Knighton loop was completed today, the final passing loop to be replaced aswell.
I think this is great news, so what happens next then?
Timings for the 5th daily train maybe, lol.
The new Sunday timetable show its all replacement busses between Shrewsbury and Brummy. Are they upgrading the line to 90mph in some areas, including track renewal work?
does anyone know how much reduction in traveling time it will save between Chester/Aber-Shrews to Brummy?
I think London...
The spiders are coming in already because its getting colder already.
next its the wasps atticking, then daddy long legs.
no wonder autumn can be depressing. lol
We are not interested in proposals, we want them ordered now because there is now basicly a big concern on overcrowding. We can't live in the future on any class train begining with 15*, i dont like any of them.
WAG are proposing (I hate that word) to put on hold any road projects, for...
I am pleased with how smoothly the Digital switchover has gone and under budget.
The fact the analogue signals were taking up too much bandwidth and with it being shut off, we are able to have more freeview channels.
But, I spent a lot of money on a Freeview built in HD ready TV, now its...
Im unemployed and I do voluntry work, but im bored, i wana get paid for what i do, plus i was told its better for my CV, infact im still not getting interviews.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but would Evergren 3 mean trains could possible do Wrexham to London in about 3 hours. would be great news for people needing to get up early for the 5.10am train, it could then depart at 5.30 or thereabouts, bearing in mind the 5.15 from chester doesnt...
national rail is showing the wrong departure times from knighton to shrewsbury all week. is this a mistake or are the trains running at these different times for this week only.
these should be reopened to allow for terminating trains from aberysywyth when the hourly starts, also heart of wales line trains when london midland clog up platform 5 and 6 with empty stock.
I am interested in knowing what causes the automated announcements on the trains and platforms to pronounce places differently.
for example, on all Arriva trains and stations, Runcorn East is spoken quietly, and Earlstown is twice as loud as the others.
does any1 have any other examples or...
i dont have much info, but it will go from east to west of the kingdom, plus theres plans to link other cities together via high speed electrified rail on the eastern side of the kingdom.
Is this exciting news for us rail enthusuasts, i'd love to travel on the new high speed railway when I go...
time to be honest, our trains are crap and slow, we need more new and electric trains.
The timetables are awful in some cases.
Train companies seem to concentrate on London all the time.
Does anyone use this service?
They extended it to south parkway as a 1 off, also it called at Helsby and Frodsham.
I would use this service if it was later and there was a few return journeys to choose from.
let me guess, no rolling stock, then let a different train company do it, lol
Hi I have 1 of these and I want to go to knighton and come back the next day, is that ticket possible with this travel card, or just day returns only?

Sorry if this has been covered before

My main point is Stanlow and Thornton Railway station, in which passenger numbers have grown a lot over the past 5 years, only 5 years ago, 40 passengers were to have used this station, last year over 400 used it, so thats over 10 times as many passengers, despite Northern rail not improving the...
