On tuesday 2nd January I travelled on 1A62 1448 Holyhead to Euston which I boarded at Chester. This train could not run through to Crewe because the line was flooded. It eventually returned to Chester. I assume that the train was turned back at Beeston Castle signal box, but I am not sure how...

I remember hearing announcements at Crewe that tickets to Liverpool were not valid on the Northern service from Crewe to Liverpool via Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly. Of course they were but would the public want to spend 180 minutes or more on a slow train when the mainline trains...

Around 30 years ago I was on a HST travelling from Derby to Luton. After Leicester the guard came through my coach with a couple. I was sitting at a bay of four with a table. The guard rudely told me to move so that two people could sit there. When asked why he said these passengers had reserved...

Friday September 29th. Does anyone know what trains were hauled by 70004 70010 70020 Thanks.

I travelled on the 1008 from Stoke to Bournemouth yesterday. Full and standing on arrival at Stoke. I did not get a seat until Wolverhampton. 4 coaches is not enough

Thank you.

Does anyone know what 70806 was working on 14th June? I saw it at Crewe at around 1500, and it looked as if it was waiting to take a loaded ballast train to Longport. RealTime Trains did not show it. Thanks.

I am sure I travelled on 4 car class 304 units departing from Stoke platform 3 in the 1980s. Can anyone confirm this? or is it just my imagination. I have occasionally been on 2x323 from Manchester, they ran into platform 1 at Stoke.

What puzzles me is why EMR trains were turned at Uttoxeter instead of running trough to Stoke, and why LNR trains did not run from New Street to Stoke.

I was delayed by the cancellation of the 0830 Derby to Leicester train on October 23rd 2021. My destination was Peterborough which I reached 90 minutes late after travelling via Grantham.because the MML was closed. I am still waiting for my claim to be settled. EMT rejected my claim, citing...

Back in the 1990s I was on a Liverpool to Weymouth train which was failed at Birmingham International because of problems with the brake van. Passengers for the Channel Islands were advised that a rail replacement plane was to be provided.

It was worked by 2x150, 1T01 started from Chester, rest of diagram ran as normal. Reason for cancellation at Crewe was no driver.

It happed to me in the late 1980s. A 142 arrived at Manchester Piccadilly platform 13 and a lot of people got off. I boarded and sat in the first coach. The driver came through while changing ends and asked where I was going, "Oxford Road," I said and he told me to stay on as his next passenger...

As strimmer says, there were diagrams for 2 x 33/1 and TC stock. One example from 1988/89 being the 0839SX Yeovil Junction to Waterloo, which was attatched to the 0935SX Saliabury to Waterloo. The locos then went on to work the 1210SX Waterloo to Gillingham (Dorset) and the 1600SX Clapham...

The 0940 Crewe to Chester service now seems to run as 0940 Crewe to Llandudno.

You missed the point. On a normal train not all passengers would alight at Warrington to travel to Chester and north Wales. On Saturday all the people off the cancelled voyager would have needed to do so.

The 0930 from Euston made an additional stop at Crewe to pick up passengers for Chester and north Wales. Howevr passengers who had boarded off the cancelled 0949 Crewe to Holyhead were later advised that their train had been reinstated. I was travelling to Chester this morning and it was chaos...
