Hi. The following ran through night of 13/5 and into morning of 14/5. Specifically looking at Thorpes Bridge Junction in Manchester. Does anybody know what they were as seem to take unusual routes. 164X 1910 Crewe to Crewe C.S. (L&Nwr Site 321F 2224 Knottingley T.M.D. to Knottingley T.M.D...

Are you aware of any Type 1 diabetics currently in the role? Or if it is something that would be considered. Google brings up alot of things but no concrete answer. Thanks.

Thanks for all the responses. Satisfied my curiosity.

Where is the information from the Tops sheet entered? On newer locos I would assume train management screens but on something older like a Class 57? Thanks.

Sorry question was very poor. On certain locos there is a train length button that can be pressed by the driver at for example the start of a speed limit... It will then play an audible warning when the rear of the train has passed that same point allowing them to increase their speed. Just...

How does the loco know when the rear of the train has passed the point that the driver pressed the button? Is it something that drivers use frequently? Thanks.

Has there ever been a rule whereby passing a train with reds on the front would mean danger and a brake application by the passing train? I thought I had heard this somewhere.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. The above ticket is stated as availabke on nation rail and the trainline websites. When I go onto NorthernApp it doesn't give me this option and has prices from £25 but that's not travelling via Hebden Bridge. I have tried emailing Northern but get one back...

I will be travelling from Moston to Leeds on 02/03/19 using an off peak day return for £14.80. This says it is valid on trains passing through Hebden Bridge only. The outward journey is via a change at Rochdale using only Northern services. The return journey shows some Transpennine services as...

Many thanks for your replies.

Morning. Does anybody have any information on the above diagram please? Hoping it may be the 195 on test but thought was worth an ask on here. Many thanks.

Many thanks for that. I bought the ticket as part of the whole journey months ago so if I'm honest I have no idea how much i paid. Big reassurance though. Did not want to look daft at London KX when they refused me entry . Thanks again.

All, I have a return ticket from Manchester Piccadilly to South Bermondsey. It consists of: An Advance single from Manchester Pic - London Euston. Anytime Day Single from ZoneU12* Londn - South Bermondsey. ...and vice versa for the return. I would like to board the tube at King's Cross as...
