I'm not going to provide details in case it gets the individual in trouble but the very first time I encountered it was at the suggestion of someone in a ticket office when I had requested a direct ticket. I have also had instances where I have been made aware of a cheaper split than the one I...

I think it should also be bourne in mind that split ticketers are also willing to accept a slower journey by taking a stopper that calls at the relevant station rather than a faster train.

You see the odd TPE sat there at weekend evenings and have even seen an XC train on one occasion. What is interesting is that a substantial amount of land lies vacant the other side of the track, giving the station another two potential through platforms should the need ever arise.

I like this suggestion, would make writing a complaint much more fun.

They could call it Not Cross With CrossCountry.

In response to Rich, I see your point regarding the metrolink. However, Old Trafford (albeit a much bigger stadium) is effectively served by two Metrolink lines as well as a rail halt. The benefit of restoring the curve, which has already been raised would be to route traffic from Piccadilly...

I would imagine it is still sound structurally as there are a few business using the arches underneath. If you follow the route using google maps it seems the route of the old loop it seems to be clear of development all the way to the old site of Miles Platting station. It would also run close...

I've used the 18.09 a couple of times when I used to work at Universal Square, not recommended when you have to run for the train. Also the only station that I've defied the smoking ban too.

A few news stories on the subject:- http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1077335_downing_st_snubs_stockport http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7129447.stm http://menmedia.co.uk/stockportexpress/news/s/1024173_stop_trains_just_passing_through If anyone can...

Ashburys is the smallest I've used. It's quite well served by trains but I've seldom seen passengers there.

There have been a references to it news articles in the Manchester Evening News in the past but apparantly no-one has ever been able to find the Act of Pariliament in the archives to back it up.

You are right, it's a mistake I seem to keep making even though the places are quite some distance apart.

You can still clearly still see plenty of the original spoil if you take walk over top along the old turnpike route.

If they did go ahead, I wonder if they'd make use of the canal again?

I was getting a bus from High Lane into Marple and the route was suggested by Traveline.

I've changed at Ashburys travelling from Marple to Guide Bridge,

I'm fairly sure that similar thinking was in mind when converting old lines into footpath/bridleways - Monyash Trail, Longendale Way & Middlewood Way spring to mind (Although I'm not sure the latter will ever see rails again) - as a way of keeping them free from being developed as well as...

There are two Stockport - Stalybridge tickets in the system for day returns, one for the direct service and one for route via Manchester (£3.30 in this case), I would imagine NRE is not offering the direct route as a return as the direct journey back does not exist. The TVM at Stalybridge used...

Was down for the match on Saturday, cracking backdrop to watch your football and bob-on lunch in The Pride of The Peak beforehand.

I think the point people are trying to make with the airline comparisson is that an airline ticket is for a specific flight, rather then being on a turn-up & go basis. As the stories listed prove, the majority of passengers do know the restriction as they have a got a ready-made (albiet...
