You’ve certainly misread the date

There needs to be a bit more flexibility in this regard. Cancelling a service due to a fallen tree on the line just because (hypothetical example) a driver doesn’t sign the 500 metres of track between Wakefield Westgate and Kirkgate is plain daft.

Just don’t get involved. It’s not your case so don’t worry about it. Have you seen those scams on aircraft where people are asked to put items in the aircraft overhead storage compartments which contain illegal or banned items?

Define “not male” ;)

It’s not clear from his post whether he thinks they should be prosecuted or whether he was just enquiring whether any had.

Correct.

I bet you still use paper boarding passes?

Scary how incompetent some of these track workers are.

Thanks for the link, have just ordered two

Who would tell the signalmen? The drivers or their company?

Thanks. Interestingly, the guard thought it probably would be valid but he didn’t really know.

Is a Peterborough to Birmingham (any) day return valid to Birmingham International? Thanks.

Does this mean the end of strikes for the time being and I can rely on the trains running to get me to the airport for my trip in January?

Seems to be the same with traksy - 2K10 currently sat in Spalding station is apparently the 09:17 Halifax to Hull service??

Slightly off-topic, but why does Open Train Times only show journey information for some head codes and not all? And even the ones it does show are often wrong.

Doesn't "throw" in this example mean the distance the lever needs to be moved from one setting to the other, not the length of the cable joining the signal/lever?

After getting no replies back in January, I'll ask again: Just wondered whether any line closures have been scheduled for the installation of the new bridge at Pinchbeck as part of the Spalding bypass construction?

I didn't say the membership numbers were declining, I said their relevance was lessening.

The public are losing sympathy with the rail unions, and teachers for that matter. I've worked in the NHS for over 30 years and have never taken industrial action, although the public are generally still behind us if we choose to.

It's taking time, but as the older staff retire the railway unions are (thankfully) gradually becoming less relevant. Tick, tock.
