I don't really know where to post but I got my first 'new' style Northern ticket yesterday. Unnecessary large and annoying as I can't put it in my ticket wallet as it's impossible to fold it down to a size where all info needed can be seen.

No! Hyde and it's seven stations must stay in tact! You know it's rumoured that Dr Beeching lived in Hyde... Either way, it would be a royal pain to lengthen Godley. One is on the edge of a viaduct, and the other end is very close to quite a narrow bridge over the tracks. Flowery Field would...

So is it likely to see 319s on the Glossop Line by next year?

Would it not be possible to run at least one service a week into one of the bays at Stalybridge, switch cabs and run through to Victoria?

That's very interesting. Thanks Mr. Collins.

It has now appeared on station timetables.

Ditto. If it were "This is the 00:00 Northern service to xxx" then I'd have no problem.

I saw this on my twitter feed only yesterday when TPE liked it... https://twitter.com/zoeyfox1908/status/790192913393262592

I remember I found Tiger when I was at Wetherspoons at Lime Street and they'd forgotten to click F12 for full screen, so the address bar was showing ;) What I've never understood is the range of stations on there. Is it an 'on request' service for chains, such as Wetherspoons at larger stations?

I am unable to embed this image, however I noticed the timetables at Broadbottom now carry the 'Part of Arriva - a DB Company' message in the footer: https://flic.kr/p/NikQQZ

I think it's important to remember that the section of the M60 through Ashton cut between a reservoir and a large section of body of peat bog, so some drainage issues are expected I suppose.

Yeah, although it's hard to pinpoint what is and what isn't electrification works on the stretch at the minute. The last I saw was a couple of weeks ago, drainage works around Droylsden and Littlemoss, in preparation for stanchions etc.

Probably the Stockport Viaduct for me (being a Mancunian 'n' all).

I'd prefer that. Cheers :)
