    First Group Sheffield - London via Retford open access proposal

    None as far as I am aware, any are anywhere near the end of the lease. Given it is due to start in the second half of 2025 it can’t be new builds surely?

    What's to come on the railways in 2024

    Top comment agreed. Early because of Covid, last year was the 15 March and in 1992 there was an early budget, next day an election was called. I think Labour change would change rail policy for sure. Arent some stations due to open in 2024? Top of my head would be White Rose, Leven and Cameron...

    Potential Grand Union stock?

    heard in one of Modern Railways August 2023 edition that it was to be delayed to 2027 due to the rolling stock acquisition issues. They have been considered HSTs as interim fleet according to the September 2023 edition of Modern Railways Page 17. They are basically looking at interim rolling stock

    TPExpress Saltburn

    December 2022. It was always planned that the Redcar service would be extended to Saltburn. I believe Redcar was a temporary end because Saltburn wasn’t quite possible for some reason (i cant remember why)

    GTR passengers numbers

    GTR passengers numbers

    90% is the overall number across the industry So actually they arent wrong, its just that some operators are above the 90% figure (like LNER) and other operates (GTR and GA) are below it. The average is 90% but some particularly where commuting was a big part are 20-30% lower than the 90%...
