My other half is colour blind and he would thus fail the medical. He has done cab rides and pointed out signals to drivers no problem. Where it becomes a problem is where you are doing 125mph on the Down Fast and the signal changes from green to red and you miss it as you can't distinguish the...

Hidden away in this list is the all but withdrawal of the 57. Newcombe Drive turning circle sees two arrivals and one departure, matching school start time, and that is it. NCT could think about diverting one 56 an hour to the terminus and back again with a couple of minutes in the schedule...

In Newark's defence getting decent paths over the flat crossing is a bigger reason.

Darlington, Durham...

The Hull Trains diversion via the Midland Main Line is not common but has been done with 180s and 802s for some years. Diesel all the way Doncaster - St Pancras.

Don't quote me for certain as only go through the process a few times a year, including for me, but to answer for office based Band 1-8 roles: 1 - You can apply for it from day one, however you need access to the NR benefits site and that application took five days as they needed NI numbers and...

Hope Lumo do as they have booked workings through the Darlington platforms in the Down due to conflicting Up arrivals / departures.

Well it is as you tested a journey you knew wasn't possible like my example above. I'm not going to test it as I live nowhere near Barnsley and don't want to cost the railway money it doesn't really have. Whilst I applaud your efforts in testing the scenario I'm on the fence as to whether I...

Then what about buying the ticket at 22:00?

What then, is stopping someone buying a Day Return at 12:15 today for Penistone - Barnsley and choosing their outbound journey as the 23:24 ex Penistone with no return journey possible, would they be entitled to rant at Northern for transport home?

Fairly sure the diverts are in the WTT as part of a Period Block. And as The Planner says D4.6.2 is thrashed around. Most issues with blocks are disputed when the block is announced and the dispute surrounds the possession. Visit the ADRC website for many many examples. In this instance...

Platform 5 at Northampton had some booked workings early morning and evenings but 4 was used for the Birmingham turnbacks until the timetable change. Platform 5 used during disruption or a set swap. There is a line adjacent to Platform 5 (heard it called the Horse Dock) which is very rusty and...

Train planning is an option. They take school leavers and graduates. Gives a good grounding into the railway and industry.

Dec 22 publishing is still a week or so off at least.

Definition - note it is turnround not turnaround 1.9 Turnround Times 1.9.1 The values listed in Section 5.3 of the TPR are Junction Margins and Station Planning Rules. 1.9.2 Turnround Times are the minimum time required for rolling stock to be prepared on completing one service before it...

There's also turnround at x can be 5 mins, turnround at y can be 5 mins. But x + y together must = fifteen mins. Or x can be 5 mins but not for two consecutive turnrounds. The TPR contains many a gem!

Max turnrounds are rarer and more difficult to establish in the TPR. Edinburgh Waverley has one, Leeds may well do and Corby has max dwells so you don't block the line for freight from Manton Jn.

FLU 700 have a minimum 10 min standard allowance at any location on the Southern and I suspect north of the River too. All minimum turnrounds are listed at the start of 5.3 of the Timetable Planning Rules under standard values. Any exceptions are listed under the individual location. All...

If a train was booked to arrive WTT at 00:00:00 you would always go later to 00:01:00. This is splitting hairs really. If you really wanted to argue the point to the second then there are systems that would show you exact arrival. 1640728802 I can't remember that level of detail in TrainPlan...
