    Visiting a station as a trainspotter

    I've spotted on and off at Piccadilly and Victoria for 40 years, never asked permission and can't recall an issue.

    Should I have a day rail trip for pleasure on my conscience?

    There's no need to let it worry you. Just act sensibly and enjoy being out and about again.

    How has lockdown affected this site?

    Unless your rail staff or a key worker the opportunity to travel is not there at present, luckily I live close to a line which is fairly active freight wise so I get to see the odd movement . I do visit this forum regularly but don't always log in.

    Northern flash sale- 10p advance tickets

    I'm having a 20p return from Reddish South to Sheffield later today. Not a bad price for a ride across the Hope valley and a bit of tram haulage thrown in.

    Suggestion for one fare between Stockport and Manchester

    £2 single, £3:50 return, £15 weekly ticket. Undercuts the bus fare and significantly quicker, although Piccadilly Is a bit of a hike from a lot of the City.
