The ticket will have restriction code B3 printed on it, for which the details are published and consistent, as in the link I gave previously. 1787640091 Also at https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ticket-types/validity/b3/ 1787642894 What appears to happen is that the people responsible for pricing...

It may be completely different, but Crewe CE154 operated under a Temporary Approach Control Link for some months, https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/approach-control-signalling-at-crewe.212702/#post-4926511, pending a fix which took some time to implement. Similar to your case, all trains had...

It depends on the precise terms of the time restrictions. If they say “not valid on trains scheduled to depart before 09:00”, for example, you can not board a late running train. 1787597832 For example, would not allow you to take a late running train at 08:45. If you tell us which rover...

There are 20,000 fictitious numbers, eg 07700 900461 (Doctor Who) so just use one of these. I used something similar recently when raising a complaint and asking for a response in writing, so I made sure the telephone number I was forced to enter on the form wouldn’t work.

I believe you’re correct, with occasional exceptions such as Tower Bridge which is enforced by cameras. No police to be seen out and about, 20mph limits are not enforced but they make many drivers who would have been driving at 40mph go slower than that. I don’t believe the court thing, they are...

Agreed, I don't use it very often but I never use it for Piccadilly-Victoria journeys. Last week I was using it to get back from the Arndale Centre to Piccadilly, for example, because my left leg has been troubling me for a while.

No, it was still the same in 1978-79 and 1979-80 if not later. I can't remember exactly when I travelled on it, but it wasn't 1974-5 when I was 12-13, it was a few years later. 1M47 called at Carlisle in the 1980-81 timetable, 19:19.5-19:22.5, then Preston 20:30.5-20r34.5, Warrington (but not...

Agreed. Some of the timings attached. From 1974 departures from Euston were roughly xx.40 Wolverhampton xx.45 Glasgow (not every hour) xx.50 Liverpool xx.55 Manchester xx.00 Carlisle/Blackpool/Holyhead with stops eg at Rugby xx.10 SX Birmingham then a big gap until the next xx.40 departure...

The other routeing points for Normanton are Leeds and Pontefract, but neither of these is valid for Chesterfield-Normanton because they don’t pass the fare check rule. Wakefield is a valid routeing point for this journey.

Chesterfield to Normanton is valid via Wakefield, map SY at https://rgpp.iblocks.co.uk/maps, which includes Westgate. I don’t know why no itinerary is generated, though.

Thank you, good point, I clarified the dates in my original post to be clearer. 1787559004 The freightliner depot at Longsight was also open until 1987, so fewer freight trains would have gone through Piccadilly before it closed.

Yes, the problem is that the first time you use it you don’t know this, as I didn’t, but now I do. Not the end of the world. At least there were plenty of seats once I worked it all out. 1787423759 I agree. Turning the parked cars into tin cans would be a perfectly acceptable solution to me.

You can also walk to Shude Hill Interchange, spend ten minutes wandering around trying to find information on which gate is which and which one is used by the free bus, and miss at least one service until you work it all out. As I did a week ago.

To something like 10 trains per hour, initially, or one every 6 minutes. For example 1990-91 12:04 DMU(A) from Wigan Wallgate to Cheadle Hulme 12:07 EMU Altrincham to Wilmslow via Styal 12:13 D210 Liverpool Lime Street CLC to Newcastle 12:18 DMU(S) Blackpool North to Nottingham UNTIL 28 SEP...

Local trains for local people I guess! I lived in the area 1981-84 I guess. Isn't the point of announcements and so on to be helpful, rather than confusing?

Yes, I know all that of course, but it's the inconsistency that annoyed me - every station indicator at Waterloo said "Addlestone" but I got on the train and immediately saw that it said "Weybridge" so anyone unfamiliar with the practice or the geography would get off the train again...

Do the percentages based on a total of 40,000 notices issued daily, and it comes to a lot of court cases, however the significant majority of these will be discontinued before reaching court (although after a time and date for a hearing in person is allocated). Most people think ”CCJ” means...
