Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/new-people-mover-train-to-connect-the-new-hs2-station-at-birmingham-interchange-with-the-airport-terminal.242853/ Presumably Manchester Airport will need similar with the planned station across the other side of the M56, especially...

Am wondering if a staff travel card holder who wouldn't normally not get any benefit from delay repay could claim a free ticket from Northern if their delay met the criteria? Also would the free ticket have to be used by the claimant or is it transferable?

Possibly one for a separate speculative thread but how many units do Northern need to work the services in the North East currently? And how many need strengthening? Just wondered if it would be a good idea for Northern to take on (and refurbish) the TFW 175s for the North East (assuming there...

RMT have suspended all strike action and have come to a preliminary agreement with Northern. All trains to run with safety critical guard for duration of franchise with some door control passed to drivers. More details will emerge soon

Noticed 150215 in old Northern Rail colours working 1252 Manchester Piccadilly to Llandudno today with ATW traincrew. Is this unit on permanent hire to ATW or was this an ad hoc cover?

When I check NRE for fares for a day return from York to Carlisle on Saturday it shows a North East Round Robin to be the cheapest ticket. I need to do both the outward and return legs via Newcastle as I'm meeting somebody. NRE still said this was the cheapest ticket. However under the ticket...

I am aware that certain Rovers and Rangers are eligable for a Priv discount, including All Line Rovers and Cheshire Day Rangers. There is no mention of which can be discounted on the Atoc staff travel website either and Priv information generally isn't stated on TOC's public websites. Is there...

Why are Northern not running their **14 stoppers from Piccadilly to the airport for the next 5 weeks on a Sat??

The North seems to have relatively fewer automatic barriered stations than any other part of England, with many major stations 'open'. The following are stations below are ones I know to be barriered (or those with asterix proposed or under construction). Are there any others? or any others...

In the advantix machine there are two anytime return fares - Any Permitted and London. The Any Permitted is considerably cheaper than the London fare. Using the ATOC online routing guide it would seem that London is a valid 'Any Permitted' route as Amersham is part of the London group...
