I think the staff is in a locked box at Oxenholme

You can however add Bryn to Patricroft Bryn to Newton-le-Willows Bryn to Warrington BQ

Can I just ask the OP when exactly did they speak to the conductor? Was it on the platform before the train departed? Or did you seek out the conductor on the train after departure?

A lot of the time the gateline looks overstaffed because traincrew on breaks or staff that have finished or not yet started shifts will stop to chat as they pass through.

Drivers/guards also route learning on Northern services.

The yellow line is usually there to indicate a position of safety from a passing train (usually above 100mph) even though at Worcester my guess is linespeed is much lower, not a distance for safe dispatch. So whilst the distances may be similar TOCs policies on this will differ.

030000 Journeys routed Stockport may travel via Romiley. This easement applies in both directions.

Both stations have very similar sized car parks (approx 70 spaces) and there is alternative on street parking around. 1773258919 Whilst technically a thorough station. For all intents and purposes Ellesmere Port is a terminus for Merseyrail and although no buffers, lack of electrification means...

Burnley Central and Nelson both busier than Colne.

DId you ask staff what your options were when reaching Preston?

Probably knife arches and a revenue block. BTP and the TOCs do them regularly across the country. Most likely drugs dogs there too. Im not sure the arches actually detect anything (ive walked through with metallic items in my pocket before) but officers watch peoples body language and behaviour...

Whilst units on the station generally pay a percentage of sales as rent, those outside that rely on footfall probably wont get anything.

I know on driver/guard strike days Carlisle agency staff working on behalf of Northern went unpaid unless they chose to take annual leave. Whilst its likely some may be repositioned to other stations such as Guide Bridge, and some will likely check the trains arriving on P13, its likely several...

Did a single TOC run minimum service levels during industrial action though under the previous government?

Manchester Picc, platform 9.

The final Piccadilly to Hadfield train is back clear of the line by 1800 when it closes, similarly the Buxtons will be clear of the line by 1800. If the 17.03 Hadfield or 17.21 Buxtons ran they would not be clear of the line when it (and the signalboxes) close. The 17.03 wouldn't leave Dintings...

Apparantly Northern wanted to delay 'throwing the towel in' until a more accurate weather forecast today, partucularly on Hadfield/Glossop, but their hands were tied by Network Rail, and road transport providers who couldnt guarantee MOM coverage, buses, taxis (even to get crews back to depot)...

Unless you return on the same train, which most people dont, that isnt really true. If you buy a return to go somewhere for a few hours, the train doesnt usually sit there wait and take you back. It will do several other journeys and your return most of the time isnt on the same unit. So on a...

Yes both ASLEF and RMT want a proper 7 day working week. The TOCs that dont have this would need to employ approx 1/6 more drivers/guards/revenue staff to facilitate this. This comes with associated training, pension, additional management costs etc, so it is cheaper for them to rely on overtime...

Well the annual rainfall in Penrith is approximately twice that in London
