    Sidings at Penkridge

    I think most of us had worked it out that it was the supporting structure.

    Calder Valley re signalling

    Apart from it's on a platform which has no trains (at the moment) and no passenger access (at the moment). When that moment passes and the proposed extra platform is brought into use then a possible maybe. When that will happen is anyone's guess and isn't the plan to reopen the old station...

    Northern Unit Refurbishments and depot allocations.

    They are fulfilling a totally different remit and as such do a decent job with the poor cards they were dealt with. Clearly a 142 on the east coast main line would be unsuitable but so would a HST on the Penistone line. Horses for courses. I know Guildford well from my working days, I stick...

    Should I travel with Cross country or EMT?

    A Bus? EMT mainline from Sheffield is OK as you will board at the origin and most likely get a seat, XC from York could well be packed on arrival at York....my vote EMT

    Lewes Bonfire 04/11/2017

    Another option is to ban the bonfire and let the trains run for all to use.

    Here comes the (not too clever) bride

    No train services from Lincoln to Sheffield 11th - 19th June

    Don't the trains in the Sheffield direction in the main continue to Meadowhall, Rotherham, Doncaster and Ardwick? They are therefore not just a short shuttle service? Can't see with so much notice why they can't get trains positioned to run services both side of the blockage width just a short...

    Is it a mistake for FTPE to order the 397 / 802 / MK5 trains?

    Sunday? Engineering works possibly sent some services via Huddersfield/Leeds to Edinburgh, it happens occasionally

    All line rover ticket 7/14 days

    You have 8 regions you want to cover and 7 days to do it? I would review your plans and be a bit less adventurous in your ambitions. In seven days I would take 3 days to get down to Devon and Cornwall, do the branches and back to Leeds. Then take 3 days to get up to Scotland to do some of the...
