    Should children be taught how to use public transport at school?

    Re: Buses: I picked it up not from not my parents but Aunties and Uncles. As for the tube, I had the fear of god put in me as I was told the doors would only open for five seconds as they were on timer.

    Security at Barrow Crossings

    I always thought barrow crossings where for stations for passengers to cross the line when there are no other means, like a bridge or underpass. I suppose barrows used them as well hence the name as the 'barrow'.

    Natural phenomenon you have witnessed?

    I think I've read it's going to be low down in the west, so you'll need a line vision for a glimpse.

    No Sunday service between Lostock Junction and Crows Nest Junction?

    http://www.northernrailway.co.uk/check-before-you-travel Indeed, but I didn't want to be pedantic, it was named after the nearby Crow Nest farm, which has now been re-named Crows Nest farm to confuse matters. Last time I went the signal box was gone sadly, part of Manchester ROC now.

    Is this Merseyrail Penalty Fare sign accurate?

    I think it's just badly worded, let's say you didn't print it off and couldn't present it, otherwise it would just be a case of scanning the image off a phone or whatever.

    Third platform at Salford Crescent: project updates

    I'm fairly sure it was the ORR and it dragged on for months. I doubt it, they would just have loads of staff on hand.

    From what I have read on FB in a reliable group, P3 will be in open after the 13th December timetable change, but is this subject to ORR approval.
