    Northern Explorer - new ticket?

    It has been stated that the Northern Explorer does not have railcard discounts. It has been left unsaid for the Cumbria Travel Pass, my assumption is it will have railcard discounts like the products it has replaced.

    Northern Explorer - new ticket?

    The new Cumbria Travel Pass at £40 will undercut that, and will become the new Round Robin option. It's basically a merging of the Cumbria Round Robin and Lakes Day Ranger in terms of validity.

    Incorrect cancellation information

    Well exactly, that's why it was a mistake, and they had to send a "Run As Scheduled" message a minute later.

    Delay Repay with split tickets when final leg of journey abandoned due to cancellation

    I'm going to presume that the OP was attempting to catch the 1016 which first planned to terminate at Lancaster didn't get past Carnforth in the end due to signal fault at Carnforth and the queue of trains taking priority on the WCML (there was also a TPE that activated a HABD near Lancaster...

    Incorrect cancellation information

    They messaged out at 1819 that the service would be starting in Crewe, then a message that it would run as scheduled at 1820. Obviously an error that was quickly corrected but that correction might not show up on the info screens instantaneously.

    Traksy Website

    One thing I've noticed on the "newer" version of the site, the past couple of days the 5C08 head code hasn't cleared from platform 4 at Lancaster in the morning.

    The Manxman Railtour - Day 5, there are 2 paths

    Looks like the presence of the earlier path to/from Morecambe means bussing passengers to Morecambe rather than taking train down to Heysham (as would have to wait until after Northern service had cleared the line) I would guess?

    Closure of Bransty Tunnel (near Whitehaven) expected until at least spring 2026

    No blanket ticket acceptance anymore. Only the standard ticket acceptance on TPE only if a Northern train is cancelled.

    Rail & Sail Derby-Douglas IOM via Tamworth?

    Fujitsu Journey Planner has no issue with going via Tamworth. Shows as valid for Liverpool and Douglas. Going via Birmingham is what causes problems. So a theoretical Saturday 0713 Derby to Tamworth, 0744 Tamworth to Liverpool, 1115 Liverpool to Douglas.

    Train vs Plane

    Well ethical objection to flying, and survivability of any accident. But for most people I concede those aren't considerations.
