    Where is this class 50 in Chester ?

    The 1P31 Sundays was the 14.20 Euston- Blackpool/Carlisle due of Crewe at 16.52. Passing time given at Crewe Steel Works as 16.55, did not get to Warrington till 18.06 so must have gone via Chester but no times given there in public TT. Hope this helps.

    Birmingham Snow Hill Signalling towards the end, March 1972?

    The four-character train descriptions came into use on the WR by June 1960. So would have been in use from the start. They may have used the Tyers train describers to send descriptions to the next boxes though.

    Great British Railways: Station identity and livery unveiling (09/12/25)

    So will I, do we want to see class 800s at York and Reading all in the same colour, class 390s at Crewe all the same 810s on the Midland the same colours. BR in the blue and grey era was pretty dull. We have got used to many colours on the railway back, to mostly just one will get pretty boring.

    Leicester station throughput

    Might be something to do with the signal overlap at the top of platforms 1and 2, with a train signalled out of 2 a train for 1 has to be brought to a stand before getting a yellow into 1.

    Class 222 withdrawal from EMR and future use (non-speculative)

    Lumo and SR should be told they just have to wait until EMR gets all it 810. Why should 4 of the UKs larges cities put up with all this. You would not see this on routs like London to Bristol or S. Wales yet I would bet the population of the E. Midlands is bigger than the other two.
