I think XC should do away with the title first class & replace it with something that that doesn't give false expectations, my comment about air was about the availability of staff, not what's offered. I do agree that the current situation is extremely poor, the company shot itself in the foot...

Can't really compare rail & air catering, as airline staff have to be there. XC have a significant shortage of catering staff, there's quite a high turnover, I don't think the terms of the NRC penalise the company sufficiently for lack of availability.

Not really, TPEs Manchester to Scotland and Newcastle to Edinburgh services don't cross the pennines!!

He's like a stuck record! He's so used to lying to the public, he does the same to one of his own MPs.

No idea, but as 115 is about to go off lease, I would say it'll be one of them.

Indeed, 3 units moving to XC in June.

Box ticking for the planners.

The 2 small Energy from waste plants at Ferrybridge have a dedicated siding with gantry cranes that AFAIK have never been used. I very much doubt that the new development will generate any rail traffic at all.

It's here, circled in yellow.

Just had a look at Tyrellcheck, it mentioned that BTP had requested an Archaeologist, Botanist and a Anthropologist, so I would say it ain't a recently deceased body.
