Crewe is not classed as a maintenance depot for class 730. It's only classed as a stabling point. Which is frustrating as this allows 730s to enter service at Crewe without working toilets, as happens from time to time, and they won't empty them during the daytime either. Needs to improve, far...

Stabling shouldn't be the priority though. Need places where they are maintained, cleaned and most importantly, tanked! Northampton is purely stabling, if only units could be tanked there, it would improve unit availability. Crewe currently isn't classed as a maintenance depot, that is...

Clearly interest at Bescot has been completely ended then. Was meant to be the home of 730s was it not? Given the ongoing issues with tanking and availability of the 730/2s, this needs to be a WCML facility and online ASAP.

Will probably be in several routes, you could try searching for; Walsall - Pleck Jnc Pleck - Bushbury (presumably you don't want via Wolverhampton) Bushbury - Stafford I know at work we have New St - Rugeley TV, and then New St - Stafford via Bescot but they might be split differently for us...

Modifications

Surely they will turn around at Stoke? They often do when they run late as standard. No point having a RRB for the entire journey

Depends how many staff you have in of course, but yes that's entirely possible

Surely that depends entirely on figures? It's not a practice we have, but I do know that nearly 80% of LNR customer service requests are in written form, be that mail/email/socials. And I believe the magic figure set by the DfT is 90% answered within 7 days - there was a time a few years ago...

Should be a full south end canopy removal. Not sure there is funding or a plan to replace or extend it, which is what is required

I heard it was roof removal

That's exactly what LNR CSMs do! During any major disruption, it is their job to be the front line and my experience with them is that they absolutely do that. But only at stations that have one and also have staff to have on the concourse - New St has only Avanti or NR staff for instance. When...

I mean you're really going down a rabbit hole with that one! So you really think TOCs will ever get to the point of training staff to, or use AI to, manipulate videos for prosecution purposes? That's an extreme level of mistrust IMO. Barely enough staff to process PFs and MGs as it is, hence...

That depends entirely on whether the member of staff that took the photo decides to report your interactions. You may be lucky and they don't report it further, therefore nothing will happen. If they do report it, they have an office team who will likely email the address linked to the ticket...

Spring road was always a 5 when I was down that way, same for Wythall.

That's literally impossible. On 172 stock, the guard panels are diagonally located, so the only panel on the platform is the rear door of coach 1 in both directions. There is no panel in the front door. If all doors had panels, the southbound platform would fit the front door of coach 2. Alas...
