Recently been mentioned to me by a friend planning an overnighter at Preston that there is a drag between Preston and Longsight. I've also seen this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oozQjQIY9is&t=289s at about 4:40 in there is a Pendo drag. Is this a regular working?

Looking at National Rail, the off peak return from Euston to Milton Keynes is £7.75 any permitted. Looking again, the off peak return from Euston to Cheddington is £8.10. Isn't Cheddington further south than Milton Keynes? Surely therefore it should be cheaper? Anyway, if this is the case, I...

I was at Acton Bridge yesterday and noticed periods of at least ten minutes where there were no trains in sight. Could this "free" capacity be used for more extra calls at Acton Bridge? For instance, something like possibly a Crewe - Preston stopper? This would call at Winsford, Hartford, Acton...

http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U50732/2017/04/03/advanced Just seen this on RTT and am wondering whether this is a steam loco. I've been told it's Galatea coming back from the weekend, but considering that she just failed her FTR exam, how likely is it that she will be on the mainline?

So it seems that 76084's move to Sheringham has been cancelled as the move from the East Lancs didn't run this morning. If it is rescheduled, when is this likely to be?

I've just seen a picture taken today of a Macclesfield to Longsight Pendo Drag by 2 DRS 57s. Why has this run? When do the locos leave Longsight? My real question is I've seen a couple of videos and photos of recent pendo drags, and I'm wondering why they are happening?

I have found some videos on youtube documenting the use of Class 222s on Liverpool to Nottingham trains on race days. Does anyone know when this will be happening this year if it is a yearly thing?

I am planning on seeing Pathfinder's The Waste Train tomorrow at Manchester Victoria, and I'm having trouble finding the path for it on RTT.

Hi all, I have a off peak single from Manchester to Euston for the 28th Jan, planning to leave Piccadilly on the 0635, which stops at Rugby at 0755. I'm planning on seeing the Winter Cumbrian Coast Express at 0825. Could I then get the 0835 to Euston from Rugby, or is my ticket not valid?

If you look at any freight train on RTT, the headcodes are always nonsense like 621T for instance, on today's Valley Nuclear Electric to Crewe Coal Sidings (DRS). Where do they get these headcodes from and is there any way to find the real headcode?
