Bamber Bridge springs to mind.

It's as disingenuous as comparing a rock bottom Ryanair fare to an Anytime ticket bought on the day. *Some* train fares in this country are simply too expensive. The end.

I know there's one with no accessible access to one platform so you need to one stop in the other direction and change, but I can't remember which one exactly - somewhere in Southeastern land maybe.

There definitely needs to be a halfway house between letting them off scot free and shouting "CRIMINAL OFFENCE, PROSECUTION!". Maybe charged the full single, refundable on proof within X days that the passenger had purchased the correct ticket.

“She’s a PhD in I told you so, you’ve a knighthood in I’m not listening”, excellent line! EDIT: It’s simply “Don’t Marry Her”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Marry_Her

Evidently not if it's rejecting perfectly valid tickets (barriers always work fine doing the return journey) :lol:

Buckshaw Parkway, but yes the same ticket type.

Hi All I regularly commute in Manchester from the Bolton direction, and while the closest station to my office is Salford Crescent (so I usually alight there in the morning and walk), I buy my ticket through to Manchester as firstly it’s the same price, and secondly it gives me the flexibility...

No longer a superpower, no.

In my experience the text messages came through at the same time the platform was announced, or so near to it that it didn’t make any kind of difference.

Oooo so *that’s* why the Blackpool - Airport routinely has to wait outside Salford Crescent.

Truly pathetic company.

This sign is still up on the bridges at Salford Quays: Because famously, respiratory viruses always keep to the walking direction, and never under any circumstances deviate, especially outdoors.

A perfectly reasonable view IMO.

221 pre-refurb, 390 post-refurb. That said, I don't actually like either.

I remember this one well, it used P1 at Manchester Oxford Road, seem to remember it being a 156+153.

Just because things were terrible once, doesn't mean they should be terrible again :lol: 331s to 323s is a significant downgrade, I'd probably start driving to work again.

Urgh, not 3+2 seating on Manchester to Blackpool <(

Don't Metro fund the fourth car on the 333s, or at least cover those routes being 4-car?

Absolutely ridiculous decision if that’s genuinely the plan, it’s a 6 car route all day long. Waste of money extending the platforms at Adlington and Blackrod if so.
