Couldnt help but noticed some Facebook outrage this week regarding the new Norwegian flights from Edinburgh/Belfast (and some Irish cities) to Boston and New York starting from this summer...except the flights arent actually to New York and Boston but to ones miles away. In the instance of...

Fair enough. Just make sure you double check which service doesnt stop at Garsdale, hard to check at the moment with the revised timetable but I think northbound the one leaving Leeds just before 10am doesnt stop there, and on the way back its the one around 3pm. If you get on that one, you...

Is there anything stopping the service also calling at Woodlesford or would it get in the way of a Leeds-Sheffield fast service?

At a guess, it will be withdrawn the moment the line reopens.

Dont Trainsplit add a fee on? The tickets are standard Anytime ones, you can just buy them from Chesterfield station when you travel. Just ask for an Anytime return to Garsdale and then an Anytime Return from Garsdale to Carlisle. Just be careful that you arent travelling on the only train of...

As for when to travel, well the above tickets have no restrictions or ties to any specific train via Settle/Appleby so just punch in your times on NRE, making sure you put in Settle or Appleby as a "via" and see what suits you. Change will be in Leeds no doubt from platform 17 all the way over...

Try putting in via Settle in the extra options and see if it does then. Chesterfield to Appleby Anytime Return - £47.90 Appleby to Carlisle Anytime Return - £10.10 These are the Anytime tickets so you are not tied to any specific train. The split I suggest above is £58, where is the £56...

How slow do you walk?!?! :twisted:

Hmm. One of his friends claiming they paid £25.70 two weeks ago. Will need to get more info I think but I reckon hes getting mixed up between the £25.20 Cas-Man V ticket and the £29.70 one mentioned above. EDIT - turns out his friend is getting mixed up between the two so chances are my cousin...

Im wondering if he looked up the price of a Castleton-Man Vic ticket at the station and got confused. How much are those ones on a weekly basis??

Dunno, he said it wasn't more than a fiver. If I get more info I shall post it.

Just been speaking to my cousin on Facebook. He has just bought a 7 day season from Castleton to Ashton from the ticket office at Manchester Victoria (he had a ticket from Castleton to Man Vic anyway, dunno why but he wasnt travelling without a valid ticket) and is claiming he has been...

I once got round this by buying GNER "gift vouchers" to buy a ticket, I then gave that code to the person miles away who needed to collect the tickets and he put his bankcard in and then the code and the tickets are dispensed. Does this method still exist with the current EC incumbent?

I suppose it may be possible that they will keep the existing bit open and then trains will have 2 routes: the existing one, and the one you describe. Only trains stopping at the station would use the one you describe (surely no more than one an hour, one of the Leeds-London services?), with...

No time to talk, I need to nip down to Peterborough on the E-15 Inverness-Algeciras road :roll:

Dear lord.

Well no services except long distance VTEC/Grand Central/Hull Trains ones run over the Doncaster/Retford section of the ECML as far as I know, they want those to start calling there? Hmm, cant see it meself, especially with VTEC. Might be scope for perhaps one of the stoppers from the north of...

Because its just a ridiculous thing to say. If someone was going from Milton Keynes to Towcester, do you really think they would be saying "I'm going to be driving along the A5 London to Holyhead road to get there"? :D

Ah I see. In which case I am the one who needs to apologise :oops: Still, calling it the Liverpool-York road is rather silly.

An utterly pointless station unless the current service level of five (?) services a day on the line, with none on Sundays, is improved.
