The best service pattern in my mind is a circular Man Vic - Bolton - Blackburn - Accrington - Burnley - Todmorden - Rochdale - Man Vic running hourly in each direction. You'd potentially have three tph between Blackburn and Manchester; two via Bolton (one being the Clitheroe service) and one via...

I've setup a website to promote Cottingley Rail User's Group and the station. :D Check out: www.crug.vpweb.co.uk :cool:

You've hit the nail on the head! This is just what I think should happen! An hourly circular service would be good; half hourly, even better; then make Clitheroe - Man Vic limited stop south of Blackburn. 2tph would also be a good idea for Clitheroe with trains going alternately to Blackpool...

I'll post the results as and when; won't be anytime soon. I'm still working on it and need to add a few more questions. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- There's been quite a lot of complaints about the service at Cottingley [COT]. What we have at the moment is reasonably OK in...

CRUG (Cottingley Rail Users Group) is a railway pressure group I am trying to set up. This is an email I sent recently to the Yorkshire Evening Post which was in response to another reader's letter. I also make good use of this station, and as Mr. Wilson clearly points out, the train only...

I was at Todmorden recently and I've seen the cleared embankment :D which is being prepared for the new curve. Something that's been pointed out is the position for the trailing crossover. Placing it on the viaduct is possible, but not exactly easy. :-? I personally think it should go...

These are nothing more than delaying tactics; excuses, and pretty lame ones at that. If the curve had been there all the time and had been in continuous use would these new rules mean it would have to be re-laid? I don't think so. What about the curve into Carnforth from Wennington? And the...

Why does the new curve at TOD need to be built on a new alignment? What is wrong with replacing like for like? If it's on the tight side fit it with a check rail. You're not gonna need to do much over 20 mph as it it. The crossover can be south of TOD station thus platform 2 would be bi-directional.

Broughty Ferry What about OKE. This station ought to be fully reopened with a regular service every day of the week! :wink:

Achnashellach James Bond's station: SPY :)

Staplehurst. Now try: SUG Not very busy but I've scored it! :)

Ardgay - Need to be careful not to insert a space! DTN ;)

That's right! SHA was Shaw & Crompton. Sorry if anyone found it confusing! Try this one:BSV

Robertsbridge What about SHA :-?

You don't state which Bentley it is! This is Bentley on the Alton line in Hampshire! :wink: BYK is Bentley near Doncaster. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- This has got to be Uttoxeter! What about BTL - Fox's Biscuits also have a factory here too! :P

West St. Leonards What about; SPP I used this station one hot sunny day three years ago - great!

Teeside Airport! Northern Rail's busiest airport station! :D

Why wait so long???? It's such a short piece of line it could be relaid in one weekend possession. Dragging it out like this just gets everyone hacked off. It's so screamingly obvious to anyone it's needed so the sooner it's relaid the better. Why can't it be ready for December THIS year...

Anyone got any suggestions for a service using the new Todmorden Curve when it's finally relaid? My suggestion is this, a continuous circular service; Manchester Victoria - Bolton - Blackburn - Accrington - Burnley Manchester Road - Todmorden - Rochdale - Manchester Victoria; and of course...
