    Constraint on TPE orientation information?

    Good point - Manchester Victoria is lacking too as it's on a different system and currently can't reach the data available.

    Constraint on TPE orientation information?

    It should be on station information boards as the data is now received the same as the TPE app. Is there a particular station where it doesn’t appear to be doing this?

    Out of all rolling stock existing today, which do you think will survive the longest?

    I think it also depends on investment as well as reliability those few decades later. I can see some of the Stadler fleets knocking around in the 2050s.

    Raising the alarm when witnessing a crush at a station

    At these stations there should always be someone on the Network Rail desk, but out of hours would be via any help points provided around the station or dial 999 if an emergency situation and seek contracted staff on site

    Trivia: Slowest and fastest services on UK rail network

    From York to Kings Cross the fastest services are pathed to take 110m, so I make that 102.8mph. Similarly, it's 107m from Warrington BQ to Euston and I make that 101.7mph.

    TfW 15x/17x withdrawals (17x now finished)

    Posted this in the earlier 175 thread by accident but there's apparently a future for the 175s but unconfirmed what that is https://twitter.com/shaunontrains/status/1659864787709313024

    Worst Railway Journeys in the UK

    Middlesbrough to Redcar Central passing all the old industry… very very dismal

    Trivia: TOC minimum/maximum train lengths

    Thameslink and Crossrail with their 8/12 and 7/9 car trains respectively. In regards to short formations, let's not forget the 139 fleet!

    TPE fleet - are the Mk5s the right choice?

    The original intention was to order an entire fleet of IETs but the turnaround time was longer than required - they probably still wouldn't all be built by now. The Nova 3 was there to get around that (and Nova 2 Civity in conjunction with what Northern have introduced), with a quicker...

    TPE Nova 3 (Class 68 + Mk5s) updates and withdrawal from service

    There are a handful of services diverting via Warrington during the weekends of work, but these are only Newcastles thus they are booked as 802s.

    Temporary Closure for Rose Hill Marple

    Regular Hyde Central commuter here - today and yesterday I used the first service of the morning (being operated by a 195) to get to Romiley so I can then catch either the 0813 from Sheffield (which was cancelled yesterday) or the 0823 via Bredbury in the circumstance that the 0813 is cancelled...

    Coldest UK railway station

    Manchester Victoria platforms 3 - 6 are particularly draughty. Have spent many early mornings and late evenings stood there with the wind and rain funneling the cold air through the gap in the roof on 3/4

    TPE - Northern route allocations.

    The local services from Manchester to Leeds were taken over by TPE in May 2018 and was part of the problems with performance because it ran through without the current split at Huddersfield. What it meant to take the local services over is that for the most part the route would be TPE only...

    Another Merseyrail capacity reduction

    Read something somewhere that only 50 of the 52 ordered units will be required because of the performance enhancements, whether that includes doubled-up services I'm not aware

    68019 diesel fumes/emissions?

    Questions have been raised (as per local news stations) regarding said emissions and noise, though I don't think there's an awful lot to do when it's one massive engine!
