I've booked an advance cross country ticket on the way to the station before now, it appears others did the same thing as not all our reservations were showing, however the guard moved people around based on their reservation tickets even though the seats myself and others in the coach had...
I have booked two advance singles
The outbound is 1450 Virgin to Euston then via Paddington and Slough to central station.
The return takes me from Riverside via Vauxhall then tube to Euston returning on the 2140 to Stoke.
Given that only the Virgin trains have specified seats am I...
I think this is the only train per day that runs through stoke without stopping, apart from WCML diversions through Alsager, however these usually stop at Stoke too. (Giving Stoke additional connections).
Freight traffic will not be travelling fast enough for the straightening of lines at...
Yes the Halton Curve runs once per week in one direction also - but only in summer therefore there's approx 9 months between services at one point in the year
Perhaps they'll put them in places like Teesside airport, Denton and Reddish South?! Unlikely but not implausible as grants tend to be spent quite ridiculously at times! (PTE areas also tend to have rules of their own!)
The site of Etruria is where Stoke on Trent city council proposed HS2 would stop in their bid against Crewe. We may well have seen Etruria reopening on a much grander scale had it been successful.

I'm travelling from Stoke to Leeds on Monday morning around 715/30, normally I'd make this journey off peak and buy two off peak returns, splitting at Manchester. The early journey means I'd have to buy two anytime returns. The trainline is offering a direct ticket Stoke to Leeds as an off peak...
Etruria had already had the track realigned insofar as only certain classes of train had been able to stop. There were originally objections to its closure which led to it staying open longer. First North Western ran a daily morning service to Manchester at around 0727 which was beyond what was...
