Corbridge is a hell of a lot smaller than Halty!!

I see all the moaning about Pacers. Typically the Newcastle - Carlisle runs are 60% 156 and 40% 142 (if not more 156). They really aren't that bad; especially not to not go somewhere in case you do get one. 2tph sounds really promising - however what we need is newer stock (perhaps another...

Prudhoe is another one. Southerner-style auto announcer says it as "Pr-ood-hoe" where it's one of two, "Prud-ho" or simply "Prudda" (if you're Geordie).

You'd still have to go through Leeds first.

Is it? Even when said locos may be away with other disruption or out of service or no/displaced traincrew? Wind your neck in!

I was quite surprised to not see any interviews with angry (sorry, furious) commuters saying that they pay enough for their season ticket already and the company are taking their custom for granted, that sort of stuff :)
