Reminds me of the South Fylde line on a 142 before it became CWR - just not as bouncy!

The Northern Only day ranger is great value for money. Shame I've got to buy terrible quality newspapers to get the token. Would be great if this was available all year at a reasonable price and without the newspapers!

Didn't Lindsey Oil Refinery have a tar run to Preston docks until recently?

I've been in a 9 car Pendo drag via Dumfries. Stopped at Kilmarnock only, but I can't remember if anyone got off or not. Doubtful.

Northern have been good when I've contacted them on twitter (or whatever it is called this week). Most companies generally are. If I want to go full Karen, I'll write directly to the CEO which usually gets things moving in the right direction. https://www.ceoemail.com/

I wonder how long the replacement bus would take?

They'd probably panic on the Bentham line though when they wonder where the signals are :lol:

Aye, there aren't any - other than the odd pigeon or screechy gull (who would probably be at home on platform 14 at Manchester Pic).

Ah, the good old Fragonset class 31 working. Only ran for a few months in 2004. Heck of a journey though! Blackpool South is a bit bleak, but the staff are friendlier than Blackpool North.

Calling coleslaw "slaw". That really boils my number 1.

There is a video that has 2 Pendolino's coupled together. Don't know if this is / was a common event. I imagine that only Colchester would be able to handle it!

I always ask for facing, individual seats when I book on Northern then get a backwards table seat when I look at the number they give me. At least the Avanti app gives the option of being able to select your seat.

I'm sure they were building houses on that land the last time I passed it.

I'm next to the South Fylde line. 150's and 156's only these days - when they can be bothered running a service :'(

The use of the title 'Influencer' for social media prats.
