    Tyne and Wear Metro inter availability

    By way of a quick update, I was in Newcastle last week for work and, as I had some spare time, I enquired with station staff if I could use a paper metro ticket on the 2300 service to Sunderland. They were more than happy to confirm it was permitted on any rail service, provided the ticket...

    My experience was marred by a load of rowdy school kids chucking plastic bottles at each other :(

    Tyne and Wear Metro inter availability

    The precise wording I believe is: "Any rail ticket or Metro ticket with a validity between Newcastle Central Station and Sunderland can be used on either Rail or Metro services operating between these locations" This is further supported by the Nexus website, which unambiguously states that...

    No trains Skipton - Lancaster, service struck Pway trolley 25 Aug

    It's no more than a three minute walk, four if you're incredibly slow, so it's no hardship. And there's no station car park anyway, with only limited on road parking - plenty of station users end up parking closer to Kendal Road than the station anyway. Anyway the issue at Hellifield is if you...

    No trains Skipton - Lancaster, service struck Pway trolley 25 Aug

    People keep saying this and I'm puzzled as to why... I can walk to anywhere in Hellifield from the station within 10 minutes.

    Northern getting tough... (on board ticket sales)

    Though I can see how the issues are related, let's try to avoid this discussion becoming a class 150 formations thread. Anyway, any scheme as described by the OP would fall foul of the National Rail Conditions of Travel as highlighted by SickyNicky. Unless Northern wish to pursue a formal...

    Ribble Valley Sunday Hellifield services

    This website is by far the best source of information about the Sunday services between Clitheroe and Hellifield. https://ribblevalleyrambler.wordpress.com/timetable/ 8 October seems unaffected by engineering works.

    Caledonian Sleeper discussion

    Well I was on the Aberdeen portion from Crewe last night. The train arrived at Crewe about 02:20. Having to wait around Crewe in the wee hours of the morning is a pretty dire experience. Staff on board were great, very apologetic and explained the windscreen wiper situation - everyone seemed...

    Do they not have recovery / standby locos in London. Surely that's closer than Crewe?
