Had to go to ticket office at Preston and obtain a free "boarding pass". In true BR fashion, this just consisted of a small piece of paper with the words 'InterCity APT Boarding Pass' photocopied to the nth degree. The ticket clerk would then stamp this pass and write your coach and seat number...

Yes. I have heard the incorrect auto-announcement and it sounds awful! You would think they would try and get the basics right.

You mean Euxton (pron. Ex-ton) Balshaw Lane.

No. Finsbury Park allocated Deltics received racehorse names. Gateshead and Haymarket allocated Deltics were named after Yorkshire/North-East and Scottish regiments respectively.

Not to me it doesn't! I've heard personal details such as bank details, passwords (spelled out), dates of birth, NI numbers, burglar alarm codes as well as company confidential information. First class coaches must sometimes be a would-be identity thief's paradise.

Good luck for Preston-Ormskirk. With Northern's current problems in Lancashire you could spend your entire time waiting for a train to turn up!
