I'm not a fan of confusion either. I'm sure we'll get an answer imminently...

2P90 1745 Blackburn to Preston does not stop at the intermediate stations. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L09610/2021-05-24/detailed#allox_id=0

I've only had good experiences with TPE when asking to buy on board. Virgin/Avanti have been fine too. I always buy a priv, mostly because of getting in/out at Euston and as you say £20 is nothing really, but have been moved to the front to 'make space in std' a couple of times. For me it's...

I think you've misinterpreted the recent relaxations. We're still being asked to minimise travel where possible and going train bashing is clearly not allowed.

I take it this journey is either after the lockdown has been lifted as a 'class 43 tour' or imminent, but for essential reasons that just happen to coincide with lots of rides on HSTs?

If MPs are getting 4.1% why shouldn't rail staff who have actually put themselves at risk over the last year get something? It's not like the fact that the government has spent billions fighting this pandemic and lost huge amounts of tax revenue has stopped the MPs getting their annual inflation...

Good luck fitting a six car train into the bays at Preston!

Yeah I got that bit thanks. The point was why do they not just contact Northen now and ask what happens if...? It would be more productive than asking us!

Am I missing something or could the OP not just contact Northern in advance to clarify as the journey is not until 'some point in the future'?

I can see a lot of hassle for the sake of getting back £5.25! This whole episode seems so easily avoidable by not messing about getting indirect trains late at night for the sake of 'new haulage'!

Clitheroe - Rochdales are restricted to three carraiges between Blackburn and Clitheroe and in all honesty, for the moment at least, don't need more than three.

It's self dispatch from Blackpool North (for Northen anyway).

I'd suggest reading the sticky which shares the same title as your thread!

I suggest the op does some independent research and pulls their finger out if they want to have any chance of completing the process of becoming a train driver!

Hmmm must have missed that. Pretty sure if you look at the document with our reciprocal travel agreement LNER aren't on there. 1598213504 There's no rush. You'll get it in time for when you need it on duty.

No LNER. You have to use Priv.

Yeah Grand Central in addition to the two I mentioned. There is an updated internal document knocking about somewhere so I'm sure you'll get to look at that at some point.

Are you sure we get free travel on LNER? I thought we didn't but we get Merseyrail and Tyne and Wear Metro?

99.99% sure Vic don't sign Blackburn to Preston or Farrington curve but happy to be corrected.

The Crossing at Hest Bank.
