    Avanti strike timetables

    Hi Everyone .. Does anybody have a rough idea of what services will be running London - Wigan on Tuesday 13th December? Want to make sure I can get back from a meeting before I confirm and book a Hotel. Travel to London will be on Monday 12th so unaffected. Thanks for any replies/guidance

    Merseyrail legacy fleet updates (Class 507/508)

    Noticed this morning that there are some Transport For Wales units stabled at Birkenhead North. Is this a maintenance agreement or is it for something else?

    Merseyrail prosecution

    I believe now it is very much in the Public Interest but not necessary from Merseyrails position. Maybe Merseyrail are clinging on to the slim chance that they will win in court to be vindicated. We all believe they wont and having got themselves in a tangle with the OP and with the OP...

    Merseyrail prosecution

    Maybe it is because they have done this so many times before and once the OP wins her case and the press report it .. there will be a lot of people knocking on Merseyrails door!

    Staff wearing body cameras

    This was from 10 years ago and instructions may have changed, but certainly had me wondering at the time whether this was abuse of process .. a very different approach to the above.

    It is bonkers and needs sorting as it may happen again and the club cannot be left in a state of limbo. Profile raising has been worthwhile though https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/14/sports/soccer/chester-fc-england-wales-covid.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

    Unfortunately as TNS play in the League of Wales they have already been forced to close their ground as they have to follow Welsh Guidance.

    As a Chester FC Season Ticket holder I was at both matches. Who knows what the outcome will be .. but at least it raises the profile of both Club and hopefully the Fan Ownership Model. The Chester MP has issued the following statement...

    Locked in at Blackburn Station

    To update everyone I have been impressed with Northern over their proactive response to this incident. In summary, It is confirmed that there was a staff error and this is going through due process. I cannot comment any further on this and do not expect any further updates from Northern...

    Odd historical Sunday closures

    However the first train did arrive at Bromborough 3 minutes before it left Rock Ferry! 8-)

    Locked in at Blackburn Station

    We received an email on Saturday offering a compensation amount. We dismissed this and have asked Northern to reconsider. The amount offered at this moment will remain private, however, in our opinion, it didn't reflect the seriousness of the event and also take into consideration how serious...

    Locked in at Blackburn Station

    My understanding is that Control first tried to contact the person who should have locked up after the train had arrived. There was no answer. They then called other Blackburn key holders and there was no answer from these either. This process took about 40 mins before the decision was made to...

    The On Call Manager from Blackpool had to go to the depot to collect the keys .. this was a 20 minute journey for them. It was then 40 minutes from Blackpool Depot to Blackburn

    Locked in at Blackburn Station

    That is correct, the train was timetabled to arrive at 00:21 and actually arrived at 00:23. All this conjecture about staff not staying late is purely this. This was a scheduled arrival into Blackburn (that runs every Friday and Saturday) and staff would have been aware of this. The train was...

    Locked in at Blackburn Station

    The Guard did say this to us .. something about a 16 lock?? However, the padlock on the gates that exit to the Car Park wasn't the padlock that she was expecting. In terms of compensation .. I don't know where Northern will go with this. Following the initial calls on Monday I have received...

    I can't speak for the Driver but the Guard had to go back to her Depot. She obviously had cash on her that would need to be deposited.
