    Crowd Management at Liverpool Lime Street after Parade

    I know that the dispatch staff are all provided by Northern, who dispatch everything except Avanti who self-dispatch. I’m not sure on who provides other staffing however

    Wigan Bolton Testing

    They’ve ran like this for quite some time now in the evenings, it’s usually down to getting the units back to Allerton as far as I know.

    Train dispatched as I was pressing the button to open the doors

    I’d say you’re correct there, on station display boards it would show 10:08, so say it was a dispatched station and the dispatcher is going off of the advertised time on the boards the first tip would be given at 10:07:30, if that makes sense.

    Train dispatched as I was pressing the button to open the doors

    Tends to be 30 seconds in the North, don’t really see any deviation.

    How do train operators monitor when and why trains are late? What systems do they use?

    At the station I work at, it is down to the dispatchers to report delays to the station announcer who will then relay this information on through the system they use.

    My recent trip to Preston by train.

    On April 6th (My birthday) I went to Preston by train with my grandmother and grandfather. We don't live far from the station but we decided to drive up. Once we got to Oxenholme Lake District and had parked up we headed into the station, the train was scheduled for 11:14, it arrived right on...
