I will.:D

Thank you. I normally travel down from Runcorn so no issues like this occur.

Hi. I am after some advice. I am due to travel to London Euston tomorrow morning on the 0835 from Chester with some family members. I have standard class tickets with seat reservations in coach D. If D is reclassified as First Class as I believe sometimes happens, will I lose my seat reservation?

Helsby Junction is protected by only semaphore signals, fully mechanical. The signal box is located in the station, set on the island platform so for any fans of old technology then it could be a place to visit. I still hear a bell tinging away in the signal box so I assume that some telegraph...

As a child of the 70's I grew up with loco hauled and 1st generation DMU's. Around our way it was Class 24, 25, 40 and 47 in the main, even on stopping services. Our family house backed on to the Helsby to Mouldsworth line so we saw plenty of freight haulage too. I don' mind the modern MU's, I...

I suppose that is OK if you are travelling from a station with toilet facilities. My local station, Helsby, does not have toilet facilities. So I could potentially face over an hour (with my walk to the station) without access to a loo. Fine if I haven't had my breakfast and coffee before...

Have a lovely weekend in Yorkshire and go to the Railfest at the railway museum in York in June.

It's a good idea. Victoria as an inter regional hub for the North with Piccadilly as the national link for long distance travel.

Thank you for the information. Do you have any idea what will be happening to the ATW service from Chester/North Wales? Currently runs to Picc. I am hoping that it will run to Vic in the future.

Does the Northern Hub document not state that trains from the East would go via Piccadilly and trains from the West to Victoria?

I'd take a biro mark on my ticket over a stinking drunk or noisy bunch of chavs on the train any day.

Many thanks. I am now home. Guard on the train explained that we were delayed by a failed train between NLW and Earlestown. 20 min delay. I was on the 1850 from Man Picc to Llandudno. We were held just outside NLW station for 15 min then again for 5 min just after Earlestown.

now moving. 1850 arriva trains wales from man picc

Currently sat at Newton behind a failed train. Queue forming.

Travelled on two Northern 150's today on the Mid Cheshire line. Both clean (inside), both well populated and both on time. Being used to travelling mainly on 175's, I did find them very noisy though. But for the short trip between Mouldsworth and Mamchester they were fine

Hence the exclamation marks! The Halton Curve offers a "cleaner" route into Liverpool from Wales, provides a diversionary route from Liverpool to Crewe via Chester and provides a link to Liverpool Airport. The Bidston line is messy and offer no additional benefits, unlike the Halton Curve...

A "direct" route to Liverpool Airport?

Thank you.

60004 was sat at Warrington BQ station yesterday evening. I couldn't tell if it was hauling coal or stone.

Thanks. I knew the Pendo drags were Saturday only. Do you have any idea what time? Cheers.
