Probably 1S46 then worked 1M37 12:35 Edinburgh-Manchester Victoria and 1M55 was worked by 1S39 12:41 Liverpool-Edinburgh + 1P20 12:50 Manchester-Preston As in Post 144, #144

1S46 07:48 Liverpool-Edinburgh AIR +, followed 1S45 07:53 Manchester Victoria-Glasgow AIR + @, in 1974 working timetable. @ - air conditioned, so not the Liverpool as you stated, although it is shown as air braked. Return were 1M40 18:05 Glasgow-Manchester Victoria and 1M55 17:55...

No, I was trying to joke about the liberal use of abbreviations making the thread incomprehensible, "BRF" being "BR Fares" because - why not? I did also provide a link to it.

Likewise, Poynton library had a copy back in the day which I borrowed more than once.

I think it’s a good book, but sadly just about anything written subsequently by the same author was not good, I remember “complaining’” to the publisher about something I can myself no longer remember but was complete nonsense. We all pass our sell by date.

The "Cobbler" services ran to an E455 timing load, indicated for classes 81-85 in the working timetable, which ordinarily would have limited them to something like 315 tonnes to maintain the schedule, but were noted as being allowed to run with 455 tonnes. All in all this implied that their...

There was a "100" cutout at Edgeley Junction after the Buxton branch, and an "85" after Cheadle Hulme on the Macclesfield line back in the day, both indicating full line speed but also where it commenced. The "100" got moved towards Cheadle Hulme for signal sighting reasons (I believe) in due...

Yes, I saw that as well, but couldn’t see an easement to permit it.

It’s not a permitted route for “any permitted” tickets, because “any permitted” doesn’t mean “any route permitted by any ticket”, it means “any route permitted by the routeing guide”.

Any permitted route means any route permitted in the routeing guide, https://rgpp.iblocks.co.uk/reference-data which in this case translates to the mapped route showed on map YA at https://rgpp.iblocks.co.uk/maps which excludes Selby to York via Leeds as a permitted route.

The ticket will have restriction code B3 printed on it, for which the details are published and consistent, as in the link I gave previously. 1787640091 Also at https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ticket-types/validity/b3/ 1787642894 What appears to happen is that the people responsible for pricing...

It may be completely different, but Crewe CE154 operated under a Temporary Approach Control Link for some months, https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/approach-control-signalling-at-crewe.212702/#post-4926511, pending a fix which took some time to implement. Similar to your case, all trains had...

My highlighting. https://www.brfares.com/!roverdetail?nlc=I152&rvr=SR3

It depends on the precise terms of the time restrictions. If they say “not valid on trains scheduled to depart before 09:00”, for example, you can not board a late running train. 1787597832 For example, would not allow you to take a late running train at 08:45. If you tell us which rover...
