    This is just showing the normal timetable like any other day because the service has not been cancelled yet. The full timetable isn't uploaded for individual days, it is uploaded for the whole timetable period with trains amended on top of this.

    York station announcement mentioning the wrong TOC?

    The train was actually in the system as a CrossCountry service, so that is why it was announced as such.

    Trains all at a stand in the Manchester area... (Thursday afternoon 06AUG2026)

    Manchester ROC also controls Basford Hall Junction, fringing to Crewe SCC to the north and Rugby ROC Stafford Workstation to the South. This is the junction just south of Crewe where the Independent Lines diverge, so if that workstation is closed/unavailable you basically cannot run trains...

    A non-direct route which no train will ever use, its an issue in the back end data which causes the mileage engine to think there is no other route when a train is timed at Corbetts Lane Junction.

    Carnforth Station has train describers to an extent, as it has approaching berths and last sent berths (which do actually step in relation to a Barrow or Skipton bound train departing the station) with the fringe to Preston. The "At Platform" appears when a headcode is interposed in an...

    OpenTrainTimes – Manchester Piccadilly Signal Layout

    The map is drawn incorrectly. Signal 337 is not alongside Signal 349. The points at the Manchester end of Mayfield Loop join to the Down Slow just before Signal 349. I believe Signal 337 will not clear until Signal 349 is showing a proceed aspect.

    What happened to the 1634 Llandudno to Liverpool today?, 7 July

    The reports at Helsby and Frodsham are manual. It looks like the train reversed back to Chester on the Halton Curve after departure from Frodsham towards Liverpool.

    Southeastern planning to restore pre-Covid frequencies on Dartford lines

    It will be because the points fall within the overlap beyond the signal on platform 2, nothing to do with TPWS positioning.

    "Trivia" Through stations with extremely few passenger trains which do not call

    Off topic, but that is its booked route in the WTT now, for route knowledge retention. 1036 Glasgow to Oban does it the other way.

    Class 175s to GWR

    The links in those posts are filtered for STP trains at Exeter St Davids, 5L61 is an STP train at Exeter St Davids, therefore meets the filter.

    Why are some coach letters skipped on trains with lettered coaches ?

    Rear 220s are GIJL, so the correct order (with H and K missing) that way around.

    Wrong way HST signing at Cheltenham?

    Platform 2 was made available for trains to turn around in from the north a few years ago. That is when these stop markers will have been installed. As part of this a fixed red signal was installed at the south end of the platform, so you cannot depart platform 2 to the south under normal...

    It's still there, note it won't appear if the window or device you are viewing RTT on is less than a certain width.

    Curious Working - Tonbridge to Derby NR run timed only at Guildford!

    I suspect the signaller put in a departure report to clear the train off their "station lineup" on TRUST. You see this type of thing quite a lot on Activated paths that are not running.
