Looking though applications it already looks like Network Rail don't fancy the extra Whitby - Middlesbrough early morning service as signal boxes will have to open earlier. Northern have specified it so it's going to have to go ahead at some point. Interesting to see ARN have said Middlesbrough...

Machines now in place at Allens West so just ourselves left to go.

Penalty fares will be in force on Middlesbrough to Newcastle services that run via Hartlepool along with Darlington to Bishop Auckland line. Northern services (4 a day) that call at Durham & Chester le Street will also be subject to being in the penalty fare zone. No penalty fares for Darlington...

There was around 10 on the platform at 1817 and then at 1906 when Transpennine went sailing by. No one returned at 2000 for the TP that did stop.

Earlier in the week we did have a 4 hour gap at Eaglescliffe in each direction. The missing train seems to have re appeared. Starting to feel for the guys having to work every Saturday to provide some sort of service in the North East and I thank them for it. Know how they feel working every...

There is only me at Eaglescliffe presently. Redcar Central is single manned by the wonderful Lynda and Chester Le Street has a single person in the ticket office but only with a STAR mobile machine and not a fully functioning ticket machine.

Morning. Any forum users used Chester Le Street station since April 1st? How are things going at the station in terms of getting tickets for trains and general customer service?

You would surely think that logical. The guard would still be on board. Sure there is a logical reason to why.

Hi there. The ticket office is open 5 days a week again but only staffed by 1 person and employed by grand central. I still sell all the tickets I use to, I.e,all operators and split tickets but in a gc uniform. Carlisle Support services have another member of staff providing customer service on...

Talks on going about keeping Eaglescliffe open.

Where does the £10 go. Straight to the Ticket office owners TOC. Like we are independent at Eaglescliffe, what commission if any do we get from Change Of Journey fees?

Looking through updated restriction codes for Middlesbrough - York in the new year and the off peak day return (not via Darlington) will not be valid before 0930. Meaning the 0928 from Middlesbrough will not be valid with an Off Peak Day Return 'Not Via Darlington'. That's a lot of split tickets...

The 1st South Bound Grand Central at Eaglescliffe Monday to Fridays (0730 arrival) usually sees 10-15 passengers off every morning. 2-3 depart the station, the others are split evenly between heading to Middlesbrough and Darlington. The 1st Grand Central is the earliest way to get from...

The staff member involved had a fall on board the train at Eaglescliffe. The service in question 1n93 had the usual 2 train guards on board so the train could continue. Ambulance crew turned up with in 10-15 minutes and took staff member away. The steep ramps did not go down well with the...

I expect initially that Grand Central will lose a few passengers from Eaglescliffe has many travel over from the other side of Middlesbrough to use the station for London. Like you say some may come back if Grand Central pricing remains competitive. Be interesting when we get there to see the...

Should be a 2115 from York to Middlesbrough from this December. Going on the documents I've got at Eaglescliffe of the DFT website earlier this year.

There is TP public service that goes via Dinsdale every morning and evening Monday To Fridays. Along with the 2 early morning empty stock movements from York To Middlesbrough and the empty stock movement from Newcastle to Middlesbrough.

The info I got from ORR website is Stopping pattern of Middlesbrough-Thornaby-Northallerton-York-Peterborough-Kings Cross Thornaby to Northallerton I'm sure is via Yarm and not Darlington. Certainly will help spread out the York travellers from Middlesbrough and Thornaby. Shame its not...

The proposed timetable for May 2018 sees what I would call a pretty major timetable change for the Whitby Branch. The early morning Whitby to Middlesbrough services I'm sure is due to commence in December 2019 at the latest. May 2018 Proposals: Monday To Fridays Middlesbrough 0711...

When I left for 2 weeks paternity leave last Tues it was fixed, not sure where we are up to with it at the moment sorry.
