    Do “Through train” enthusiasts exist?

    This thread has made me realise how few services I've done the full length of in 1 go! Kirkby/Headbolt Lane - Liverpool Central, Euston - Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Picc - Hatfield, Rose Hill Marple, Sheffield, Chester, Stourbridge Shuttle, Inverness - Kyle, Aberdeen, Edinburgh. London...

    I would say even beyond all from one station, maybe just until it grows too big (if ever) a giant list of all tickets (maybe ordered by distance from selected location). E.g. London has at least (depending what you count) 8 major termini, so anyone living in Zone 1 or 2 looking for day trip...

    Because the admin fee take enough that it'd be more useful to re-sell it. The site would probably be better if it just listed all the tickets available in a big filterable list rather than having to individually search for any pair of ~2000 locations with any of 6 discount options (24 million...

    New Northern map

    I think that would be very difficult on the current map, and would bring new issues to light (e.g. the weird service pattern for Blackpool - Liverpool (1tph) services compared to Wigan - Liverpool (2tph) which have several variations of stopping patterns at peak times but they are all neatly...

    New Northern map

    Yes these are on their website Unfortunately that probably wouldn't be easy, since singular lines will use multiple maps.

    Northern Unit Refurbishments and depot allocations.

    Interesting you can clearly see where the 9 has been put on top of the 4 I thought it had been renumbered to 156407 but that seems to not be the case.

    What would happen if I broke dropoff/pickup only rules on trains?

    Yes, although there's only 2 services that has that kind of restriction at Stockport today and it's the Manchester -> Stockport -> Euston super fast, and the late evening train that is drop off only at all stops after Nuneaton. There's also a completely unadvertised stop by CrossCountry at...

    Third platform at Salford Crescent: project updates

    I've still not used the bypass track, once it opens as Platform 0 (or 3), I'll probably try to both arrive and leave from it.

    What would happen if I broke dropoff/pickup only rules on trains?

    as said above, it really depends on the TOC To add to the list already mentioned, TPE at Bolton would shout at you (from what I've heard secondhand). Obviously it's very difficult to physically stop you getting off once the train has stopped, but as commuters from Paddington to Reading have...

    Third platform at Salford Crescent: project updates

    Yes it was looking quite good last Wednesday (and the Saturday before that). From Saturday the 10th (panorama): From Wednesday the 14th with people working on it:

    New Northern map

    Yep, smoothly merges into the Northern service and then appears at Oxenholme out of a different line. Apart from Gatley, Deansgate, and Chorley, the Windermere - Airport is the same as the TPE - Scotland as far as Oxenholme, and I don't think we need more lines through Castlefield I don't...

    New Northern map

    There's a new version of the map online (it's dated November so it might've been there a while). Not sure if this new version is at stations, I haven't looked at my local one since October. Original -...

    Social media ban for under 16s

    So something opt in by parents, with a secondary 'undergroud' market for unlocked phones, with all censorship controlled by the mobile network, easily workedaround with a VPN?

    Social media ban for under 16s

    But ban what? The currently restrictions clearly aren't working based on that last bullet point, moving that by 3 years won't change that.

    Best/Worst value Day Rangers

    I can only presume it's to add a premium for using trams/trains, especially in regard to the tram zones + buses. Would be cheaper than current so I'd be happy. The difference to the Derbyshire wayfarer is that there are the trams on this side. And the Metrolink don't have any Railcard...

    Tempted to buy a Lichfield City -> Lichfield Trent Valley single with disabled Railcard (£0.85) and put it on there just to test, unless anyone has any cheaper tickets that would work there?

    Social media ban for under 16s

    Have none of them heard of using an old phone as a dummy? I complied with my school's phone policy but if they wanted to take them away from us daily I would have kept an old phone on hand to substitute out. The only workable solution to this is to put responsibility on the parents. Anything...

    Best/Worst value Day Rangers

    The Greater Manchester rail ranger (and it's versions with bus and/or tram) are great products. Rail on it's own is £9 for a day Train + Tram + Bus is £11.40 Train + Tram is £10.10 Train + Bus is £9.70 Tram + Bus has many fares depending on tram zones, from any 1 zone being £5.40 to all zones...
