That's so disappointing. I have been checking before and after work every day since the link first went live. Hopefully they will release some more in due course. I wonder how many tickets were actually available.

The link is back working again. Tickets available soon.

Can I just thank everyone who has contributed to this discussion. It has certainly given me a much better understanding of what went on and it would seem many of you share my personal view that it would have been easier, quicker and of benefit to all parties, if they had detrained us via the...

I just wondered if anyone can shed any light on a few questions I have regarding the following situation that occurred yesterday - 22/07/25. I caught the the 09:46 LNR train at Watford Junction which was due in to Euston at 10:07. On the station screens it showed as being an 8 car set but when...

Is there any likelihood that Northern will take on some or all of the remaining 323s or is that wishful thinking on my part?

I asked the same question a few years back when I saw the unit at Exeter. No-one confirmed 100% but since then I have seen all the other 159s and they all had their correct centre cars so logically although it's unnumbered it is 58728.

Perfect, thank you for that, excellent diagrams. Most helpful. It would seem platform 5 is the only platform not to have changed numbers.

Hi, I was looking through some old photos from the early 1980's when my late father used to take me to Crewe Station (often before or after a trip around the locomotive works on a Saturday) We used to stand at the southern end of the station on the platform (now out of use) nearest the diesel...

Fair enough. I was going by the trains that I travelled on. By the sounds of it, I was lucky. I hope they get their act together soon as the general public deserve better. Whilst travelling on a surprisingly clean 507030 from New Brighton to Hamilton Square I did hear a woman say to her...

In case anyone is interested the Chesters today were: 777006, 007, 014, 017, 018 & 024. Generally they seemed to run without any issues although I was on 777018 coming back from Hamilton Square at 14.16 (12 late) but it went non stop from Birkenhead Central to Hooton and so finished up just 2...

Perfect, thank you

Thanks for this - it is really helpful. I am after 507030 which you say is on the xx38. I see after 9.38 there are no xx38 departures. Do you know what happens to it after that please?

Great thanks for that. Any update on 001? Do you know if its working the West Kirbys or has it stabled there? ***Update, don't worry, just seen 507001 at Birkenhead. Just 030 to find now***

Cheers for the update. I'll head for Birkenhead North instead. No sign of 507030 anywhere but 4 out of 5 will be good

I'll be there this afternoon, hopefully it won't have moved. Cheers paddyb6
