On the first point, that is not in the scope of what the TRU is delivering. Might happen in the future as part of the station master plan that did the rounds online earlier in the year. The warehouse owner was apparently approached as part of TRU but didn’t want to sell. Apparently they live...

Rumour has it TPE will announce their preferred manufacturer in the next two weeks

I would travel earlier via Doncaster with LNER and go via the hope valley. TPE won’t recover tonight.

Nope. Only the semi-fasts and stoppers will call there

I think you will find youre wrong on cost to TPE. Given the former person responsible for this has replied to the thread…

The lack of information for those travelling in and out of Huddersfield is quite alarming. My friend who makes that journey daily is so annoyed he’s just gone by car.

This is what happens when your operation is reliant on rolling stock that’s up to 40 years old. There’s corrosion issues amongst your typical day to day problems. Plus add in the lack of quality in what CAF provided in terms of their units. A lot rides on Northern getting their new trains plan...

Northern or whatever GBR becomes. Becoming tedious the whole bee network rail stuff.

ETCS won’t be happening in 2030.
