Worth remembering that when GBR was announced, Labour sources said that was their policy which had been stolen… difference is that this government have had years to implement it and chosen not to.

TRU is supposed to be the first phase of NPR. The new line that will diverge from Marsden to Manchester effectively is four tracking leaving the two track railway from Marsden station onwards towards stalybridge for fright and local services.

It’s been through heritage England…

Garforth is access for all I believe

Pathing on the ECML makes that a non starter. Amongst other things

One of the most delusional posts I’ve ever read. Sunak a Leftie? Jesus. And by your reasoning the conservatives are doing so bad in the polls to Labour is because they’re not right wing enough? Then why are they training by 20 points to a centre-left party and leaking votes everywhere? The...

And what you conveniently forget is the impact in trains running between Hudds and Leeds.

Route retention. Some services were terminating at Darlington due to engineering work back in 2021 rather than going through to Redcar at the time. We’re also losing the route knowledge between Darlington and Middlesbrough from December but may gain it back in the future.

Absolute twaddle. Those intermediate stops see good patronage. The current work ongoing in the hope valley could provide more capacity but there’s none at the Sheffield or Manchester ends. Get that sorted rather than suggesting cutting local links.

How is a fault with the signalling system the responsibility of a TOC?! Look at the weekends just gone. Services worked well - normal passenger numbers down. Having seen what’s coming up with TRU, people won’t be getting on a replacement bus for weeks on end.

Only 3/4 Mk5a are out every day. Apparently TPE are only at 60-65% of pre covid pax numbers Engineering work puts customers off. I think it’s reasonably realistic.

Roof work set to start at the station.

Not really reduced fleet. It’s reduced capacity as 15 185s we’re supposed to go off lease. Plus with TRU, a full north route service won’t be really possible.

They’re down to call at Deighton and Mirfield. Normanton needed work done for some very minor platform extensions - assume Network Rail have now done those

General Election Tories lose Labour win a good majority Hs2 in full is restored. Be interesting to see what is said in Liverpool next week.

Network Rail should stop trying to do passenger information. Always go via the TOCs

It’s temporary. It’s been explicitly said as that internally, even though many of us think it’s a bit much, especially on the now busier days of Friday/Saturday. RNP turned down First Groups emergency timetable too. But are now seemingly accepting this.

it’s a recovery timetable. Not permanent.

First 47 hauled TP service since 1991?

I suggest getting to SYB. Being rescued and moved there to terminate.
