On Lumo today from Preston to Motherwell. It pulled into Preston 15 minutes early so there was quite the wait for our path (had to wait for late Avanti to overtake). The Train Manager (or whatever they're calling them) actually scanned my Railcard, I think they're the first person to have ever...

Not really, it covers Manchester - Sheffield but is only valid via Barnsley from there.

It's the School Holidays. There surely isn't that much charter work to cover all of that, for the right price buses would be available, definitely not a quantity enough to run on every line, but they could have at least tried (TfW did and got some buses running Manchester-Warrington, everyone...

Whatever's going on at Norwich must be really funny

Because the title of the article includes "cost taxpayer millions", which clearly can't be the case.

So far acceptance published on the link in post #1 is as follows

The ones on 21/06/2026 were unadvertised at Cressington and RTT tells me they did not stop.

Maybe they should fund completion of the half done White Rose station before trying to start another.

I'm not sure of the frequency since it's not something I frequently check, but it's certainly not the first time I've seen it happen. They also do the same with Deansgate stops on peak time 3 vice 6 short form Airport-Blackpool services

Not quite sure, and I can't seem to find any cases of it being available. The restriction code (AR) is just EMR & Connections, but presumably the route overrides the possibility of it ever showing up.

1Z99 is the code used for rescue trains. They don't have a timetable and therefore don't appear in RTT.

The Civities (195, 196, and 197) have 4 different modes that controls the speed at which gears switch (trading higher fuel usage for higher acceleration) These modes are Eco, Normal, Power, and Super Power. On Northern, Super Power mode is pretty much required for the timetable. On TfW and WMR...

It wasn't done by Northern, it was a TfGM decision. The advanced tickets are just arbitrary routes (e.g. most places have them to Manchester, but few do to Wigan), the single leg pricing has fixed the problem they barely solved (since previously the only singles were anytimes just below the...

Probably exactly the same as the mode by the same name used all the time on Northern 195s.

You could get the 10:54 to Shrewsbury and then the 12:27 to Chester from there (arriving 13:23).

I was just checking if the Preston-Glasgow Off-Peak Day return was valid via Kilmarnock (I thought it was, just wanted to be sure) and the way out routed fine, but it looks like the way back has decided to go via Whitehaven instead of just connecting off the 18:38 arrival to the 18:46 Avanti...

It's only in passenger service on Saturdays, but makes appearances on other days sometimes too, mostly Thursdays for some reason.

I have definitely seen reservation cards on them recently and I've not heard anything to say they've been stopped. Your train had a good 50 mins turnaround at Liverpool so I can only assume the printer is broken.

Yes, I saw some at Southampton last month.

Huddersfield line is closed again this week, so TPEs are diverted via Todmorden and take up the paths they would normally use.
