Not sure about Southport-Blackburn but Kirkby/Headbolt Lane - Blackburn has always shown the true destination the whole time. Not sure if false destinations have ever been used in Manchester.

There aren't enough 197s for substitutes, so at least 2 of the 3 diagrams must be 230s or they have to start cancelling trains. Shame you didn't see any, I'm surprised they were all inside.

Yes, it's also worth noting if it's a pink reader being tapped, or going out and back in through ticket gates.

If you can get to Euston in good time, you can pretty much guarantee a seat, just keep an eye on realtime trains and be at the platform (or at least the entrance ramp to it) as soon as it arrives on its inbound journey. On a 9 car there is only 1 unreserved carriage, Coach C, and it shares with...

And RTT is showing 0V75 as cancelled.

Indeed they are, displayed as to Liverpool Central until departure from James St (the first time, on the way to Moorfields) it changes to being the true destination.

Interesting, doesn't seem to work on my phone so guess it's one to play around with once I get home. I haven't played SCR for a while and I've not signalled for many years (given someone below signaller rank only could in private servers). To save anyone else having to go the long way round...

I'm not sure of the exact layout (As to what can be used by passenger trains or not), but the normally freight only lines tighten to effectively 2 1 track lines at the connections to the South WCML, which I think won't be anywhere near enough for the normal ~9.33tph of through trains through Crewe.

They are not, 398017, and 398019 are both out today just not in passenger service. And 398026 was out in the early hours of the morning.

They are not coupled together, nor are they the only 398s out today (there are another three running on test/training in addition to those 3 in passenger service) I could just as easily claim 11 with 150121, 150122, 150123, 150124, 150125, 150126, 150127, 150128, 150129, 150130 and 150131 which...

I don't assign it directly to them, but I've heard a number of people saying this (obviously anecdote is not evidence)

Trainline have a big marketing budget, do split tickets (not as well as trainsplit do), and seem to have managed to created a myth that the TOC operators only sell their tickets (not true in the slightest).

Could is very far from will. Physically could it be done? Yes, will it? No clue, people have raised on here before the issues of having different types of engines between the Welsh and Northern units.

Northern because you would've missed it

The stop was 0 minutes, so there won't have been any actual time to stop, board, and depart. Timings at Whittlesea are entered manually (presumably by the signaller) and there is some slight variance with how they report non-stopping services, sometimes it shows simultaneous arrival and...
