For Christmas Eve they'd have to announce it by the 10th December, or more realistically the last working day 2 weeks prior which is Friday 8th.

I agree

The MP has identified himself.

Manchester Piccadilly had (before the May 18 TT change) xx46 departures to Glossop, Stoke and Crewe (via Man Airport). If the signalling & dispatch god's aligned you'd see the sight of 3 323s snaking out of Piccadilly station throat at the same time.

Nothing more than running around at 100mph and having beers in the evening. All 195/331/397s and Mk 5as have been thoroughly tested there, but were they doing start/stop runs simulating stopping at stations, back up to 60/70mph and then braking again to simulate real world conditions? Doubt it...

Staff training can start. Instructors first, then link drivers and guards.

It appeared to be the Down Fast OLE through Euxton Jn that was damaged. Because the OLE is headspan on this section of the WCML all lines were shut, presumably until the severity can be established and status of lines found out. Because the damage was through the junction, it effectively...

Earlestown is actually nearer Newton-le-Willows town centre than Newton-le-Willows station is. Earlestown is a convenient stop for TfW as I presume the low line speed for the curve negates a 1minute dwell time, whereas Newton-le-Willows is a preferred station (as mentioned above) for P&R, and...

Try this one http://www.railrover.org/pages/north-country-rover.html North Country Rover 4 in 8. Bit pricey, but works out at around £25 per day. Includes York-Scarborough and Middlesbrough.

It is. There's a 5Z81 from Doncaster to Hull, operated by Hull Trains. Presumably it's a handover for insurance/legal purposes between ROG(?) And HT.

They need 4 sets on Saturday don't they?

Reply #1413 Speedo failure on a power car yesterday.

That's IW1 diagram, which this morning was an IET from Paddington to Plymouth and back. So unless they've repaired the power car (defective Speedo), it will an IET.

1C74 is an IET That's IW1 diagram.

1A81 is 43093/171

I'll tell you in 10 minutes.

That's strange,because in the early 90s my mate and used to ride between Preston and Crewe on the 'drags' when Acton Grange Jn was closed for a full blockade. Trains were diverted via Bolton & Manchester Piccadilly, via Wigan and Edge Hill (reverse), and I even recorded one via Stockport and...

195110+195111 seen in Manchester Piccadilly tonight.

That's a beautiful bit of planning. Shanei won't be able to see it, but look forward to seeing the photos!

Best thing I can think of is use Real Time Trains and pay close attention to platforms (actually used) and follow it's workings .isn't fool proof however as if multiple platform occupations occur might be difficult to track the right train .
