The North London Line sim is now obsolete (quite a few sims are obsolete), & no longer available to download, it's still up on youtube as they've not taken down the video, & just because you can fins videos on youtube doesn't necessarily mean the sim is still available either...

Looking on Wiki, at one time Fulwell was one garage, it was a Tram, then Trolleybus depot, their is now a dividing wall that splits the site in half, that happened when the garage was rebuilt in 86, 87. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulwell_bus_garage

I hate the auto merge feature too, it's annoying when you make an unrelated post, even minutes after you posted previous post & they merge. Oh, fixing bumping threads by the means of "bump", is very easy, by making bumping threads, but not contributing to the discussion, against the forum rules.

GM Wayfarer valid on the direct route Wigan North Western to Warrington Bank Quay, as the GM Wayfarer is valid at both stations, but not the direct route.

I see Roger French tried out the new SL1 & sent in a report in his blog, his journey didn't go well & was so late it got terminated short, as did subsequent buses on the SL1. https://busandtrainuser.com/2023/12/12/the-5-6-mph-superloop-express/

Bus reliability is not helped by traffic lights, particularly in Town & City Centres where there are traffic lights at every junction, & the lights are on red for an age. Sometimes buses end up waiting for 2 or more cycles to get through the lights. Then add in notorious bottlenecks en route...

That's the case with Arriva Merseyside, they interwork half of the routes on the Wirral, particularly the cross river routes, that if a bus is delayed on one route it can lead to bunching with severe delays on another route. 407 West Kirby - Liverpool is one of my local routes, that is...

For me a combination of Traksy & Realtime Trains, add in Railcam which has good diagrams for tracking live trains too.

I'm not surprised, Arriva Merseyside is my main local operator [Birkenhead depot], newest buses are a batch of 4 Wright Streetlights on a 16 plate, rest of the fleet are on a 13 plate or older, reliability is awful too, i was on an Arriva Merseyside bus earlier that was 15 minutes late (413) &...

Cumbria Round Robin, which i've done, i normally start at Lancaster & go via the Coast first & go back via the West Coast main line, last time i did this, i caught the 10.13 from Lancaster via the coast to Carlisle...

I used my Merseytravel issued ENCTS pass when i was in London last summer, i did get one query by a driver as to whether it was valid [it was valid] as they don't work the readers, but was waved on the bus after the driver took a closer look at my pass.

Leyland Olympian, i liked the Eastern Coach Works (ECW) bodied Olympians that were new to Crosville, but my favourite ones were the Northern Counties bodied Olympians new to GM Buses, that were fitted out to GM Buses Express standard, like this one. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tcd481j/16255964148

Here's a BBC report on the incident https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-67596685

Sundays it's from 2030 too, but you have to watch out for potential diversions via the East Coast, so the sleeper will depart Euston earlier, if that's the case.

I remember Stagecoach night buses N1 Liverpool - Chester, also short 86 Liverpool - Allerton Library, the N1 operated a couple of journeys Friday night, Saturday morning & Saturday night, Sunday morning, the night 86 operated hourly 7 days a week, the night 86 was complemented by extra night...

That's shocking, no Arriva buses in Wirral, St Helens & Southport on Boxing Day & New Years Day, in previous years it's been a Sunday service from 8am until 7pm

If we can go further back, in the late 60s there was a 11 week strike at Liverpool Corporation Transport (LCT), which I believe caused quite a bit of hardship to those relying on them. Some companies even hired out taxis and coaches so staff could get to the office or shop. When the strike was...

Arriva North West strike summer last year, that lasted about a month, also Arriva Yorkshire had a strike that lasted about a month too, both cover large areas, that were left without buses

Stagecoach MCSL have released their Christmas & New Year service levels, & big shock is apart from Maghull services 31 to 33 & Football Special, their's no services on New Year's Day, in previous years Stagecoach have operated same routes as Boxing Day but on a reduced frequency, Boxing Day...

Leigh, the nearest station is Newton Le Willows, although the railhead for Leigh is Wigan.
