There is a single journey on Bee Network route 360 from Stockport to Hayfield via Hazel Grove and Disley, leaving at 0520 am on weekdays only. The bus then runs as route 358 from Hayfield to New Mills Newtown railway station and back, before returning to Stockport as the first through service...

Before May 1969, the CLC line express service from Liverpool to Manchester terminated at Central station. It was only diverted to Piccadilly following the closure of Central station. Until 1962, there was also an infrequent slow service from Liverpool to Manchester London Road station...

Could a siding be built just south of the junction between the line from Burton and the existing MML, ideally on the west side, for trains to/from Burton to reverse there? Any proposal to reopen the Ivanhoe line that doesn't incorporate running passenger trains to the existing Leicester London...

As someone who lived formerly very close to Whitchurch station for over 20 years and used the Coryton line regularly, diverting trains from this line via Butetown and Cardiff Bay between Cardiff Queen Street and Central stations would be unacceptable.

There are other options if there is just a driving cab at one end, such as a loop or reversing triangle at the terminus, as used on many electric tramways, particularly in continental Europe. Historically, the County Donegal Joint Railways Committee lines had turntables at their termini for...

In the late 1980s, the North and West main line was reinstated as the principal route for passenger rail travel between South Wales and Manchester, with essentially hourly through trains. Therefore, the figures for travel between these places no longer need to be considered when assessing the...

Route 888 is a seasonal service, running July to September, with limited stops west of Alston, primarily for tourists from North East England travelling to/from the Lake District. It is also shown as a through service, unlike other former coach routes such as the Trans Peak route, which are...

D&G route 19A reverses in Whirley Barn, near Macclesfield.

On westbound journeys, this service also enters the grounds of Macclesfield Hospital, as does route 130. Route 130 on Mon-Fri also runs via Alderley Park.

Thanks for mentioning this additional Warrington Transport service. Would it also be possible to add another couple of interurban services run by this municipal operator? 5A/5B Warrington to Sale (an intermediate town between Altrincham and Manchester on TfGM route 263), which would need to be...

It is completely unrealistic to consider closing Heathrow and replacing it with a new airport much further away from Central London. Alternatives such as Cublington and Foulness were evaluated over 50 years ago and deemed impractical and unaffordable even then, since when Heathrow has been...

Even if the replacement rail service from the West Midlands calls at the existing stops, it is not intended to extend it to Central Manchester, so the service frequency to the primary destination from these stations, which is Central Manchester, would be reduced.

The simplest solution would be to run: A half hourly electric all stations stopping service from Wigan NW to Stalybridge via Bolton and Victoria A half hourly diesel service from Southport to Victoria (or preferably Rochdale), calling east of Wigan Wallgate at Hindley and then all stations via...

Post #1044 refers to a news release by Shropshire County Council that it will be subsidising existing route 64 between Shrewsbury and Market Drayton, i.e. within Shropshire. The section of route 64 east of Market Drayton is almost entirely within Staffordshire, so it would primarily be the...

Appearance of these rail services in the draft timetable from December 2026 does not necessarily mean that these trains (which are currently cancelled or substituted by buses) will actually run.
