I see a list of the services involved has just been published on the "Service changes update" section of the TfGM website. Monday,18th June, seems to be the starting date for these new timetables.

We drove past this station en route to visiting Quarry Bank Mill and I assumed that the connectional works for the newly constructed ramp access route to the airport-bound platform from Finney Lane would have been completed by now, as April 2012 was given as the reopening time. However, it...

This LNWR line ran from Stalybridge to Denton with just two intermediate stations at Dukinfield & Ashton and at Hooley Hill. Since "Nostalgia" is part of the title of this thread, I wondered if anyone has any information as to the passenger services that used this particular line and when they...

Does anyone know why, in the last two days, if I click on the "post reply" or "quote" buttons, about once in every ten attempts, the screen appears with just this statement. Is it because the system is too busy ?

I have overheard a conversation on the train this morning that Liverpool decided against a referendum on this matter and have made the local senior Labour member ( ? ) as Mayor. Does anyone know exactly what really happened in Liverpool in the mayoral contest ?

I have just been having a great deal of difficulty in the last hour in accessing certain forum pages. I receive a page stating...."Database Error"....with a note underneath it to say that Railforums UK have been notified of this error. I assumed that the recent alert had been resolved.

NRE website states that the station is closed for refurbishment until Sunday 15th April but on the same screen, it states that the refurbishment works are until Sunday 29th April. Somewhat confusing...:roll:

My sister-in-law (aged 76) who lives in Handforth had to make an emergency visit to Poulton le Fylde to visit her sister on family business and got a lift to Heald Green station, as First TPE run a direct service to Poulton le Fylde from there. However, there was no-one in the booking...

My wife has been to a charity sale today and knowing well of my interest in anything railway-related, bought a professionally bound 12 issue series (1981) of this magazine, which appears to be the first year of issue. It appears to have been editorially based in Thornton Cleveleys. Does...

Date of departure : Wednesday, 25th April 2012 (About 0800) Date of return : Sunday, 29th April 2012 (About 0930) Is it essential to have to go through London? What are the best options available, in any circumstances. Passengers all hold Senior Citizen Railcards. Can you give prices...

This is being launched on 1st March, despite reservations from many quarters being expressed. It is said that people can opt-out of this shared information gathering, but only by "trawling through" all the sections to specifically request this, rather than just making a single agreement to...

Can anyone tell me why this police station in the Rotherham area has a 3-letter code of GOZ in the National Rail Enquiries database. Is it anything to do with the British Transport Police?

Does anyone have any news on this or has a policy decision been made to do this ?

I accessed the TfGM website and saw the map headed "Metrolink Future Network" in which both the existing network and the four projects currently under construction are clearly defined. However, there is another line (marked with a dotted line on the map) which is shown as "Metrolink extension...

This has been announced on BBC North-West News this morning. It appears to be in a lineside building in the Salford area. Any rail staff with news of this and what is involved ?.

I see one of them was shown in flames as a result of the strong winds. Have there been other instances of this before, around Britain?

Did anyone ever visit this, when it was open? I never managed to visit this particular one.

From the days of the opening of the railways, closures of stations have soon followed in the Victorian era onwards through the 1930's closure period and the post 1948 grouping, then the "Beeching" period up to the present day. I wonder if it is possible to create journeys, either as a group of...

Some months ago, there were discussions as to the possibility of the removal of approximately six million tons of burnt shale from this site by rail, to take at least six years to achieve, which would keep numerous heavy road vehicles off the local roads, who would be used as an alternative...
