    Grand Central declining service quality

    Took me a while to spot thge comment below, yes refurbished but somehow downgraded! And for the last two trips I made tickets weren't checked as the service was so full.

    Grand Central declining service quality

    GC was my first preference to get from Halifax to London, despite the circuitous and enjoyable route to Doncaster. Staff have always been and still are wonderful. What's changed since Covid is that the wider network has moved on eons, the other ECML open access operators and the Azuma offer...

    Potential options for the proposed high speed line from Manchester towards Leeds

    Realise this is an old thread. From memory the TfN Board meeting at the back end of last year was halted because DfT was to publish the Integrated Rail Plan. At the board meeting that was cancelled, there would have been discussion about the NPR route. Does anyone know whether, since NPR will...

    Significant disruption on ECML near Durham and Newark 09/10

    Arrived at Wakefield to find a 142 this now blocking platform 1 as broken down. Quite a difficult day for railway staff I should imagine.

    Significant disruption on ECML near Durham and Newark 09/10

    Might be of interest for some. On the Hertford loop in a 10 Car Azuma. Assume diverted but no announcements. On the 1D20.

    Northern Dec 2019 Timetable Bid

    In the same backet of awesomeness as Real Time Trains, is this site: https://live-departures.info/rail/timetable-comparison/?q=BGH+&s=mf&v=d This will compare, for example, Brighouse's services today and in December. I know the intent is good but fundamentally feels like a series of...

    Northern Dec 2019 Timetable Bid

    Yes was Northern Connect. My look at the numbers shows Sowerby Bridge currently is planned to lose 34% of weekday services and 50% of Sunday services.

    Northern Dec 2019 Timetable Bid

    You're right, but the early anticipation isn't really showing up. New trains, staffed Northern Connect stations, faster services should all be being showcased now....it's gone so quiet on Northern Connect I have my doubts it will come to fruition in December.

    Northern Dec 2019 Timetable Bid

    I've appended the 2017/8 of the Northern Connect stations. I'd been led to believe that all Northern Connect stations would see all services stopping.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I'm away on the Highland Sleeper this week from Crewe. Based on this rather frightening thread I wanted to make sure my son and I have a reasonable time. In addition to the usual things, I wonder whether anyone has suggestions for a 'survival kit'. I'm thinking: ear plugs, something for...

    Thanks for the help so far. I'm now only looking for a few things to complete the runs. Please drop me a line if you have the following and are willing to part! I'm ideally looking for full years and am in West Yorkshire if that makes a difference. - Back Track: 2012, 2014, 2016 and later -...

    For joiners at Crewe for Fort William, do they have a chance for a drink in the lounge?

    Rochdale Parking

    Thanks for this...it’s their website that worried me as it’s allowed by only on Friday and Saturday! https://tfgm.com/public-transport/park-and-ride/rochdale-railway-station-tram I parked this morning ‘behind’ the station — plenty of space around 0645 if anyone else stumbles across this...

    Rochdale Parking

    Sorry to ask such a banal question but... I'm taking advantage of tomorrow's new Chester service and wanted to join at Rochdale with an overnight in Chester. I've just noticed that neither the Rail nor Metrolink Park and Ride allow overnight parking. I can also see that no town centre car parks...

    Magazines Wanted

    Hello all Friends on here have supplied me with plenty of old magazines, and I’m now looking to fill gaps in the runs that I currently have. My listing of gaps is below. I can collect around the M62 or would need to get them posted to West Yorkshire. I have a threshold of not paying more...
