    Tied to particular train on advances - even though Northern don't do reservations

    As an aside, most Bradford to Manchester Victoria trains offer an advance single ticket, valid for a particular train. No seat reservation is offered. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

    S&C closed North of Kirkby Stephen

    I presume not, as it's a northern railways product. I was wondering if it was even valid on the bus to Penrith as the latter is not even on the line. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Looking at the timetable, I would guess passengers for...

    Rochdale station platform coming back into use

    There's no TSR to run through to Rochdale but the TOC may choose to put in extra stops above the franchise commitment on any service. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

    Bay platform at Rochdale.

    I thought this thread would be about the new bay but the gentleman only mentioned the old bay, so assumed that was the only one at the time of traveling Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

    Bay platform at Rochdale.

    The bay platform was used for the Rochdale to Manchester via Oldham route, but of course only trains starting there used it as most trains ran through from Manchester v. Moston. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk --- old post above --- --- new post below --- There is a plan to put in a new...

    The end of RAIL MAGAZINE?

    I know it's a bit off track, to do with cycling, but many years ago a new magazine New Cyclist had me interested to take out a subscription. However one year on it morphed into more of a shopping catalogue, this accessory is better etc. So stopped buying. I'm not sure which mag I prefer. Can't...

    Once a day Fife to Glasgow train, is it a Parliamentary train?

    What's the current position on the Castleford - Selby/York line? Passenger services haven't officially used the route for years, but there are daily transpennine trains passing through, plus is used as a diversionary route. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

    Very-trivial trivia item: Stations on a Monopoly board

    There was a Yorks edition with only two stations, Doncaster and Halifax, plus LBIA and Humber Bridge (guess it dates from when new). Btw the Leeds edition has Crossgates, Horsforth and New Pudsey. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk
