    Penrith North Lakes Station

    The only time that I have been to Penrith Station was in 1969 when we changed there to go to Keswick. I think that the line had previously closed beyond Keswick before we were there. Our train from Preston was hauled by a Class 47 and the return by 2 x Class 50.

    150's. They belong in the cess pool of history.

    We still get them around Merseyside on Lime Street to Oxford Road and Blackburn to Headbolt Lane services. Other than the 2 + 3 seating they are good reliable units. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of travelling on 150231 which had got on to a Manchester Airport to Holyhead service paired...

    Transport for Wales Class 230

    Sometimes it is moved outside. I have seen it by the washer a couple of times. Rumour is that it is slowly being put back together but the depot is currently busy disposing of the last 507s.

    Northern Class 331 East:West unit swap

    I assume 331/1 will then be deployed on Liverpool-Manchester Airport services which are suffering severe overcrowding due to mainly three car units being used.

    SWR Class 458 to be retained

    My apologies if this has been discussed upthread. On our way from Crewe to Nottingham on Tuesday we passed three carriages in South Western Trains livery in London North Western Yard at Stoke-on-Trent. I assume that these have been remove from Class 458 units under overhaul at Widnes. Does...

    EMR Norwich - Liverpool - Class 170 problems

    Trains to Liverpool at that time are every 30 minutes so if you booked a ticket from your start point to Liverpool South Parkway you would likely have been told that your connecting train at Sheffield was the TPE service at 1809, not the EMR service at 1744.

    You failed to mention thw NEW platform extensions for 8 car 777 trains to Platforms 2 AND 3. I think that the entrance from the concourse into M & S was closed when the barriers were moved to accommodate the platform extensions.
