On 20th May I am travelling Southport to London Euston via Wigan North Western. I am returning on 21st May and the ticket has a restriction code of 2C and states I can return via any reasonable route. Code 2C means I have to catch a train after 7PM, but can I travel bacK Euston to Liverpool Lime...

When they extended platforms 2 & 3 at Southport , they blocked off access at the bottom of those two platforms while they excavated to extend the platforms. My safety concern was to access the Merseyrail platforms 1, 2 & 3 was through a short but narrow corrider. However it`s all been done now.

As a regular Merseyrail user I can confirm that there are no TVM`s at Bootle New Strand. There is an *allegedly* manned ticket office open from start to the close of service.

Thats a smashing result for you !

Work won`t be bothered about you losing the ticket as your still paying them back from your wages. What you can`t do though is ask for another season ticket loan until your current loan expires. There is nothing to stop you asking Merseytravel for a second replacement all they can do is say no...

oops - your right that should be in there

Civil Servant here In the two departments I have worked in my HR Guidance said I have to notify my manager if 1) I am arrested 2) If I receive a Fixed Penalty Notice 3) If I am convicted in Court Failure to do so leads me open to being dismissed for Gross Misconduct.

I`m not involved in the Railway industry at all, I am a life time Civil Servant who last year , after 35 years in HMRC at the same grade took a job on promotion in the Home Office to do something completely different and a lot more challenging. I had exactly the same thoughts as you, but now 3...

@dumbgirl If you are a Civil Servant or applying to be a Civil Servant and your job role requires Developed Vetting it will say so on the advert. As others have said I would declare everything because then you are being honest, if your not honest it could cost you the opportunity for not being...

I tweeted Northern this morning to ask when the tokens would be available - their response and I quote "We are looking into this for you and will advise you as soon as possible Thank You". I will update when I get a reply.

Thank you for the very helpful replies !

Me and my dad are travelling between Krakow and Przemysl later this year. What trains are used on the service ? Is it worth paying for First Class ? Thanks

I commute (Southport to Moorfields and back) twice a week for work and I get the £6 ticket (on the Metro card) so if the trains get cancelled I can hop on the X2/47/300 bus and still get home. To me its worth paying the extra 5p a day for the convenience.

I went to Prenton Park this afternoon to see Tranmere v Wrexahm. Wrexham won 1-0 and it wasnt a great game but it was good to meet up with an old friend. Crowd was approx 10500 and Wrexham brought approx 2000.00 (and were very noisy !).

I lived here 1967-1970 when my dad (and family) was stationed here. He serviced Shackleton ASW aircraft that were based here.

If its a nice day you could consider a day trip to Southport by train - its 43 minutes each way by train. Or you could get the train to Chester and visit there - its a lovely historic place. I hope you both enjoy your trip !

Is there a General Election soon ? What happens if the Tories lose their Red Wall seats - does this mean the proposed plan will die ?
