    Special Offers Discussion

    TPE sale has allowed me to purchase tickets for one trip (HUD>LIVret 2 adults) and now says I can't buy anymore with this offer. If this is the same for all, make sure you buy your 1st preference.

    Special Offers Discussion

    And no "through" advances. So for eg. LDS to EDB will need 2 tickets, LDS to NCL, and NCL to EDB, to be booked separately. If you can do it, 2 quid each way would still be a phenomenal bargain.

    Transpennine £1 sale on the way. Similar to the one that was truncated by the 1st Covid lockdown.

    New Bradford to Huddersfield route

    £15,000 is the guide price. It could go for a lot more.

    £48m boost for Penistone line service doubling and capacity increases

    Why not an extra semi-fast, calling Huddersfield-Penistone-Barnsley-Meadohall-Sheffield only. This wouldn't reduce or increase service to the shacks, but one train per hour at Lockwood, Berry Brow et al, is enough. I'd go as far as to say more than enough. A sub hour, end to end, journey should...

    Driver ‘allegedly’ refused to leave as too many passengers on board

    When England were playing their football at Old Trafford, I was on a train(142) from Man. Vic. to Eccles. It was so full the driver could not gain access to the cab. Cue announcement that the train is "cancelled due to overcrowding". Many people disembark. Driver gains access. Service...

    Controversial railway opinions (without a firm foundation in logic..)

    Closing them wasn't always the mistake, making them impossible to re-open was.

    What mode will Crossrail 2 be?

    Logically it would be the CrissCrossline

    Levenshulme/Burnage.

    Thanks for the advice all. After reading another thread we ended up adding a £3.20 Plus-Bus to our tickets.

    Levenshulme/Burnage.

    I will thank you. I just didn't want to if I didn't need to.

    Levenshulme/Burnage.

    Friday 23rd. We were thinking Huddersfield to Piccadilly to Levenshulme. Walk, via hostelries, to Burnage. Then Burnage > MAN > HUD for the return.

    Northern and TransPennine Express future

    I'm pretty sure that the individual carriage numbers, within the sets, are finished 1,2 and 4. Big indicator that "3" is the missing center car.

    Levenshulme/Burnage.

    I have an off-peak return from Huddersfield to Burnage. On the outward journey would I be allowed to take the train to Levenshulme and walk to Burnage from there? The price to both stations is the same.

    Projects you'd build but will (probably) never happen

    You are not being fanciful enough. Entend your HS2 from Sheffield via a cross Bradford line and out through Skipton to Colne.

    TPE staffing for the liverpool to newcastle direct train

    Yes of course it is entirely reasonable. The new train crew have not seen any of the passengers before and cannot know whether they have tickets/Railcards. But maybe traincrew starting at LDS, upon seeing a ticket Newcastle > Liverpool could reasonably be expected to assume the railcard has...

    TPE staffing for the liverpool to newcastle direct train

    But, a newly boarded ticket inspector, should realise that Railcards will have been shown before on tickets. Common sense.

    Huddersfield station buffet to close

    Just to confirm. All the Beerhouses group of pubs. Dewsbury(2), Horbury, Huddersfield(2), Idle and Stalybridge, are all still, very much, up and running. Stalybridge is obviously a little quiet ATM but will trade through until the station reopens. And not a single pint of John Smith's to be...

    Class 185 future

    Someone above said they are good InterCity units: they aren't, they are good commuter units. (the 158s were better for InterCity) Someone else above said popular with pax: only when paired. You can always hear the groan on the platform when a 3er comes into view.
