The latest internal update indicated that TPE were planning on accepting the first Mk.5 set towards the end of February or early March. If that is achieved, and crew training follows, then the plan is for two 68 diagrams to be introduced from the timetable change in May on the...

There is no difference in lighting levels at Hull Paragon after the last train has left each night, except on the very rare occassions when the emergency lighting is tested. There are supervisors, security staff, cleaners and drivers working there through the night. If passengers are having...

It doesn't matter whether there are Hull Trains staff or not, or Northern staff if one of their trains is delayed and misses connections on the Bridlington branch, TPE manage the station and staff there are responsible for organising forward transport through the relevant TOC control, whether...

On platform 2 in the Station Supervisors office, which is open to the public. Hull Trains staff should direct passengers needing onward transport to that office. The station should always be accessible even if the doors to the bus station are closed. If the station has been "locked-up" when...

Hull Paragon station is staffed 24 hours per day, there are staff available to arrange taxis at all times.

I have also had the experience where I have been told to board a specific LNER service forward from Doncaster by Hull Trains staff at Hull, but on checking with the staff on that service before boarding, have been told they had no knowledge of ticket acceptance being granted for their service...

I travelled on the 06.26 ex Hull yesterday morning, it was the 4 car set, and between there and Doncaster there was just myself and one other passenger in the rear coach (A) who boarded at Howden I think it was. We both alighted at Doncaster, no one boarded, and that coach was empty on departure...

There seem to be two parallel themes going on, the usual discussion on trespass surrounding steam tours, and what is going on in the cab. Perhaps generic discussion about trespass could be given its own thread? I have viewed the footage several times and tried to see it as simply "reflections"...

Yes, TPE should be very busy introducing new trains in 2019, although both the other fleets are also subject to delay from the original target dates. The Nova 3's are currently around 9 months late on the original plans.

That latest internal update from TPE seems to imply that May is now the target for introduction of the mk.5's into passenger service, with 2 diagrams. More will follow over the summer.

Whilst its not that rare to see a 91 with the pointy end coupled to the coaches, don't remember ever seeing a DVT the same.

It would seem the CAA disagrees and have classified this as an "exceptional incident" meaning the airlines are not obliged to help.

Indeed, this idiot seems to be sending up his drone every couple of hours and the second busiest airport in the UK is at a standstill. I expect that after the dust has settled there will be quite an inquiry how this could happen. I would suggest it isn't just the drone causing the issue, as with...

Interesting that LNER can find space on their services for potentially hundreds of airline passengers a few days before Christmas. Meanwhile Hull Trains passengers have been 'personae non grata' at busy times.... Hmm....

Indeed, for an OA operator in particular it should be about the "value" of the service to them.

Do you know how many people were waiting to see if the service ran before buying a ticket to travel on it? Can you say how many season ticket holders were planning to travel on it? No, thought not. There is more to cancelling a train than just the absolute numbers of reservations. If people are...

A staggering level of incompetence - that they would use their "short" and proven most unreliable unit on what is one of their busiest services of the week. Unbelievable.

And that's why it shouldn't be Hull Train's decision, the ORR should step in and give HT a choice - either lose paths so that another operator can use them, or come up with a realistic plan to cover for failures until the 802's are in service.... I take it the ex GWR HST plan is "dead"...

Passengers and staff at the coalface (HT and others left to pick up the pieces) are at their wits end with HT. Its time they faced reality and removed certain trains from the system altogether, until they can be sure of operating reliably. I would suggest that won't be until the 802's have...

What a shambles. Typical of TPE though....
