In view of the errors I've found on a number of WTTs (mostly YA04 and GC01), I've sent e-mails to Network Rail (at NRT-WTT@networkrail.co.uk) and to Fabrik (both on 16th June) informing them of some of these errors. To date, I have received no response from either of them. Is there anyone in...

By the looks of it, Fabrik deal with the NRT (a.k.a. the PTT). Do they produce the WTT as well? The change in the NRT as well as the PTT becoming a collection of spreadsheets at the same time can't be a coincidence.

I've done a bit more digging around, and all arrival times at Morpeth and Alnmouth on YA04 are missing as well, both northbound and southbound. However, there are arrival times shown for Newcastle, Berwick-u-Tweed and Durham. I suspect that data checking within NR isn't really up to scratch! I...

Yes, I've attached the YA03 WTT. I don't think I've trodden on NR's toes by doing so, as all WTT's are freely available from the NR web-site.

I stand corrected - I got my A's confused with H's. However, I maintain my assertion that YA03 does not show the arrival times for passenger trains at Northallerton, either northbound or southbound. The same can be said for Thirsk. Have NR simply omitted the "arr" rows for these two stations?

From what I can see, quite a bit. The original WTT could be read easily - the layout was clear. However, the current WTT looks cheap, the coding has changed and some of the detail is missing. As an example, on YH03 (Mon-Fri), there are no arrival times for trains stopping northbound at...

Some of you may have noticed that the Working Timetable (WTT) is now in the form of an array of XL Spreadsheets. At the same time, they've done a few changes, such as changing the letter coding that appears in the middle of a timing and they seem to have omitted showing the arrival time at...

Concentrating on the title of this thread ("SCOTLAND, Edinburgh & Midlothian") I've compiled a list of Edinburgh City Transport and some later Lothian routes that ran in the streets of Edinburgh, dating from mid-1974. It's a substantial document, so I've attached it as a Word Document. I'm also...

Something I've noticed for the first time - on the Stop/Go signal lights for the trams (Horizontal meaning 'stop' and Vertical meaning 'Go') I've noticed a couple of red lights (I presume they are LEDs) that are on the top corners of the display. They seem to change when the main signal changes...

This thread seems to have forgotten Barton. They had a small number of one-offs, such as the NCME bodied Dennis Loline that was only 12' 6" high, and a Bedford VAL with DUAL-DOOR coachwork, Strachan's I think. The Sutherland Transport & Trading Company (STTC) ran bus services between Lairg and...

The original London Transport Uxbridge depot (not the one adjacent to the bus station) was on the east side of Oxford road, NW of Uxbridge, but it was served by no LT red bus services. However, there were plenty of Green, then later London Country, routes.

Happily retired!!!

Whilst the tourist-y parts of the Lake District seem to be well served (for tourists), the western part is dreadful. There used to be a fairly reasonable set of services from Whitehaven down to Millom (I can't comment on services between Millom and Barrow). There is nothing between Thornhill...

There was a recent sub-thread related to the delivery details of the Atlanteans from 1965 to 1981 (which I concur with). It reminded me that there were 2 buses "missing", namely 599 & 600, which I presume would have been JSX-T's. What actually happened to them? I'm trying to cast my mind back...

Nethertown, Braystones & Sellafield stations on the Cumbrian Coast line have NEVER had a bus service. Seascale, Drigg & Ravenglass used to be served by Cumberland Motor Services (routes 9, 12 & 13 in various permutations), until Stagecoach took over. I don't think Bootle & Silecroft have a bus...

I use the 400 twice a day (Colinton Mains to RIE, then the reverse), and I regularly see one of the SJ66 batch going to Gyle Centre near the Fairmilehead crossroads at about 0735. I've seen another Madder & White 400 somewhere else (Colinton Mains Drive?) also only going to Gyle Centre. Don't...

Not strictly correct. The May 27th Bank Holiday is Whit Bank Monday. In the years I've worked in Edinburgh (since 1974), I've never had Whit Bank Monday as a holiday (though the banks do close). We have a local holiday called Victoria Day, which is usually a week or two before Whitsun, so I'm...

Thanks to 221129 & Ainsworth74. I'm re-assured, but when I told my Brother-in-Law, he couldn't understand why it wasn't in the LNER timetable. I also checked the NRT timetable, and it isn't there either. Is there a reason for this, or is it a straight-forward cock-up?

The LNER 1230 train from Kings Cross to Newcastle appears to have an unadvertised extension. My brother-in-law has booked a holiday in London, and gets train tickets as part of the deal. On the train back, he's been booked on the 1230 from KGX on Monday 27th May, which is supposed to arrive in...

I can confirm that the route 7 is using some B8's, as I saw 1088 & 1092 working it today (they must have a helluva job turning corners at the RIE!) Although the 11 terminates at Hyvots Bank, I don't think the B8's turn round there. I've seen 2 B8's with 'Ocean Terminal' on the display heading...
