Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could provide me with any information on TFW Holyhead and Llandudno depots. How many drivers/guards are based there and also what routes do they sign? Im assuming the both depots are small especially Holyhead? I’m sure I read somewhere on here that there...

Hi all, I posted something similar on here about 5 years back asking about what routes Buxton driver/ guards sign. Since all direct service from Buxton to Blackpool and Wigan have stopped. Do they still sign to Blackpool and Wigan? If so I can’t imagine they have many trips to Blackpool surely...

The is a handful of Northern ECS movements over the Denton line, mainly coming from Newton Heath. Two at afternoon peak that form the Chester Service from Stockport. All others are early morning/ late night. As for freight it seems to be pretty regular throughout the day. You are best looking at...

Thanks for the info. Nice to hear that Piccadilly have finally started singing a long distance semi-fast service (barrow/ Windermere) where as in the past they seem to be limited to the “eastern” local stopping work. I’m assuming the barrow/ Windermere and Preston are only signed by a couple of...

I know there a number of threads regarding what routes and traction Piccadilly Crews sign. But I was wondering If there has been any change recently or has it stayed the same. Do they now sign Chat Moss for the Crewe Liverpool service or is that still split between vic and Liverpool? Do they...

My bad getting confused with platform numbers there:roll:

I am assuming the Chester left 2 late because it was waiting for the Crewe-Pic service to pass edgley jc. Usally when the Chester uses plt 3 at Stockport it pulls out of Stockport and waits for the 323 to pass just after Stockport. wether on platform 2 that starting signal is protecting the...

Neither Buxton or Pic crews sign it and DMU's are not cleared on the line as mentioned earlier. Anyone know what Buxton crew are up to while the line is closed? Taxi to Hazle Grove to work the trains from there?

Thanks for the reply! To be fair the trams acceleration a deceleration seem pretty good so even if you are slowing below the speed limit it won't delay it much at all.

Hi all, Was just wondering if anyone can explain exactly how line of site work on metrolink. It seems easy enough in the city when the trams are only moving say 15mph as when they see a tram infront they can come to a complete stop. But what about on lines where it is faster such as the line...

Is the work for Airport guards similar to the work of the Pic drivers for TPE?

Hi all, So i was wondering if anyone can tell me what routes TPE sign out of Man pic. They must have quite a big route card considering every TPE service passes Pic some point on it’s route. I am interested to know how far they sign E.G do they sign north of York and also do they sign all the...

Hi everyone, So am just curious to know what the buttons are used for on the left side of the metrolink cab, more specifically the ones on the sort of box shaped device on the left of the drive. From just watching what the driver does i have come to the conclusion that they press one of the...

Can anyone provide me with any information of what type of buses run the 31/32, 10/10A and the 33/34 buses in Scunthorpe. Making a trip over there soon and just wondering what buses I may see. I have had a look in YouTube to see what buses run the routes and it seems to be a mixture. Just...

Does the 8 mins plus 5 mins cab prep apply after having a PNB? is the 13 mins added into the PNB or do you PNB finish 13 mins before the departure of your train?

so the sign off time on the diagram is the time that the final train of your shifts arrives at its destination?

out of intrest how long is it from the sign on time till your first train, and the last train till the time you sign off?

Thanks, are shift times longer in diffrent links or does it stay at the same sort of lengh and same sort of routes in all links?

Thanks that really helped! So at Picc it would be something like 2 or 3 New Mills or maybe Hadfield followed by either a Sheffield, Chester or maybe a Stoke? (If that is classed as a longer trip) With an ECS either at the start or the end?

Hi, Was just wondering if anyone would be able to provide me with some example driver or guard shifts for Northern Rail out of either Pic or Vic. I am just interested to know if the shift follow any particular structure for example routes that seem to come up lots in shifts or after working...
