I had one fussy member of staff early July on the Cambrian that being the driver that insisted we use the central doors.

I can't see that going down well with the local schools that was the main reason the line survived closure in the 70s because buses on detour would take to to long & the volume of travelling pupils was high.

Many years ago in BR days there was a Fridays only late afternoon Euston to Blackpool North train which after Preston was booked to call at Kirkham & Wesham + Poulton le Fylde it was crewed by a Wigan springs branch freight driver & could produce any available loco type. This particular evening...

Alloa has a Asda next door Broughty Ferry is just off the shopping area. Penrith has a Home Bargains Aldi Morrisons McDonald's & of course the Agriculture pub.

A interesting week a very good organised log too.

The dalesrail when it runs does duo tickets the full route.

Well if the Crewe to Ruabon is valid either way. What about Wigan to Ruabon anytime day return £21 it is valid via Crewe not sure about Shrewsbury though. A Chester to Shrewsbury day return is £11.60 it is valid via Crewe.

Advance info the Dalesrail is again cancelled Sunday 11/7/21 as i assume the same reason as last week.

That explains things it seems strange that they can find all the staff one day but not another. i did notice there where some cancellations on Friday.

Strange thing i checked the Cumbria coast mid afternoon today & every train seemed to be running between Barrow & Carlisle vv unlike yesterday when nothing ran which seems strange.

The dalesrail was cancelled today 4/7/21 as no avadible driver.

Trying to get advance tickets on some Avanti services at the moment is a trial in itself never mind having them locked by someone for 24 or 72 hours while they decide if the really want them. First come first saved is the way.

We should have the full WCML timetable back by now as in the next few weeks there is going to be mass overcrowding in the hight of the summer as people regain confidence in travelling again.

I've stayed at a few Travelodges most have been fine except the ones in Leamington Spa which is a old building & feels like your in a tent with the outside walls being thin & Dundee with a busy road outside but with ear plugs i slept well A few need a corridor carpet refresh but the bedrooms...

I keep a check on the Dalesrail every Sunday it ran May 16th 23rd & June 6th last week 13th June it was cancelled as you say May 30th it ran only part of the route due to engineering work. I did note that the Dalesbus twitter feed anounced on Saturday that it was not running the following day ie...

I mention the county then the city i live.

I shall see how things work out near the day thanks for the advise.

It seems a regular occurrence on Sundays I tried Preston to Glasgow it was cheaper via York on 23/5 on a morning departure so booked it but now looks useless due to the Scotrail dispute.

Just to point out Bolton (Notlob) is one of the largest towns in England as i understand the reason some of the Transpennine trains don't call was is to keep the commuters off some of the busier journeys to & from Manchester. By the way Lockerbie is not a village but a small town it also serves...

Just while on this thread the Dalesbus £10 rover is valid & can be purchased on the 280 stagecoach service between Preston & Skipton on Sundays & Bank Holidays which is a bargain
