    Guess I need to start shopping at Tesco :'( EDIT: Seems you have to request a voucher for a specific type of railcard, and the 26-30 railcard isn't one of the options

    My railcard's due for renewal. Are there any discounts running for them at the moment?

    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    According to RTT, the service has been cancelled. Not sure from where to where though. Maybe it'll be left in the sidings until tomorrow instead of making the journey up to Kirkdale tonight.

    According to this tweet it was in or passing through Folkestone earlier.

    Virgin West Coast Open Access Application

    Forgive my pessimism, but I have a feeling Virgin submitted this knowing it would be rejected. When it does, they'll then kick up a fuss about the system being broken and encourage the public to sign petitions and to their MP complaining about it, etc and it'll be the Virgin vs First debacle all...

    Virgin West Coast Open Access Application

    Thank you. That rules out Virgin doing that. I'm assuming they won't want to build some new trains for this little project.

    Virgin West Coast Open Access Application

    What ever happened to Alliance Rail getting some Pendolinos? I know they gave up on getting them, but are there some knocking about somewhere, or would they have been freshly built?

    First Trenitalia (Avanti!) WCML branding, naming and livery

    I've never been that annoyed by Virgin's personality, except when they have literal adverts played over the PA and in the toilets. Some film like Daddy's Home 2 or something like that had full on adverts played over the speakers, and that's not on. I didn't mind the Anchorman 2 ones because they...

    Nottigham Express Transit

    Question is, how much money is NET losing from these incidents? When it happens, how much do they lose by arranging bus acceptance and removal of the vehicles from the tracks? Also, if it's that regular an occurance, how many people are put off even using the tram?

    Cheshire Bus News (was East Cheshire Bus News)

    The plans for the "Royal Arcade" are already out, and the bus station features on the left of this image. Seems a road parallel to Lawrence Street (alongside the Job Centre) is the plan. It is rotated 90 degrees clockwise too!

    Cheshire Bus News (was East Cheshire Bus News)

    Well, now that Santander and Boots Opticians have moved out, they can knock down the town centre for the new bus station, etc. I wonder what the arrangements will be while the bus station is being demolished/built.

    Halton Curve upgrade is on

    I phoned National Rail Enquiries, who didn't know and then redirected me to TfW Rail who then spoke to head office who then confirmed that Cheshire Day Ranger is accepted on their Halton Curve services. I would've liked it in writing, but I can refer to that conversation I had with them if...

    I can confirm I generally don't bother getting advance tickets from Crewe to London any more, just walk up and get an off-peak or super off-peak return with LNWR.

    Crewe diesel depot open day, 08/06/19...Starring a Pacer!

    The way some people yelled at those even remotely in the way today was appalling. I don't know if anyone on here was witness to that (and hopefully not the perpetrators).

    Halton Curve upgrade is on

    Was looking at fares to Frodsham from Crewe on brfares earlier and spotted a curiosity. There's a "Route: ANY PERMITTED" off peak day return for £12.50, or there's a "Route: VIA MANCHESTER" for £14.50. So, a more restrictive ticket costs more? I'm a bit lost on why this ticket exists, especially...
