Thanks for that. At the time there didn't seem to be much traffic on OpenTrainTimes but as you said there were actually a few services at 4ish minutes headway on that section. Warrington BQ was rammed with people after a music festival in the town so that took a while too. Lesson learned...

Thanks Bald Rick. Didn't know about the trespass part, I'm sure that definitely had an impact. Any idea why it was booked slow line to Hanslope? Seemed odd as we had the locals whizzing past us. The extra stops certainly add to the booked time but despite that it all seemed slower than it...

We travelled on the 20:31 1P07 from Euston to Preston on Sunday evening which took an absolute age to get to Preston. Apart from the delay caused by some muppets needing to be removed by Police at Rugby these factors seemed odd. Pathed as slow lines from Euston to Rugby. We ran at about 85mph...

Most transport related crew work a form of flexible rostering, though it may be called something different. All are highly regulated though. The most extreme is probably aircrew where they not only deal with different times but different time zones too. As a example of that, a crew left...

What a great pic. Would be mid to late 70s at a guess. I just cant work out how it got there from Scotland. Any thoughts anyone

Oooo oooo is there a thread for great station bars? :D:D

It seems fully used which is always a good start though the look in more London Underground than Northern England

Some of my favourites are already on here, Huddersfield and Dumfries in particular. The platforms at Selby also have a kind of faded grandeur from bygone times too. I do like the functional Fort William station, probably because any journey to or from there has an air of romance to it rather...

Chorley has a sensible set up that is made odd when Northern put a temporary barrier with an inspector in place. There are two entrances to the station, one for the Manchester bound platform and the main entrance with ticket office on the Preston bound platform. A subway links the platforms...

Is it allowed to have your first post on the forum as a guess? (Hope so or I'm about to break the rules.. :D) Selby
