning department managers that is exactly where I would point the finger of blame along with the senior managers above them that signed off these decisions

Yeah me too, with word spreading a certain junior manager collecting grieviances as if they are labels of honour is getting promoted into a senior role and the ex bank manager senior also getting a leg up is rather concerning conductors. They are far from competent.... For one, put the...

Oh dont worry. From what I am hearing theres plenty of fingers being pointed in front of the MD and in the direction of managers responsible for the mess the company is in, and he appears to be listening....

Interestingly, Lumo control, Hull Control and TPE North route control is the same desk at Ashburys ROC.... 1N34 and 9E21 are both booked slow lines north of York and have engineering allowances for any bi-directional operation north of Northallerton. Interestingly 9E21 often waits time at...

The motors could be regeared for higher acceleration but lower top speed.....

And yet there is no ticket acceptance in place.....

Manors is served by the existing hourly service to Morpeth operated by northern which gives 1tph, however I am unsure wether the B+T services are in addition to the morpeth or if one of the trains replaces it. Doesnt help P12 being OOU in order to accomodate 802s on P11 but i understand P12...

No, the newcastle based crew relieve the York based crew at York. LNERs 1N34 departs at 23:07, 9E21 departs 23:11.

Any nore than 15 mins late and it is likely the newcastle based crew scheduled to work 9E21 from York will refuse to work it as they dont want to work over their rostered hours

I agree. Focus the 68s on one route and stop trying to spread the stock too thinly. Meanwhile staff elsewhere are losing competency. Thats partly contributing to the cancellations.

Primarily its their age, while they arent hammering up and down the ECML at 125mph any more they are doing a lot more start-stop work and that will have an effect on component life. For instance, when first introduced the original valenta engines didn't like the frequent complete power cycles...

In short, no. Because the same rostering, diagramming and planning managers are still in charge of their relevant departments and one of those managers has already stated that he isn't going to change any working practices he has been following for the last 20 odd years... Thus is where I...

Yesterday (thursday) there were 96 cancellations and 34 amended/part cancellations showing on Journeycheck at 05:00 when I checked my shift times. It was obvious to me as the day progressed while some trains dropped off JCheck more cancellations were added. Today at 03:00 it currently shows 67...

28. A number of conductors also decided not to TUPE over, glasgow has been particularly badly hit as many have jumped ship to ScotRail where the pay and conditions are better 1686261709 Not under TUPE, you can decline to transfer across in which case there is no notice period to serve. Your...

Tip: dont use thetrainline. Its a ticketing agent, not travel information. use nationalrail, the TOC websites or realtraintimes

Fully agree with you there. Words echoed by a few on pay grades above me...
