As someone who suffers badly from arthritis and other rail travellers with disabilities, I find your above statement to be highly offensive HSTEd. I look for direct services for the reason of not having to change trains, painfully lugging baggage about. You would need to have sufficient...

There are TWO bars at Piccadilly already. The Hour Glass and The Mayfield.

.....and the Stalybridge bays.

Never mind what ticket. Make sure you advise your life insurance company that you are about to do this. Such a hazardous persuit could be against policy conditions.

What makes you thing that everything will carry on as it is now, or present plans will continue if Scotland becomes a seperate country? It is another imponderable that Mr Salmond and his chums have not thought through. Has anyone seen a plan for the railways if independence occcurs?

All your "what might happen" or wish lists are based on Scotland staying part of the Union. If Scotland were to become independent things could change dramatically regarding funding and what units are still available to FSR. Perhaps all the 142/3 units, with little/no residual values may end up...

As with all yellow boxes, if the markings are worn and not up to the standard specified in the relevant Act, offences are unenforceable and if penalties are wrongly issued as a result, they themselves are illegal.

Some ejit on the Manchester Skyscraper City site thinks it were done in France!:roll: You can't blame the French for everything, although many would like to. It's clearly in German.

The first service by a new type of unit, departing late, is not good,it is poor,anything but good. Every effort should have been made to ensure it ran on time. An unwanted standard has now been set.

They included a buffet car as one coach and inividual arm chair style seats in the 1st saloon behind each driving cab. It was possible on the 08.45 from Ashton Charlestown to buy a coffee and drink it by arrival in Manchester. Excellent for those starting work at 09.30 or working at the...

Metrolink are to run double trams on all services on the Ashton line during the closure.

I would suggest that those complaining about the state of buses today have a look at this website, in respect of low carbon buses part-funded through the green bus scheme: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/details-of-the-green-bus-fund Bus companies have received grants for 990 new...

To repeat what I have said on other threads on 142s........As an expat and now a visitor to the UK, I find the use of these units, in the condition they are in, with their minature seats, poor ride, simply a put off from using Northern Rail services, in case one turns up. The 101s were in better...

All very well, but how about addressing the matter of lack of cleanliness and poor internal presentation.

One of the main bones of contention is in the presentation of stock. No matter what time of day, South Eastern and Southern's stock is clean and rubbish has been removed from previous journeys. Regretably, that is not the case on Northern Rail. Interiors are dirty and smell and rubbish is not...

Having visited the UK in the last fortnight and initially having travelled on the Gatwick Express and then Southern's services out to Kent from both London Victoria and St Pancras on modern, clean, smart not over crowded stock, the standard, lack of cleanliness, age and overcrowding on Northern...

The 1000 tonne crane is scheduled to return, to complete the removal of the old roof.

The rail companies would soon find an alternative to bus replacements, if they were forced to make cash refunds, to reflect that change and comparative cost in mode of transport to every passenger trans shipped. Bus replacement has become too easy an option.

The other problem for the Buffet Bar is that it is now run by the same people who operate the West Riding at Dewsbury Station and The Sportsman with their micro brewery in, just a few minutes walk from Huddersfield Station. So the same management group make the decisions at two pubs on the Trail...
