Yes, you're right: was getting mixed up with something else. Link 1 is "no booking on before 5 a.m, and no night turns". Which of course does mean the other links get a slightly higher proportion of such work as a result.

If that's the Greggs the other side of the car park, then that could have been the same spotty oik that told me recently they had no sausages left for the requested sausage baguette, only to have a more senior member of staff chime in and say "yes we do, there's loads left". Seems like he...

An example might be, if I were a member of platform staff and was recorded telling someone that: "You are not allowed to trespass on the railway." which got edited for YouTube by removal of the word "not" to capture me supposedly saying: "You are allowed to trespass on the railway." If that was...

Very busy in all directions today in the Midlands and North West.

Are you deliberately obtuse or just a troll? Your previous post was comprehensively debunked and yet you made no response or reply, simply coming back now to post more waffle. For reference, however:

I'll post what I said over a year ago when this was being discussed re. the Bromsgrove derailment: "I believe the driver of the 66 was indeed dismissed initially but then reinstated on appeal (and given a final warning about phone use). Given the rather unprecedented and unique circumstances of...

The situation there is made a little worse also by having 15 of the depot's drivers in a special "most senior" link (not by age but by length of service with the company) and that link only has jobs that start after 5 a.m and finish before 10 p.m. So of course that does leave more extreme work...

Depends on the definition of "long trek" but Chester and Stafford both require a bit of a detour to access the non-entrance side.

With the way Nantwich's population has increased over recent years I would think it should merit an hourly longer-distance service, but I don't know the actual data so that could be wrong. I assume you meant Calveley station for serving Wardle? I could certainly imagine a case for Beeston and...

I must have imagined the news article that triggered this thread, then.

Yes, exactly. Hence this thread, because here we don't just have "enough" but far too much audible information.

It may well do but in other countries it doesn't generate a "torrent of spam" of announcements, which is the chief issue here.

Some of the tales of the Glasgow and Southwestern sounded quite fantastical and yet had a certain air of truth as well. One of the most famous being the runaway through Pinwherry, which even made it to song, written by Dave Goulder on the "Green all the Way" LP. "All those wagons we left at the...

I sent this link to an acquaintance the other day after a discussion about face coverings... Don't think he saw the funny side. https://www.wahm.com/articles/how-to-wean-your-child-off-the-security-blanket-and-other-comfort-objects.html

Other passengers. :E More seriously: rattly bits, even on newer trains.

Found this interesting snippet from a NZ media outlet: Also from a NZ government web page: https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-health-advice-public/assessment-and-testing-covid-19/rapid-antigen-testing It seems that the use of RAT...

As the BBC link doesn't quite work as it should, here is the direct one: https://backontrack.nationalrail.co.uk/commuter/#/landing

Have a feeling that service used to be a 10-coach (2x) Voyager, might be why?

Seems little point discussing anything sensible with someone who constantly resorts to such childish insults.
