There has been a campaign with Dr Adrian Morgan involved for a good 30-35 years. He has really pushed this campaign in his various capacities and offices held in the local community. I understand he has a user account on here. Efforts have been made. About four weeks ago, Gareth Dennis covered...

I don’t know the area or the operator. This train is routed via Kings Heath. I assume that making Droitwich set down only means that they can keep moving if they clear through that route quickly (or take the direct route) and not wait time blocking a platform. Is this train used to maintain...

RE: Kirkstall Forge-Apperley Bridge; Are these numbers passengers or full fares? Apperley Bridge is next to Woodhouse Grove school, which I understand generates quite a bit of traffic. You aren’t taking your kids in your car that far out through Leeds traffic if you don’t have to.

Just looking at the Signal Box controlled crossing at Harrogate. Is it the walking route from the signal box?

National Rail reporting a trespass incident between Preston and Lancaster.

I assume that this will mean that the service will have to become a false/penultimate destination service at the originating stations (eg destination is Bramley at Huddersfield)

Kirkdale as well Anyone looking for a list (10 years old though) can find one here but you would want to validate it. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/location-of-wheel-lathes.139256/

I don’t travel on class 378’s but I would guess that any concerns about level boarding would be linked to the class 378 floor height, which I guess is a little higher than the level boarding specification that has been shared.

Assume you are on 1F33 1807 to Liverpool. Looks like you are just rolling into Milton Keynes. Failed train appears to be delayed 9K35 1716 London Euston - Crewe

It looks like 08308 has been contracted to Loram Rail at Derby for shunting operations at their site. It has been repainted into Loram Rail livery. I understand that it is currently being displayed at the Rail Live event.

Giving people more opportunities to encounter a risk because otherwise they rarely encounter the risk is not in my opinion really in the spirit of live and let live or the as low as reasonably possible principles of the Health and Safety at Work Act. Risk is usually measured in terms of...

The fuel that diesel trains use is different to the jet fuel that planes use. Why is there a jet fuel shortage here? Is it an actual shortage of jet fuel or has something broken or leaked. Two airports next to each other with a fuel shortage suggests that it is to do with the local supply...
