The problem is that on many trains, if it is provided, is that places to put luggage is out of it's owner's eye sight and many thefts have occured as a result. Also security implications.

Stalybridge to Ashton-under-Lyne and from both of those to Manchester (Victoria).

Correct. The sidings to the right of the main line, going towards Stalybridge, are unused these days I think.

Isn't there some room at Guide Bridge?

Have these units come with normal in Spain, paperwork for everything issues then?

The Manchester Evening News seems to be under the impression that the lines across the Pennines are electrified! It's poor reporting and research at the very least. Probably should be classed as a case of fake news. "The plan for Leeds north west services is to join two of the new three-carriage...

The fault isn't the matter of the destination display on the driving trailer being upside down is it? Check the photo of 12809.

Looks like a classic error on National Rail Enquiries website. Northern services during Christmas and New Year 2018/19 Please find below a day-by-day summary of the services that Northern will be running over the Christmas and New Year Bank Holiday period. Monday 31 December Engineering work is...

Can they muster enough (a few) staff to operate just one unit on the Victoria -Stalybridge shuttle?

Northern Fail website showing 71 short formed services today.

It's a drag to Allerton from Brush. The loco has a path booked back to Leicester from Allerton

The tram takes aprox. one hour to get a passenger from Piccadilly to the Airport. You also have to run the guantlet of the gangs of yobs around Wythenshaw jumping on and off the tram. It is not a direct tram route either, with a change being required at Cornbrook. As a person who visits the area...

Has been a problem for many years, going back to when airline codes were written in pen on a bag labels. Many a bag ended up at Miami International.

If you have a similar journey to the one I had from Blackpool North to Manchester Airport on 22 April, before the new timetable, you won't make your flight. It is worth remembering that from Piccadilly Station to the Airport by Metrolink takes the best part of an hour and the trams are not...

Just a point on Northern MD David Brown having turned up on BBC Breakfast this morning, as BBC Radio 4 have said they invited him on their "Today" program this morning, but were told he was too busy. No mention that he was appearing on what the BBC term, another of their "platforms".

Tim O'Toole has fallen on his sword after massive loss. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/16265405.Transport_boss_quits_after___327million_loss/?ref=mr&lp=9

Should the link be shut and services go back to old routings in order to return services to a workable timetable? This point is also valid on several threads in respect of the chaos in the North, especially around Manchester.

Would things be better if the Ordsall link had never been built? Is it going to prove a white elephant? Was it's impact on services really examined with all pros and cons? It would appear not. There would have been no massive reworking of the timetable, making it unworkable. Is the link really...

With the total shambles, why has nobody taken the decision to scrap the new timetable and reinstate the old one? Then start again on a new timetable with a blank piece of paper.

I'd tend to believe it. How come Virgin have not had to train drivers on Preston to Blackpool before introducing their enhanced service?
