    Wigan-Bolton services after electrification?

    It's going to be cleared for Pendolinos, 323s and 331s will surely be cleared for it as the units that will probably run the service, but don't know about 397s or 802s.

    Bee Network Service/Route Discussion

    I would be suprised if Atlantic Travel of Bolton were't there (they have white double deckers and I see them on rail replacement and charter work).

    Wigan-Bolton services after electrification?

    I don't think there's going to be much difference between a 158 and a 156 on those terms. Almost every train on the Atherton line has a 156 or 158 in its formation. Of the 10 Headbolt Lane diagrams, today, 8 of them are 150+156 and only 2 are 150+150 There aren't enough 158s, but there aren't...

    Lumo - passenger experience criticised in Which? review

    Or just have left side of the train faces forwards of travel, right faces backwards. I don't think you'd be able to get many seats in if you scrapped the tables (do the tables have bins next to them as well?) maybe only 1 extra pair.

    EMR mass cancellations on Liverpool-Norwich, 19/04/25

    The two I used (just Sheffield - Dronfield then to Barnsley) were quite busy, but I managed to get a seat. The door area was full of standees, to the point I was worried about being able to get on at all (then ending up in a seat that noone had chosen to take). I had just assumed it was like...

    Altnabreac station and the various legal disputes around it

    Socialblade guesses their earnings as per below, there is a VERY large margin for error when estimating YouTube earnings, since it depends significantly on the audience (and these could even be wrong).

    Incident at Talerddig, Wales - 21/10/2024

    I think it was discussed at one point that Machynlleth depot won't work for 3 cars.

    Incident at Talerddig, Wales - 21/10/2024

    While I don't know which carriages are damaged, if both the carriages with disabled toilets are damaged, forming 1 unit would mean no disabled toilet, and having no disabled toilet means you can't have normal toilets either, so no toilets for hours of journey.

    Marston Vale 150s condition

    I believe 150141 hadn't been in service for a while before it got sent down there (the only /1 I haven't ridden), and the others weren't exactly the best the fleet had. The 150s definitely won't be able to live forever, they'll need replacement in the not too long future, although they might be...

    Best Tube for Fenchurch Street from King's Cross

    Might just be best to get whichever of the three lines comes first when going towards Benfleet. I think in terms of Aldgate/Tower Hill it's just a matter of which comes first, if a Circle line comes first go to Tower Hill, if a Metropolitan comes first go to Aldgate, if there are neither for a...

    Traksy Website

    I know there's no map for Altrincham, but why does clicking the link saying Altrincham at https://traksy.uk/live/M+41+DAVNPRT+1 take you to York's Skelton Jn? Thoroughly confused me until I realised both Skelton Jn have the same name.

    Stockport to Manchester Airport - dedicated bus link with through ticketing?

    During TRU works there has been a 1 per hour Huddersfield - Stockport - Airport rail replacement bus (see at RTT link below). I wonder how effective that is as a trial of this idea, I wonder if any passengers who would otherwise go via Piccadilly are using it (Booked to take 20 minutes by bus vs...

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    I went to go check the file size and it's only 80KB, definitely very little (I could store aproximately 400,000 copies of my ticket on the USB Drive my college gave out for free). That's a fun idea, when will we see tickets stored on USB drives that can be checked by just plugging it into the...

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    Do the links you get to a pdf of the ticket (the https://raileasyapi.api.trainsplit.com/api/DownloadETicket/(obviously not sharing this bit)/journey-1-passenger-1.pdf links) persist for the length of the ticket's validity, or will it stop working earlier than that? I've downloaded a version as a...

    Trainspotting this summer in Manchester/Liverpool

    I think a while ago it was established here that the best way to see all the 777s (if I remember correctly) was to check the sidings at West Kirkby/New Brighton, passing Birkenhead North depot, then stay at one of the 5 stations on the Wirral Line loop for enough time to all the ones on the...

    GWR Class 150s

    I see no reason why the export of 150s would be a DfT issue, the moment they're off the tracks they're just an oversized load on a truck.

    TfW withdrawals (Now just 150/158s to go)

    They are all set for scrap, to continue they'd need expencive exams/maintenance that no-one is paying for Heard rumours on the forums that Northern could potentially take them (they would certainly be useful). https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/tfw-158s-to-northern.283331/

    Proposed new Channel Tunnel services discussion

    And I can absolutely imagine people from further away could go down the night before, that's what my family did when we went on the Eurostar a long time ago (to Paris).

    Porterbrook Cl.769 'Flex' trains from 319s, initially for Northern

    That is weird, do you know if that is related to the conversion or would a 319 have the same one direction compatibility?
