    Security at Barrow Crossings

    There's a underpass in the field to the east, perhaps it would be easier to negotiate with the farmer about putting a path down the side of the field, than with Network rail.

    Potential new service from Birmingham to Manchester Airport

    It's not really an end to end service, any passenger going to the airport will probably be directed by journey planners on to a Liverpool with a change at Crewe as it will be so much faster. There is some demand from Stoke to the airport and places like Sandbach/Homes Chapel. I suspect it...

    Class 730 LNR & WMR Delivery/test Updates

    The 0510 off Crewe and the 2146 Off Euston are still booked 5 car. The 0510 Joins at Euston to form a 10. The 2146 splits from a Tring I think.

    Advice needed- Out of court settlement offered includes journeys where I did have a valid railcard

    They are the booking fees. You can recreate the 78.69 on trainline, but some of the others are a mess.
