    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    I had a jolly to Kirkby today, I must say I was a bit disappointed not to get some battery haulage so it looks like the ban on third rail power beyond Fazakerley was tosh. Having said that, I notice the timetable database shows a traction change at Fazakerley so no one's told the schedulers...

    Unfortunately, a crucial member of the Railcam volunteer team (me) wasn't available when the feeds failed and so the issue went on longer than we would have liked. In our case, the only option was to move to the "unapproved" feed, which like Tom, we have little confidence in. Unfortunately, like...

    Why do some train services disappear on realtimetrains?

    If you are referring to next Saturday's (24/06) run, a cancellation for that date was loaded into the timetable database on Tuesday (20/06)

    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    I may be clutching at straws here, but I'm hoping we have been led astray by reading too much in to a diagram drawn by a salesman.

    Same timings, different UID

    The answer, in this case, is that the train was originally planned to use a different platform - 4 - at Cannon Street MTWO. That was changed just before the timetable started. See http://charlwoodhouse.co.uk/rail/livetrain/$28389760 for the deleted schedule.

    Real Time Trains V TOC sites and NRE

    That train is showing OK in my version of the database, I don't know who is right. So far this year it has run 8 times, and was cancelled on 7 and 14 January, and 18 March.

    If you can specify the date and service, I'll have a look at my timetable database to see what it says. RTT does get things wrong, but only very rarely.

    Location "WMBYEFR" showing as a passenger stop ?

    There are a number of schedules in the database which mistakenly show a passenger stop there. Here's one: http://charlwoodhouse.co.uk/rail/liverail/train/27357853

    Trivia: Trains Leaving The Same Stations At The Same Time And Going To The Same Destinations

    Every weekday from Huyton we have 1F07 1410 to Liverpool Lime Street (non stop) and 2F13 1410 to Liverpool Lime Street (all stations) Considering we only get two or three services an hour it's a bit annoying to have them so close together, especially as the third is only 13 minutes later.

    Trivia: Station, junction, signalbox and level crossing names which could be personal names.

    For some years I went by the name Tim Perley. Only a tram stop nowadays, but it was a station back then.

    I can see that 2F24 08:36 London Liverpool Street to Colchester Town was cancelled at Colchester due to "Disorder/drunks/trespass etc" and that 1P14 09:00 London Liverpool Street to Norwich had lost twenty minutes by Chelmsford...
