    Early Departure Times?

    Well, regardless of whatever - I feel Yorkie's idea is the most entertaining. If it was logged as saying it left at xx:50, then it must have done... BUt the clocks, hand on heart, on the Departure Board, said xx:48

    Early Departure Times?

    Erm... I don't think so... If it had left 'ontime' I would have been on that train... It definitely left at xx:48. And it wasn't there when I went to the toilet at quarter to... So it wasn't there at xx:44 as the database says

    Early Departure Times?

    Nah it's departure time was meant to be 15:50 according to NR and my Iphones XC app. Yet when it departed, the departure board also said it's scheduled departure time was xx:50, and as I say, it left at xx:48 leaving myself and at least 8 other passengers behind

    Early Departure Times?

    Is it common for trains to leave earlier than scheduled/advertised?? Waiting to get the train back from Middlesbrough today to Darlington, the train left at xx:48 leaving myself and a few other confused passengers left on the platform. Fair enough we should have been there earlier, but to...

    New London Overland train windows

    That happened with a Voyager outside Derby once. One of the centre Carriages was sweltering, and we were put onto the side tracks so that the driver and train manager could have an inspection - although they couldn't find anything outside, they failed the train - it was terminated early at Derby...

    Do voyagers have Selective Door Opening?

    I don't know if it's for that reason - but on trips back from Penzance, we've had 8 car/9 car Voyager sets - the remaining set being out of use.

    Northern Rail

    A While ago, I heard that Northern were increasing train fares for the Metro area, to fund new carriages. Is this still happening? I've been elected on my University Paper, and my chosen areas of interest are health and travel. Any help on the topic would be much appreciated!

    York - Leeds Electrification

    And if you take a TPE service, it takes sooo long to get there. I thought there was some talk of XC wanting to get rid of Doncaster from the route, and taking all services via Leeds

    York - Leeds Electrification

    There is... But, it could easily be made half hourly, even if it was just upto Newcastle between NXEC and XC.

    York - Leeds Electrification

    Doubt it! XC will still have to use their voyagers... And NXEC (if they continue) will still be using their 91's (if starting to terminate at said Parkway) 185's & 170's for fTPE, 158's for Northern (From Blackpool North) So, I just think that a parkway station would be a good idea... Not...
