    Northern’s Route With Highest % Load Factor Per Seat

    I had a pair of 156s when I used the route a few weeks back and we ended up over 15m late into Picc purely from delays because it was too long to get on most of the platforms.

    That's at least the third track fault in the loop in the last couple of weeks.

    Wirral Line - lots of semi-fast services recently

    Indeed. At Chester the incoming terminating service would often be held for a couple of minutes north of the station until the previous departing service had left, then have the best part of 15 minutes turnaround time when it arrived.

    Passenger information: the railway needs to catch up

    Decent suggestion by the OP, I think. No surprise that it hasn't gone down well with the 'how dare you suggest that something could be improved on the railway brigade', one person in particular, as usual.

    Impressed with Merseyrail

    I've been using Merseyrail 2-3 times a week over the past months or so and not once have I seen an RPI on a train. Though I always travel off peak, whether that makes a difference or not?

    An Incident slightly less bad than a big one at Worcester Foregate Street (12/06)?

    The fatality at Levenshulme last week resulted in multiple police vehicles rushing to the station and it being completely closed off for a time, which led to much speculation on social media that it was something more sinister than someone being hit by a train, especially given that the local...

    Stoke area problems 7th June.

    I was on the train involved, the 0840 from Euston. Ended up 80 late into Piccadilly. The TM was very good, helpfully advertised Delay Repay and how to claim it which I've not always noticed in such circumstances previously.

    Luggage Storage On Trains

    The 150 I was on this morning had the end third of one of the coaches configured in that way.

    Tour de Yorkshire Friday 28th April

    I'm fairly sure it happened on the Wirral Line when the Open Golf was at Hoylake, trains terminated at Hoylake instead of West Kirby.

    Euston closed (power outage) and other stories...

    I got on 1D89 at Crewe, the 16:49 to Chester which had been started from Milton Keynes, of the 5 coaches I reckon at least 3 were completely empty when it arrived at Crewe. We were then 20-odd minutes late leaving due to waiting for both a Train Manager and a Driver who'd been delayed en route.

    Euston closed (power outage) and other stories...

    Just been on 1A46 sat outside Crewe for half an hour waiting for a platform. I got off at Crewe but it's now sat in platform 5 waiting to be allowed to proceed.

    Liverpool Disruption 28 Feb 2017 - RAIB report released 30/11/17

    I was on it as far as Crewe yesterday morning and it was reasonably well loaded but no busier than normal. However there did seem to be quite a few waiting to get on at Crewe.

    Denied Entry to Station when services were still running

    Shame on the OP for having the audacity to point out that someone working in the railway industry may have done something wrong. That's not allowed on here.

    ATW Manchester Victoria

    Can a picture of a train ever be described as 'outrageous'?
