Perhaps taking the path that was formerly occupied by TPE, which hasn't returned in favour of an hourly service from Manchester to Scarborough

Another really minor one, but Hartlepool needs O.O.U removing from its recently reopened Platform 3

Essentially yes, although previously the first board ran onto the 17:09 and the second ran onto the 17:39. Unit diagrams for northern are available via FOI: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/diagrams_from_june_2024_to_dec_2#incoming-2630785

The following journeys will now be 170 operated (previously Sprinters): 06:33 Harrogate to Leeds 07:15 Leeds to Harrogate 08:05 Harrogate to Leeds 17:39 Leeds to Knaresborough 18:31 Knaresborough to Harrogate (NIS) Leaving just the following journeys to be operated by 2xSprinters 06:24 Leeds to...

That would make sense, but then the Piccadilly to Newcastle/Scarborough and in the current timetable the Piccadilly to Hull services exist so not sure why the problem should only arise now. In fact in the original version of the ECML track access application it was to be -Liverpool to...

Although both the Wakefield service and Saltburn service will continue to serve Piccadilly, and will take admittedly only around 10 minutes or so longer between there and Huddersfield, there will no longer be an express service from Huddersfield into Piccadilly and overall it seems like Victoria...

I don't see how additional services for Redcar and Saltburn are at the expense of passengers convenience? Extending the service from Middlesbrough to Saltburn will certainly be a huge convenience to those who previously would have had to change at Middlesbrough. Does Scarborough deserve a direct...

Pretty sure that's due to operational convenience more than anything else with it being a tack on after Middlesbrough.

Tbf that's an anomaly as usually the service runs to Chester but is diverted to Liverpool today due to engineering works. The Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool corridor is already serviced by TPE, perhaps some people are taking advantage of the presumably cheaper fares on the northern service.

Liverpool to Hull is returning. Keeping this somewhat on topic, it will mean 4tph on TPE from Manchester Victoria: -Liverpool to Newcastle -Liverpool to Hull -Manchester Airport to Saltburn -Manchester Victoria to Scarborough So a return to roughly the pre-Dec 2023 timetable except with the...

Tbf when you look at Northern's departures from York they occupy a through platform all day for terminating services, the Leeds stopper occupies P10 or 11 from :47 to :08 then the second Leeds via Harrogate occupies it between :12 and :42. If the Leeds stopper or Blackpool service were extended...

Many thanks for all your hard work on the site takno. Not sure if it's on your list or if there's a quick fix but at the berth before St Helens Central towards Liverpool, the last service that runs through at any given time always seems to stick.

The original proposal was an 1.5 tph service to London comprising the hourly Newcastle stopper and Edinburgh express every two hours, and a 1.5 tph train service to Edinburgh comprising the hourly crosscountry service and the Edinburgh express every two hours - exactly the same for Darlington...

At the time of the proposed 2022 timetable change there were 4 tph Manchester to York on TPE but that was reduced to three with the Scarborough and Newcastle services merged. In an ideal world eventually there would be: -Liverpool to Newcastle -Manchester Airport to Saltburn -Liverpool to Hull...

There's a call in the WTT (Working Train Timetable) but not in the GBTT (Great British Train Timetable) - so not actually in the passenger timetable.

The changes at Garforth are in the current timetable, the Blackpool North to York calls replaced the TPE services in December.

At one point it was rumoured that it will return with the ECML timetable recast - with TPE running two-hourly Newcastle to Manchester Piccadilly (the other hour running to Scarborough) as was introduced in December and XC running an hourly service to York, extending to Newcastle every two hours...

A train arrives at Carlisle from Dumfries at 05:34 according to RTT, rather than one departing to Dumfries 05:34? Ah apologies, must have missed that with it being a couple months back!

Not sure if this has been mentioned but it appears that the arrangement between Northern and Scotrail will be ending from the May timetable change. The 05:31 Carlisle to Dumfries will be withdrawn (essentially a stock move for Northern Rail units from Carlisle). Instead a Scotrail unit will...

One thought I did have is that the Darlington to Saltburn service could become a Darlington to Nunthorpe/Whitby service given this is intended to be split away from the Newcastle to Middlesbrough service in the future. Having said that, I'd say the demand for a half hourly service from...
