    The 323 worked 09:16 Crewe-Liverpool, 11:00 Liverpool-Warrington BQ, 12:12 Warrington BQ-Liverpool and 13:28 Liverpool-Crewe etc, all booked for a 323 anyway on a Saturday.

    Stand behind the yellow line at Huddersfield

    I think people forget the pressure that rail staff are under from those higher above, regarding passenger accidents, especially those involving the PTI (platform/train interface). God forbid, if something had happened when you had gone over the yellow line and it had gone unchallenged by staff...

    Discussion of moving people taken ill on trains

    Procedure I have dealt with and deal with is the following: Traincrew report ill passenger on the train, ascertain the condition of the casualty, ask station staff to assist (if available) and see if they can be moved off the train into the care of the station staff. Train gets on the move...

    Discussion of moving people taken ill on trains

    Hmmm, if you are advised by the ambulance service, when phoning 999, to not move an ill passenger, you don’t move them, simple as that. Unfortunately, the stock response when phoning 999, seems to be not to move the person, therefore stopping the job.

    GWR Shortage of Traincrew Weekend and During Week

    As I’ve said many a time, committed Sundays outside the working week are the way to go, it works for me (mostly) as there are grabbers who will work a Sunday that I cannot work and similarly, I’m hungry enough for the overtime that I will work Sunday’s that others don’t want. Don’t get me wrong...

    Northern timetable plan for May 2018

    It’s all the same crew, however the Chester-Helsby-Ellesmere Port-Man Vic job is still a Lime Street job but STP’d during the blockade, the crew are taxied to Chester first job of the evening for the crew. The stock for 5F14 should come off 16:41 Manchester Piccadilly-Chester (2D53). However...

    Trivia: PIS and signage fails

    Platform 5 at Stalybridge is out of use until further notice, so no point replacing that screen (yet)

    Manchester Piccadilly platform routing

    Looks like 17:59 Huddersfield was delayed awaiting traincrew, which may not have been known about, at the time. And using platform 4 you can’t crossover onto the Up Electric without blocking the Down Electric first, therefore delaying other services.

    Does NR Enquiries Think Passengers Are Idiots?

    It’s worth mentioning that these Tyrell/JourneyCheck messages don’t just go to TOC websites, NRE for example. They can also be setup to go to local media outlets, radio stations, newspapers, so simple, plain, non-jargon language is essential. Any information for eg: a track circuit failure...

    Reversing the New Timetables

    No, it skipped stations due to late running to ensure as close to a right time departure for its next work and avoid further congestion. Where were you actually travelling to, out of interest? As there was a service that ran non-stop Leeds-Huddersfield missing calls at Dewsbury/Morley/Batley...

    Leeds to Manchester on Saturday night.

    It doesn’t; it’s retimed to arrive at 01:00 and reverses at Huddersfield and diverted via the Calder Valley, so doesn’t serve Huddersfield-Stalybridge-Man Picc.
