I caught the 06:06 Arbroath to Dundee at Balmossie on a recent Saturday and the guard told me it had been empty up to that point. Nobody else boarded after that so I expect it is sometimes empty for the whole journey. Indeed, I was the only passenger on the Fishguard - Clarbeston Road leg when...

The TfW service lost 11 minutes following the stopper between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, but was then held at Wolverhampton for 23mins for some reason . So can we really blame its curtailment at Birmingham New Street on following the stopper...

I agree with you, map WK on its own should permit Sheffield-Meadowhall-Swinton-Doncaster-Wakefield-Mirfield-Halifax-Bradford, since Mirfield is in Huddersfield Group, provided you avoid Pontefract. As for travelling via an alternative (not normally permitted) route, i.e. Pontefract, owing to...

This is contradicted by an example in the routeing guide instructions: http://iblocks-rg-publication.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/nrg_instructions.pdf Travel from York to Wolverhampton via BY must include Birmingham Group. Birmingham Group is also on CA. Therefore the routeing guide does...

Train awaiting guard? 1M12 (14:01 to Euston running 1hr late) is shown on RTT as using platform 'L': https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L33785/2023-11-13/detailed#allox_id=0

I agree that 'leaves on the line' or 'overrunning engineering work' are reasons for disruption and cancellations. But I don't believe 'a short notice change to the timetable' can be defined as a reason for a cancellation in most cases, because it generally appears to directly describe the act of...

That's in December, when TPE are reducing their services. It's 1hr 50min now. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G67481/2023-09-27/detailed

Given the OP had split tickets, is there an argument for delay repay on the Leeds-Preston-Glasgow tickets, which was the actual rail journey made, and a refund of the unused Glasgow-Oban ticket (perhaps with admin fee if that train wasn't delayed)?

Liverpool to York is already 1hr 50min on a direct service.

I think the OP's problem is more that the easement seems tautologous - i.e. would either of the following changes to the wording actually make any difference? Customers travelling from Shelford via Royston to London Kings Cross, London St Pancras, Farringdon or via Farringdon, may not travel...

Using Northern between Manchester and Preston has also worked for me on similarly routed fares between Preston and the South West.

I think the point Kieron is making is that the data incorrectly specifies 'via Woking' instead of 'via Stockport'.

There are a few conflicting descriptions of time restrictions on the Devon Day Ranger, specifically concerning easements allowing travel on certain trains. Could anyone confirm what the situation is on the ground? railrover.org indicates the following: But the GWR website just says: And...

I made a few journeys on the Heart of Wales line in July 2022 and loadings varied a lot - on one of my journeys the single car class 153 was packed with a class of primary school children with teachers on a daytrip, and there was hardly any standing room left. But others were much quieter.

Conveniently for this thread, this happened to me at Mouldsworth this Monday when alighting from 2x class 150 (ref: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:Y42222/2023-03-06/detailed). I noticed the 18:25 also had a long dwell recorded at Mouldsworth and four cars so it may have applied...

The Wigan-Preston and Lancaster-Preston buses in the timetable are listed as operated by Northern/TPE, replacing their services, and continue through Preston to Blackpool, Buckshaw or Manchester. Hence is the issue just that Avanti buses haven't been added to the timetable yet, given how...

The column headings are spread over two lines of text so you may need to expand the header row to see the full names. The first five columns after the station name are: Apr 2021 to Mar 2022 Entries and exits: Full ticket Apr 2021 to Mar 2022 Entries and exits: Reduced ticket Apr 2021 to Mar...

You're correct now, but for posterity the wording for Sunday 18th was different when the previous poster posted. At that time it said something like "all other routes will run as normal". Until a moment ago I still had the page open with the old text and saw it change as I refreshed.

While I don't have evidence that the 13:55 was in the timetable at 04:00, I do note that if I search the National Rail app for a Manchester Piccadilly - Crewe journey departing from 14:05 and then press 'earlier' to show more journeys, I still get exactly the same as your first screenshot. This...

That's dividing the approximate daily entries+exits by the number of services in one direction only - so the data actually implies more like 20 per service, and that still double-counts any passengers travelling within the four listed stations (but in mitigation also overcounts Sunday services)...
