Looks like "con" is "continued [from previous column]" and "par" is the Welsh equivalent?

That link also runs in early mornings and late evenings so possible on other days too. Buses are also helpful between Bury and Rochdale

Although, in XC's defence, that service was restarted at Edinburgh at 1115 with a different unit, so anyone boarding at Truro would hardly have noticed a difference.

As I understand it the track layout wouldn't allow for both to depart at the same time, so I think it's just that small possibility of an overlap within the station.

I don't think anyone's posted the answer yet, but from your clue it seems we're looking at 1Y91 Barrow-Manchester Airport on Salford Crescent platform 1 passing 5E33 Preston-Newton Heath on the Up Bolton. I guess for the parallel move to work you are looking for 1Y91 to pull in just as 5E33 is...

As you're wondering, I was tracking it while waiting on Piccadilly platform 14 for it to turn round - it sat in platform 13 until about 1545 including having the starting signal set back to red, then went to turn around in a loop near Longsight (not sure of the name). On its way back in it was...

I use them a couple of times a week and remember the issue with doors suddenly closing occurring on my last two journeys at Piccadilly/Oxford Road. Today the inbound service to Manchester that would become my train home (https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y60073/2019/08/29/advanced) also sat...

I've asked for a refund from TPE twice in the last year or two after not travelling owing to cancelled trains. There is now a webform to fill in: https://firstgroup-refunds.fastrailticketing.com/?s=TransPennine+Express (linked from https://www.tpexpress.co.uk/help/refunds). This submits your...

When the engineering works exception does not apply (eg. at weekends), is Alexandra Palace an appropriate routeing point for Enfield Chase? The routeing point calculator is unhelpful on the matter as it can't find any NFM64 fares, but I note that the present day Anytime Day Single for Alexandra...

That Stoke on Trent fare is bizarre - there's no off peak day return there from Clitheroe, and £12.20 is the fare from Adlington (Cheshire) to Stoke - much cheaper than fares from Clitheroe.

For extra amusement/pain, https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/JM seems to be written in three different fonts.

That helps a bit but even with the "not"s, you'd still need to swap some "and"s and "or"s. And the text quoted by Starmill from London Midland's website has no evening restrictions, and is further inconsistent with the electronic restrictions on brfares (eg. in whether you can get the 08:46...

The restriction JM for the off-peak return doesn't seem to make any sense at the moment. I can see the intention to restrict use on peak services (though I don't see the relevance of 09:32), but as written it essentially more or less means "valid at any time" in convoluted logic. The...

JourneyCheck gives the reason for the part-cancellation as "due to train crew being delayed". Perhaps the "problem with the brakes" refers to an issue on an earlier train which delayed the crew?

In both the current and December timetables, the Blackpool North - Manchester Airport calls at Leyland southbound instead of the Blackpool North - Hazel Grove. Presumably this is to give a more even headway as the Hazel Grove service leaves Preston only nine minutes before the Manchester...

There seems to have been a late amendment to the schedule (presumably for heatwave-related reasons) - the service is usually due to arrive at 15:40, but has been amended for that day to give a scheduled arrival of 16:11. The recorded arrival time of 16:21 (Recent Train Times) or 16:22 (Real...

Couple of examples to kick off: St. Annes-on-the-Sea has one scheduled terminating service per week, on Saturday nights, though other trains can be turned around there if delayed. Bolton also has a single terminator on Saturday nights, with one service starting at Bolton on weekday mornings.

There are probably quite a few stations where terminating trains routinely change platforms as ECS before restarting. Some examples in the north-west are Clitheroe, Hazel Grove, Wigan Wallgate and Manchester Piccadilly platforms 13/14 (less often since May). It is also increasingly frequent at...

The walks at Burscough and New Mills are included as fixed links in the data and are returned by journey planners as valid itineraries for the journeys you mention and many others (though may need you to specify via points). Manchester - New Mills Central - New Mills Newtown - Buxton is also a...

Could the eastbound signals at Manchester Oxford Road P3/4 (possibly also 2?) be considered separate blocks? There are mid-platform and platform-end signals around 70m apart; because the lines merge so close to the platform end, trains often have to stop at the mid-platform signal in order for...
