a very friendly place? i dont think so,from the racist bigoted anti Welsh rants that tdk in particular has been posting it is anything but friendly and the moderators have sat idly by whilst tirades of anti Welsh vitriol have been appearing daily on these pages,little wonder that some of us dont...
swings and roundabouts the 0945 Llandudno to Manchester will become a 2car 175 instead of 3 car also 1250 Manchester to llandudno and 1508 Llandudno to Manchester as far as chester where another 2 car will attach to Manchester 1750 Manchester departure will be 2x2 175 so extra seats there too, 2...
Gerallt stock will be having a test run to Manchester on a Saturday in early June , the loco hauled diagram Llandudno-Manchester-Holyhead-Manchester-Chester is now expected to start in Dec 14,five months earlier than expected, 6 mk 3s have been purchased for use expected to be load 4 and loco...
All Blaenau services have to stop at Tal Y Cafn for operational reasons at the level crossing, they may as well show it as a public stop ,this train is usually empty stock all the way to Blaenau, this is unlikely to change.
loco and stock diagram to Manchester is happening in may 15, rolling stock has been selected for overhaul, will release a 3 car 175 for a diagram reshuffle.
four per cent nonsense rears its head again, a discredited statistic, if you travel one way from the coast to Cardiff it is cheaper to buy a one way ticket to Bristol route Hereford and then a single from Newport to Cardiff, this will not show up as a North South journey, again Irish tickets and...
should be double track layout at Saltney, same as it was from 1980-86,but up line(that is the former gwr up towards Wrexham) points out of use until double track is re-instated.
I don't know where an additional dvt would be obtained from but an additional 67 should be possible, 67 012 has been on hire from Chiltern this week and with class 68s on the horizon there may be a pool of 67s available in two years.
as well as the renovation already underway of the former ticket office block at Helsby work will begin next week on the Harrington hump on the Chester bound platform.
atw are looking into it as dft are going to make a contribution,6 more mk3s so the story goes.and the story is coming from inside atw from reliable sources.
talk is of a lhcs set for a Llandudno to Manchester to Holyhead to Manchester to Chester diagram in may 2015 to release a set or two.stock to be stabled at lnwr Crewe apparently.
there are 2tph from Rhyl for most of the day,the reason there are 4tph at this time of afternoon is so that the units can be in Piccadilly to work the 1650 1720 and 1750 services back from Manchester, in fact this pattern is to the detriment of coast passengers as it means that the 1508 from...
I am not the one dragging the topic off in another direction, i have no problem with additional services from Wrexham, but it is difficult for you to justify 2 tph all day .
of course they amount to more than 10k per annum, there are for example at least 20 issues per day from Bangor alone to the west country via route Hereford, a thousand bookings last Friday alone for Ireland from South Wales for the Ireland v Wales match.
the following are not accounted for in the infamous/spurious three per cent nonsense. through journeys to the West Country via Newport.Bristol is important and a popular destination and the route Hereford fares are lower than any permitted...journeys such as Warrington/Frodsham etc to the South...
there are over a thousand bookings to Ireland via Holyhead from the Cardiff region today for the rugby international.
