Love the video! Was quite a sight wasn't it? :p I'd imagine they were all powered, yes - I think they all are usually --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Not sure, although according to Wikipedia the only variants are prototypes/production units/overhead wire units...

That sounds excellent! Great to hear it rose so much money :D Glad it got sorted after such disruption too!

I think it's only the Network Rail train which only treats the actual track, i.e. the two running rails Not aware of anything that treats the third rail as well

Haha thanks for the heads up, it's fine though :) I'm mentioned somewhere round the middle of the article. The only bit I don't like is uploading it through their own server and using their video player - I'd love to know the stats! :p It was quite a sight! I originally thought 'should I just...

So Merseyrail had quite a nightmare today, with services suspended on 5 of the 8 lines, and a limited service running on a further line. Apparently ice forming on the third rail meant trains could not draw power, leaving them stranded. So, I have a few questions following this: 1) Do...

...or even just say 'Delay Expected' or 'Delay Likely'? Or is that too vague..?

Lime Street is one, although the underground Merseyrail platform is sometimes referred to as 'Lime Street Lower Level'. This was the case for the ME network's LED Boards for quite a while, before changing from the somewhat-confusing 'Liverpool Ls Ll' to simply 'Liverpool Lime Street'. Due to...

Nice one Alex, it was :) cheers!

As they've coped relatively well for the rest of the golf, I think they felt they had a duty to prioritise the golf visitors over regulars, as it was like falling at the final hurdle and wanted to leave a good lasting impression of Merseyrail on visitors (well, as good as they could after the...

Sorry, when I say Merseyrail I mean Wirral/Northern Lines, not the Merseyrail branding of the City Line - I should have made that clear, apologies!

That does make sense :) we've been promised a similar system on Merseyside for quite a while, Merseytravel are supposed to be developing a 'Walrus' card I think, which should work in a similar way to Oyster cards. Don't quite know where they're up to with it though, I was under the impression it...

I think I understand it now, thanks for the help again :) Usually don't have to worry about peak times as I'm never normally up before they start! :p

A few airlines had stated they did not fly in Ukranian airspace, yet GPS data showed otherwise. FinnAir, for example, sent out this tweet to reassure customers, yet when FlightRadar24 data showed otherwise they firstly denied it (saying the data is inaccurate) before saying they were wrong. Not...

Okay, thanks for the help guys :) Hi Alex! :wink:

Hi everyone! First post on RailUK, and it's basically just confirming something so I don't get fined! My planned journey is as follows: Little Sutton - 0622 Hooton (arr) - 0624 Hooton (dep) - 0637 Chester - 0656 Merseyrail class on-peak as 6:30am - 9:30am, therefore I am eligible...
