https://www.networkrail.co.uk/our-work/our-routes/north-west/piccadilly-corridor-renewal/ I have just been reading some notes from a poster on another forum from a recent Manchester Airport Consultative Committee. The public are admitted as observers and this poster was present. He refers to...

I rolled up to Manchester Piccadilly last night to get back to Cheadle Hulme about 1850. The next 3 Northern trains were cancelled with the next one at 2006. Quelle surprise! So plan B into operation - next train to Stockport and catch a bus. The next train was the delayed 1843 Norwich , due...

I am planning a trip from Stockport to London in the near future and will be using an off-peak flexible return ticket with a senior railcard (£68.20) which will show 'Stockport - London Stations'. I am aware that as well as the direct AWC trains, I can use it on the MML via Sheffield, or via...

Could someone please identify the illuminated trams which were in the parade on Thursday 28th October please?

Things are stirring again at Chirk https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/19812001.long-lost-railway-station-chirk-rebuilt/

Serious investigations afoot for the Kitt Green factory in Wigan (producer of baked beans and other things) to get it's own siding to move things in and out. Story here https://www.wigantoday.net/business/could-wigan-heinz-plant-get-its-own-railway-station-3508992

There has been a serious collision on the M6 northbound this morning. As a result an HGV has gone onto the verge and hit the railway bridge support on the west side of the bridge. The line is the WCML branch from Crewe to Wilmslow and this crosses the M-way between Sandbach and Holmes Chapel...

Just seen a report that this unit has been noted this morning at Longsight. From the wording, I think it was in the shed previously used to look after the 323s on the up side of the main line. I assume this has come from Crewe as it is one of the ones that Scotrail used. Does anyone know how it...

From an article by Simon Calder, Avanti are getting rid of the morning peak bands on Friday morning now. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/off-peak-train-tickets-rail-friday-avanti-west-coast-b1754743.html

Made the short 5 minute journey from Stockport to Cheadle Hulme today on Northern. First time on a train for about 6 weeks and my ENCTS pass was checked electronically rather than visually by the guard on the train. This is new. Guard said they had only recently been issued with the kit to do...

Earlier in June/ July, there appeared to be a 331/0 on Manchester - Stoke diagram and another on a Manchester - Crewe via Stockport diagram. The Stoke diagram was the one which included the 1644 Manchester - Stoke and the Crewe diagram included the 1701 Manchester - Crewe via Stockport. I...

Evening An update on this locked thread please. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/scotrail-retb-class-156s.127877/ From the above, it would appear that RETB was fitted to the following in 2016 156445/447/450/453/456/457/458/465/474/476/477/478?485/492/493/496/499/500. Can anyone supply an...

Having read some of the interesting trip reports, I thought I would have a go! First a bit of personal gen. I spent around 40 years in the Airports Industry, so chasing aircraft around the world (including Siberia and North Korea) was my main hobby. One of my other interests is beer and I have...

Afternoon I may have some spare time in Leeds tomorrow (Sat 24th) and I wondered if any one could tell me if there might be any Type 90 VTEC workings there during the day? In addition, are there any VTEC HSTs due to operate to Leeds tomorrow? Thanks for any help. Cheers CW

Good morning Relatively new here although I have been lurking for some time and I have a ticketing query. I travel from Cheadle Hume to London about half a dozen times a year and more often than not buy a walk-up off-peak ticket (with a senior railcard) as I like to keep my plans flexible...
