    Class 397 TPE "Nova 2" Diagrams

    Does look that way judging from RTT. 1727 to GLC regularly starting from MAN rather than MIA.

    Thanks for the explanation.

    Class 397 TPE "Nova 2" Diagrams

    What's a balancing move? If they needed to regularly get a unit back to Longsight, I'm surprised they'd cut this service short, as it's popular with commuters needing to be in Manchester for 9:00.

    Class 397 TPE "Nova 2" Diagrams

    Does anyone know why the 0422 GLC-MIA (1M90) is terminating at Preston and continuing to Piccadilly out of passenger service? It shows up on the TPE website as 'engineering work', at least until 23/10. I suspect the train is going to Longsight from Piccadilly, though unless I've missed...

    E-ticket/m-ticket vs CCST statistics

    I was roughly grouping by tickets presented to automatic ticket gates vs tickets inserted into ticket gates. I was thinking about the new ITSO season tickets, and forgot about paper season tickets. How do auto ticket gates handle paper season tickets?

    E-ticket/m-ticket vs CCST statistics

    Hi, Does anyone know if there is any data available for the proportion of passengers who use the orange CCST (credit card sized tickets) vs those who use e-tickets (paper roll included) and m-tickets, and those who use season tickets? If so, where could I find this data? Even better if this data...

    Class 397 TPE "Nova 2" Diagrams

    1M93 today is 397005 - TPE JourneyCheck states "this service will be formed of 4 coaches instead of 5 coaches due to more trains than usual needing repair". Was therefore surprised to see a 397 turn up.

    Class 397 TPE "Nova 2" Diagrams

    If it's the same diagrams as weekdays, 1407, 1507 and 1607 departures from MIA should be 397.

    Questions for people who have used e-tickets

    There are certainly issues with slowing down the ticket inspection process, and trusting logging into the guard's phone. Imagine if there was a TVM/Kiosk onboard the train! That said, we've come back full circle, as the train could have had charging facilities instead.

    Questions for people who have used e-tickets

    You raise an interesting point here. What if there was some kind of system, where in the case that your phone runs out of battery, you could login to your account with email address and pin number (not password) on the guard's phone, which would bring up your ticket. Maybe require ID with your...

    Questions for people who have used e-tickets

    I bought an advanced single back in November, and had the same watermark on the 'print at home' ticket. Did bring it up with the WhatsApp team that they ought to get that sorted. I can imagine a conductor/revenue looking at that and thinking it's a fraudulent ticket. Mind you, they're probably...

    Northern CIS Screens not working

    P1 at MCO had the same problem for a while. Not sure if that's still the case.

    Class 397 TPE "Nova 2" Diagrams

    I believe there are 6 diagrams that aren't Nova yet, and 6 350s still with TPE. Unless they're holding 1 for maintenance, shouldn't be any 185s on the route. Is it likely TPE will gradually introduce 397 diagrams in the lead up to April, or all diagrams in one go once time is up for the 350s?

    Northern app update

    To my knowledge mTickets are the type that are only available in the TOC's own app. You usually see them with the 3 colour bar with the time scrolling along it. eTickets on the other hand are PDF tickets that get emailed to you, and you can either print them or just show the email on your phone.

    Most exhilarating station approach

    From the North past St Walburge, or from the South over the River Ribble? Quite like the approach to Manchester Airport - especially if there's aircraft on approach to runway 23R.

    Energy costs of a journey

    Is there any difference in power consumption of 2 EMU sets run coupled vs separately?

    OLR - Northern Franchise Rebrand

    The station name signs in at least some Northern stations have been replaced. Now plain white background with black text, no corporate branding at all.

    TPE Class 397 ('Nova 2') construction and updates

    No, I don't. I can see how my post came across this way, but what I was questioning here was the fact that the HVAC controls are binary options of hot or cold, rather than something like a dial, to set the desired temperature. It is still more control than conductors were given on the 350s...
