And people also speak as if funding is unlimited. It is not.

There is no self dispatch at Lancaster.

Northern (and I think TPE) don't require a photo for a registered card. I wasn't aware you could have an unregistered card for a season though.

Alternatively you could pick up a smart card at the station (or order online) and load the season on that. No photo required for a smart card.

The Morecambe branch has bustitution, but it's an easy one to cover.

Yes you can.

And SuX, the Heysham-Lancaster reverses at Morecambe and Carnforth. (Current Covid timetable, and in that direction only.)

It also did a Morecambe-Lancaster-Carnforth round trip before heading back to Barrow. It was scheduled for 16 Feb as well but didn't run.

The original T&W Metro barriers used to mark the tickets. Initially it was a small rectangular symbol made up of diagonal lines, then it was updated to a line of text - date and time certainly, possibly location too. That was decades ago. Progress, eh?

158s ran Manchester-Scotland in late BR and VXC days. And plenty of 156s on the Lancaster-Oxenholme stretch.

I'm still not seeing it. For pay as you go or carnet type tickets, yes you would need to tap in/out. But for 'normal' walk-up ticket types, SOR/SVR/SDS/etc then you can just store the ticket reference on the smart card rather than in a PDF. What's the difference? Chalk and chalk.

I'm not seeing the difference here? Surely it's the same for an e-ticket return stored on a smartcard as it is for one presented as a barcode on paper? Either the infrastructure is there (gates, validators, conductor's smartphone) to validate the ticket and mark as used - or it isn't, in which...

The engine would restart almost immediately the unit came to a stand. Around the time the doors were being released. From ones I observed from the platform, I didn't notice another engine stop.

In my experience the third engine was always restarted for station departure on WCML, including the Barrow services.

I'm not Northern staff but the shuttle is currently provided by a dedicated unit that comes from and returns to Blackpool It's been that way since May 2018. Prior to that it was worked by several different units that interworked with Barrow/Carlisle services. The first service came ECS from...

That staff was used by any train using the Down & Up Heysham line including the 3 or 4 Morecambe services per day that use the DUH. Trains couldn't proceed past Bare Lane without the staff. The staff also carried the keys for the ground frame at Morecambe - only needed by the Heysham trains of...

It's not great, but it's better than the four hour gap followed by a five hour gap that we have currently!
