    TPE Nova 3 (Class 68 + Mk5s) updates and withdrawal from service

    Shocked to find an 802 on my Scarborough train this morning. Didn't realise they were on that line so quickly. 1702450128 I certainly have a feeling that, well it's Japanese impressed some. These availability stats are appalling, and adds to the growing evidence that when it comes to...

    CrossCountry HST Diagrams

    1E75 (18:27 Plymouth to Leeds) diverted from planned diversion via Barnsley and went the normal route not calling at Wakefield Westgate, I assume to make up time as was running late. I'm slightly confused as moorthorpe line had rail replacement buses today so wondered what was being done that...

    My comment was more to say unwise to celebrate or commiserate too much if we know changes are coming.

    Temporary Timetable 13th Dec - 7th Jan

    This is the key to the shutdown. If the NR offer is accepted then railway can be open even if the TOCs stay in dispute. Which at least means Christmas work can go ahead!

    Temporary Timetable 13th Dec - 7th Jan

    I was being tounge in cheek . The TOC management won't care is all I meant when their costs are covered and they don't get revenue.

    Temporary Timetable 13th Dec - 7th Jan

    I think we all know now that this is going to happen. I have heard it from so many independent sources now that clearly the planning is at an advanced stage. The news last night shows that we are still so far from an agreement this isn't going to to end before hand. With government paying costs...

    Temporary Timetable 13th Dec - 7th Jan

    How has it come to this. Laughable and pathetic. Typical of the UK today, nobody to take accountability of it just everyone arguing in the press.

    Northern Dec 2022 Manchester area Timetable Consultation

    +1 A shame. I hope that the decision on Southport is seen for what it is soon, I don't get it. I catch the train to Southport regularly and once past Wigan you don't have that many on the train to be honest... Or maybe I'm just biassed before I get on the train

    I have colleagues who live in Southport who I have regular arguments with. Why do you NEED a service down Castlefield? Because that is where all our jobs are. Okay but you work from home now? As do a lot of high salary jobs in that area (well the ones who commute to Manchester anyway). But we...

    Wierdly RTT shows some Scarborough services in middle of day terminating at Stalybridge. Suprised they are terminating them at Victoria too, not an easy place to terminate long trains.
