Great to see a much healthier balance today! Gas generation below 5% currently.

I'm on the 13:53 from Euston to Piccadilly. We just made an unscheduled stop at Nuneaton due to the issues further north. We're now on the move again (23 or so mins late), but it will be interesting to see how far we get!

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic for SOU over the next 12 months, with Easyjet starting to slowly grow the number of routes, as well as enhance existing routes. I'm hopeful that Loganair bringing back the MAN route from October will also provide a significant boost - SOU-MAN was Southampton's...

Or terminate trams at Timperley, using the existing turnback.

Massive improvement. Makes it much more usable. I've just logged in and seen a free standard premium return reward I didn't know I had.

I'm guessing this was at the bottom of the travellator coming down from P13/P14? I frequently walk along the footbridge and go to any other platform (most of which have ticket barriers rather than staff with camera scanners) in order to avoid the crowd during busy times. I'm hoping at some point...

Up until a couple of years ago I lived in Westhoughton, backing onto the Bolton-Wigan line. For much of the time I lived there (during Covid) the service was reduced to hourly in each direction, until early 2021 when the service was restored to half hourly. Despite being mainly sprinters, and of...

Agreed. As a Bury line user I've been on a few trams which terminated in the third platform during disruption (the most recent being in the evening last Thursday) and you can see how it's a very handy facility for the Met, even without the TPL service running into it. During the Shudehill works...

Is there any news on when the Trafford Centre service is due to be extended to Crumpsall? Apologies if I've missed any earlier posts on this.

Very popular service, giving a faster option to reach the key centres across east Lancashire. With the current issues around Sunday cancellations that Northern are experiencing, this service (anecdotally) seems to be the most reliable way of getting between Preston and Blackpool North on a...

Always thought this set at Mayfield look like they could handle a lot - ignoring the decades of gradual decay! Photo taken in 2019:

As a resident on the Bury line I'm very happy with this change. Evening and Sunday services (when the directs don't run) are often hit by overcrowding due to only single units running. This change means we'll get doubles running all day, all week, rather than just the middle of the day. The...

As a former resident of Monton I've thought very hard about how this route could possibly be reopened as either NR, or Metrolink with a view to eventual conversion of the Leigh Guided Busway. The conclusion was that getting the line from Monton Green to the Chat Moss line would require far too...

Purely anecdotal, however I'm a regular user of Angmering station. I wouldn't say it's particularly noisy station, and as previous posters have said pretty much everything stops there throughout the day and into the evening, aside from a very small number of movements.

The introduction of tap in tap out is one of the best things Metrolink has ever done. There was plenty of occasions before it was introduced where I missed a tram due to queuing at the ticket machines. Now the whole experience is incredibly easy. For out of towners its even easier... one of the...
