No mate as 150142 had already transferred to Neville Hill a few weeks ago, so it’s heading back up there today , I think all the northern 150/1 and 150/2 swaps are done and dusted

150142 is today Saturday 17th October working the 5Z17 11:30am Newton Heath T.M.D. - Neville Hill T.M.D.

Yes I have use Lancashire day ranger on it aswell , I’ve also used it on TPE and EMR from Manchester Piccadilly - Liverpool lime street via Warrington central , even though maps show it as not a valid line though I’ve always asked the guard before boarding

I’ve done them and they represent great value , I’m more of a hop on off and visit pubs on the day out combined with haulage

Funnily enough I just went to Bolton ticket office to get a northern weekend rover and thankfully they haven’t got the PRST tickets yet so got a CCST for this weekend

Indeed I did mean paper roll tickets , and yes as much as I agree the world moves on it would be much simpler if it didn’t fade and/or work the barriers . I rarely have such issues with CCST

Blackburn is now using the airline style stock for tickets to my dismay , rovers and rangers also including Northern Explorer I have purchased in several areas including Lancashire on airline style tend not to operate the barriers which I find frustrating .

Plus bus in Blackpool used to be valid on all Blackpool transport buses network and also on Blackpool trams between Starr Gate and Cleveleys , it’s now valid on the whole of Blackpool tram network from Starr Gate - Fleetwood

Thank you for your reply and good to know it’s buffet style as last couple of times I’ve stayed there back in 2023 then 2024 they were cooked to order

The on board trolly is cheap enough in my opinion . A hot chocolate and a lazy day fruit cake £4 total , I prefer coffee but the coffee from the trolley leaves a lot to be desired . But the hot choc is nice and the fruit cake is scrumptious even if it is on the small side compared to the...
