They were until very recently, but were restored on 30th August (half surprised they even restored them at all to be honest, as I don't believe they're tendered routes either)

Over in Staffordshire, most routes have been restored to pre-covid frequencies, but others are still far below that, or still not running at all. What I've outlined below hopefully gives a snapshot of how we aren't yet back to where we were in terms of frequencies. The Arriva 1 Cannock -...

No problem at all

No - there shouldn't be any problems as right now only a 'counted place' system is in operation, and if you are booked on a specific train, you have a counted place. Also, on the route you are using, almost all trains are doubled-up voyagers, so there is plenty of extra capacity for social...

Open Railway Map (https://www.openrailwaymap.org/) confirms what the OP noted from looking at Ordnance Survey - note it also shows (and google earth looks to back up) that from Brownhills to the outskirts of Walsall is the 'McClean Way'. As for rail traffic to Brownhills, an old article from a...

Interesting - thanks for that insight. Hopefully patronage will climb back up to that level post-COVID

I don't know the route particularly well, but I did use it Cambridge-St Neots earlier this week, and it was relatively busy by social distancing standards (the one into Cambridge in the other direction looked very busy - this was the morning). If by the new train service, you mean East West...

Just to add to this now, Stagecoach have confirmed the coaches will be returning BUT only on the section between Oxford-Bedford (still the X5). It will be split at Bedford from 30th August and the eastern section operated by double deckers - this appears to be a permanent change as the new 905...

Another sporadic addition, but the following East are also aqua green / busway green (but without busway or Stagecoach branding applied): 15197, 15199, 15219, 15293, 21224-7, 21231. As I say, these are just ones I observed, so there are probably more from the same fleet, but (obviously up to...

Great idea to keep track of the changes. Also 24143 for South West (and maybe others too, I'm not sure), but I saw that one in the new 'Local' livery in July.

No problem. For most of lockdown the Highlander operated just to Inverness, and it has only (relatively) recently restarted to Fort William. Aberdeen services looked to be cancelled up to the 31st of August anyway (and it may be extended further, from on here, with the planned reopening, it...

I don't believe that the Caledonian has been operating at all to Aberdeen during COVID-19, so it shouldn't be impacted.

I agree too - such nice maps and a lot nicer than the standard National Rail design. The latest one (I think) is 2015 - http://www.projectmapping.co.uk/Reviews/Resources/NR_UK_Map_Dec14%202015.pdf - after which, it doesn't appear any more have been made.

That’s great, thanks - relieved to find that there are no 4-cars!

Hello everyone, Would someone be able to help me what is on these two schedules today? 1O12 0927 Manchester Piccadilly to Bournemouth 1M50 1415 Reading to Manchester Piccadilly Thank you in advance

I'm surprised Carshalton Beeches step-free access is on the list. Even stretching the meaning of "reversing Beeching", it is neither a line restoration, nor a modification to infrastructure that would allow an enhanced service on the West Croydon - Sutton route. Even if it does have a good case...

Thank you!

Would it be ok to find out what these were formed of yesterday? Many thanks 1A55 1647 Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/S12064/2020-06-11/detailed 1U41 1546 London Euston to Crewe - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C14283/2020-06-11/detailed
