I'm surprised they kept Sankey open to be honest. Seeing as WAW does have the better facilities in the end. But both stations suffer the same issue with services currently.

The location some what makes sense - It's right next to a newish estate and there is a lot of houses on both sides of the station. It's a lot better than Sanky for Penketh in terms of facilities. The times I have used it, there is always quite a few people there getting on/off the train. But...

Seems like Warrington West has been slapped down again. It's a such a shame such a brand new station like this has got so little services.

This is also a good site if for looking at the undersea cables: https://www.submarinecablemap.com/

Can't see it mentioned but Northern has basically cancelled all services in the North West this morning: https://twitter.com/northernassist/status/1495683125057404929

BBC Three was never intended to be for everyone - Plus, if you don't like something you aren't bloody forced to watch it.

I don't believe in the UK at least that networks are using 3800 - 4200 MHz yet which is the range that may possible cause problems with systems in the aircraft.

I think that may be part of inspections they do - I have a photo from Feb 2020 and similar parts of the train have been cleaned to show numbers or whatever it is they display. I mean it does show that they are checking certain areas for sure though but I don't think it's unique to this specific...

I'm not sure to be honest, I do wonder if its just a generic UI thing and all tickets (regardless of type) have the same buttons. I suppose in an ideal world you would have that button disabled for season tickets just so staff can't make an error.

Update: I normally get the same staff member on the way home who scans/checks tickets at Piccadilly and today I managed to ask him. The problem is, when someones scanned my smart card. They are given two options OK and FINAL. Final being used for tickets that have finished their journey. So...

You don’t get much choice when the ticket staff man the entrances/exits that don’t have gates.
