A crude measurement on Google maps suggests the distance in between the bridges is 75m. A class 777 is 65m long, I would guess that means the front door of the second set could open, so front 5 cars only. I could be wrong just guessing.

The first trains are running on time, with 4 car class 150s operating today. Well done to all involved!

Recent train times shows the turnaround from yesterday! All going well so far today which is great news, I guess the doors aren't a big problem after all.

A possible new station at Cheadle in south Manchester. It looks like Cheadle has won about £14m from the government and are looking to use £9m to build a station on the Chester-Manchester line, where this line crosses the B5095 near the Alexandra Hospital. Located on the site of the old LNWR...

Bristol Temple Meads is open again, work seems to have finished on time. NR have posted some pictures of the shiny new trackwork, looks great! https://twitter.com/networkrailwest/status/1433381105030385666

I didn't even realise, I saw new looking black and white and joined the dots!

New directional signage above the gateline at Manchester Victoria. EDIT: not new and not RA2

For completeness here are the stats for serviced heading the opposite direction. Alderley Edge to Southport seems to be a weakness.

I just checked and I think you might be right!

Recent train times allows you to see the performance of services over a long period. I've attached a screenshot of Southport to Alderley Edge services. Statistics are for the last 4 weeks and over a week of services are displayed. Of course it could always be better but the trains do seem to...
