I'm planning to attempt to travel the entire Manchester Metrolink network on Saturday.
According to the transitruns website (https://www.transitruns.org/manchester/) and some searching, I haven't been able to find video of any times better than the 06:25:27 by Goran Newsum with video evidence...
Darwin is saying everything is cancelled and showing some Rail Replacement buses
All the cancellation messages say because of forecasted severe weather.
Northern said the below (and as per #1), has been in effect the whole time.
Blanket "another operator" and "any reasonable route", which obviously is of no help to Buxton or Glossop, but works via the North for Sheffield.
08:15 and 15:15 from Manchester Victoria, if you come straight back arriving back at 13:06 or 20:08.
Off-Peak return undiscounted price is £20.60 (Manchester Victoria - Hellifield, but the train goes further to Ribblehead)
I can't really think of a reason not to.
Currently the situation is as such
- DO NOT TRAVEL gets announced days/hours in advance.
- No replacement transport is put on
- Everyone gets fee-free refunds or able to use their ticket on neighbouring days.
The solution you propose would give a bit...
Battery 450s would be more accurate for that title since it was officially announced that SWR were looking at it, and I beleive Stagecoach tendered to run loco-hauled 442s at one point (TPE?)
I was just about to say the same (Except I only had a screenshot, not the link).
As per the linked table, not by much!
Each 197/1 has an individual price of £6,634,504, and each 4-car 231 was £6,896,033. (4% more)
So it'd be reasonable to say a 3-car version would be less than a 197/1.
I don't think there's any way for an EMU to. Stalybridge would probably be the best option (crew permitting obviously)
DMUs could in theory turn in the Freightliner Yard but I doubt they're cleared or trained for it, alternatively there appears to be a bi-di section between Hyde Central and...
There is the level crossing at the station, but the platforms are staggered before the crossing on both sides, trams only need to cross after serving the station.
Maybe a partial part of this is that there is no turnback until Dinting, so any train going down that line must be able to get to Dinting or gets stuck.
I just hope that Northern, EMR, and TPE will have all the spare resources in place so that if NR cancel the closure they can start running.
But I think we all know what'll really happen (i.e. nothing).
That wouldn't work nicely, there's more than 100 units
on that system the phase 1 numbers would be
382001 - 12
780213 - 61
780362 - 426
781427 - 35
It overflows and you'd end up running over 100, which isn't an issue in itself (see 450s and 68s), but it would kind of ruin the idea that the...
I'd like if they were in the app. I don't often make repeat bookings on my PC, but I do on my phone.
Is there any plan to add season tickets? Apart from rovers (which I know have been discussed here before) they're the only thing I don't buy via trainsplit/RailUK Tickets.
Either could be possible,
/0 and counting up is more common, but the 755s are /3 for 3 car and /4 for 4 car.
Same with 458s (/4 and /5), 701s (/5 5 cars, /0 10 car ), original 720 plan (/1 10 car, /5 5 car)
