Wait while winter and you are being frozen at every station stop, with the ‘heating’ being unable to recover the temperature between stations.

Just realised that, apologies.

Manchester ROC going down probably had a large impact too.

Isn’t part of this route in the Digital Fares Trial? How will that work?

Interesting. I was thinking about the York service and the ideal option in my opinion would be for Northern to run a Huddersfield-York and a Bradford Forster Square-York service. With one calling at Church Fenton only and one stopper. Then you could terminate the current Blackpool North-York...

I am informed that XC have a large cohort of TM’s in training

Very good news indeed. This also puts to bed rumours that the GC pair are heading to EMR.

It needs the ones that are currently booked to be 6-car, to be 6-car as a starting point. The Doncaster Line could also benefit from 6-cars in the peaks to allow for future growth.

I’m hoping that some may find their way on to the East side to be used on a Huddersfield-York service and possibly the Doncaster line to release 333’s to allow more 6-car 331 workings on ‘the Triangle.’ I might be being a little over-optimistic here however.

I managed to see them at Wakefield, my footage of the pair so far:

Let’s hope 47715 is down there for a while then :D

I’m assuming the air accident was the Tenerife one, I’ve covered that in a similar setting.

Thanks!

Does anyone know why a GBRf class 47 visited the railway today?
