And there's the Rogart railway carriage, where you can stay for around £20 a night. There used to be a discount for those arriving by rail. Though warning, if you don't like a one horse town without the horse, don't get off at Rogart!

I wondered when they would get around to the railways, they created a complete mess last time with their political ideology and now here comes round 2. Private=good, public=bad. They are blind to everything else.

As 'free' travel (and yes it is taxed) was in place prior to privatisation of the railways it is surely protected by law? The people the NoTW are attacking joined the railways when the pay was poor, but was offset by a pension and free travel. Rags like NoTW and the Daily Mail enjoy sniping...

The walk from Hessle to the bridge is not signposted and is also not as obvious as you might think. It will be a good 15/20 mins before you are high above the railway and seemingly only yards (as the crow flies) frrom Hessle station. The walk over the bridge is interesting, but you have to have...

Trust is showing the Bradford GC's (Mon-Fri) from the new timetable to be HST's. I have been told that this is an error. However, I keep reading on enthusiast sites that HSTs are barred from the route. I've no idea where that information comes from. The Greetland branch is not restricted...

If it's a one off I can't see the harm, especially as they had a unit waiting at Doncaster for a cross platform connection and I imagine everyone got to stations to the Interchange on time. I can't imagine that they would get away with trying this on a regular basis, especially as it would...

Seems that is exactly what is happening. Hope it works seamlessly as the Bradford's are begining to pick up and it would be a shame to hack off people attracted by the £39 deal. BTW piece in today's Bradford Telegraph & Argus talking about raising line speeds from 50mph to 70mph, I assume...

Interesting way of meeting demand, this from GC's site today: Thursday 21st April Due to heavier passenger numbers than normal on our 19:18 London Kings Cross to Sunderland service we advise passengers who are travelling to York without a reservation to travel on the 19:48 London Kings...

Through the 70s I spent virtually my entire school holidays at my Granddads in Northumberland. We would get off at Widdrington and catch a bus on from there. They whittled down the service to such an extent that it became unuseable for anyone but communters. Now the only way is to Alnmouth and...

There is a ground signal to take you from Hellifield's down platform back towards to Clitheroe. So you can turn around in the down platform, or boot everyone off and cross the ECS over at Settle Jn. Operationally it's Ok (ish), but in truth how many people would use the service? When the...

The point was touched on earlier; could some of these 'new' units replace the Leeds-Morecambe's between Leeds-Skipton? The faster acceleration would allow the current Morecambe paths to stop at more of the intermediate stations and it might allow for DMUs to work a higher frequency service...

Interesting that seemingly any amount of freight trains and light engines are allowed to travel to Doncaster via Hare Park when they could as easily use the Askern branch, yet three GC's a day are denied. Could it be a case of protecting East Coast with the re-privatisation in mind? I note...
