Did I? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I would imagine that Easement 700333 is designed for a passenger travelling from, say, Glossop to Stalybridge, where it would be necessary to travel into Piccadilly and then back out on a TPE service that will travel via Guide Bridge...

Cheers. That's something I'd have to consider! :D To be fair, it would be pretty early on in the day...

Hehe made my day! Thanks a lot. Something I'd never think of.

Ryanair West Coast!

Hi all. I was planning on taking a trip on the Denton Flyer on Friday, and have a quick query: whether a journey from Newton for Hyde to Stalybridge - via Manchester Piccadilly and Stockport - would fall into the 'Any Specified Route' on the ticket. If not, would I be able to choose a...

Yeah. Don't think they work in Automatic Barriers though.

Thanks all for your responses. It's really put me at ease now.

Thanks a lot - really appreciate your response :).

Cheers Watcher for using my photos without permission. Wouldn't have minded if you'd have just credited me.

And to be honest as the 323s age, it makes sense to group them together for maintenance and reliability reasons, rather than Northern having what's really a micro fleet.

Hi all; I'm going to Belgium in a few days, and wondered if anyone on here could give me some advice. I wondered if anyone has done any railway photography in Belgium (or in that part of Europe) over the past 18 months - especially in light of recent events - or anyone who's ever photographed...

Thanks a lot 185143 - nice to see a return to Rail Alphabet. I wonder whether there will be standardised sign design across the north together with TPE. Actually, I haven't seen First's new signs, but I believe they've been installed at Huddersfield.

Does anyone have a picture of the new signs at Hale, or anywhere else for that matter? Thanks.

I think it is infact a render of the same body (at least the cab ends anyway).

I would imagine that is a byproduct of yesterday's events as outlined by BurtonM. Sounds like there's a poorly 350.

A big problem at Piccadilly, especially on Northern platforms, is the lack of people buying a ticket before they get on the train. Unless there's a really pro-active guard on a Glossop train I get on at Newton, where the ticket office is hardly open at weekends and there's no machine, I can go...

Funnily enough, I asked Alex Hynes on Twitter if the 323s would get the new livery before they went down to Brum. His response was quite simple:

The same's happened at Newton for Hyde, but it seems to have been associated with the RSIS improvement scheme. It does seem really pointless. On an unrelated note, at Newton there's a button at the end of the Manchester-bound platform, there's a button above an emergency telephone that the...

Last night I saw a 323 on the Hadfield line minus all its Northern branding (which didn't surprise me), but it had tonnes of patching up with small square vinyl patches all over. It was almost as if it was being prepared for a repaint. I'm sure this isn't the case due to their departure in 2018...
