    What are people from Liverpool called

    Thanks for letting me know. After 44 years living here (since birth) I have never heard anyone refer to themselves as a Liverpolitan or a Whacker. Years ago Scousers may have called each other whack instead of mate. Liverpolitan though! Which part of Liverpool uses that? Perhaps some wool.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    By "we" you mean just over half the people who voted following a campaign still being investigated for irregularities shall we say?

    Football

    I know a few who went, had a good time, game was s**t like. Ha ha. Sometimes when I have been to aways the result has been an aside. Really fancied going to Belgrade.

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    Yeah I get your point but to be honest as a South Liverpool resident getting to Manchester Airport wasn't that great a burden anyway. I really am delighted that people in Scarborough and Buxton can get to Manchester more easily but when it comes to commuters surely Merseyside provides more, also...

    TRIVIA/OPINION - Which is the dullest stretch of railway in the British Isles?

    I'm not a fan of flat of flat landscapes or dense Forrest. However, I loved the train from Kraków to Katowice in the middle of winter. Flat, lots of trees but real deep snow and very atmospheric with a lot of industrial sites.

    Films you've seen/film discussion

    Not a band I am really in to, death metal fan, but have heard it is a good film.

    Bit disappointed with our game against Red Star Belgrade. Ah well, still would have loved to have gone.

    Liverpudlian mate. Ha ha.

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    It isn't just a few minutes added for people travelling from Liverpool to Manchester Airport. It has been a complete disaster for everything along the CLC and Liverpools connection to Manchester Airport becoming one of the first things to get axed when things go wrong, which they often do.

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    Mate West Allerton station is at the end of my road and has been for the last 35 years and I can assure you that although it has always been difficult at peak periods for some time it is now hopelessly unreliable since the May timetable change. I only use it for social meet ups as does my...

    Trains cancelled at short notice from Liverpool Lime Street this evening (04/11)

    Hope I didn't give the impression I was knocking the staff, especially the front line men and women amongst whom I have friends. They have my utmost sympathy. They go to work with both hands tied behind their back. A guy I chat to in one of my local stations hadn't been told what to expect on...

    Liverpool Lime St remodelling

    6 doesn't go through the arch, 7 & 8 do. 6 still has a load of repeaters though.

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    The CLC route which is the one I normally use is an absolute disaster at the minute. From what I can tell the TPE services using the Ordsall Cord aren't currently a blinding success either. Obviously I will focus on what effects me the most and that is the CLC Northern service being almost...

    Journey spoilt by drunk people behaving badly including bad language

    You can always just punch them in the face like the OP suggests.

    Pretty sure he was Network Rail. I was fine with him, it really wasn't his fault. But surprised at his less than helpful response.

    You want to take this outside? *roles up sleaves* Ha ha. Sorry mate. I am a physical coward.

    Pretty much what I said, tell the OP. Ha ha.

    Trains cancelled at short notice from Liverpool Lime Street this evening (04/11)

    Absolute disgrace. Northern started cancelling trains at short notice. The boards said rail replacement buses were outside. Two buses were outside, one driver was saying he wasn't going to West Allerton. I saw other people getting on the other bus that I recognised. I asked the driver if he was...

    Journey spoilt by drunk people behaving badly including bad language

    Sorry but I totally disagree with the OP. If you think violence is an acceptable response to harsh language then the person who wants to resort to violence has the problem. Grow up and grow a pair. Sticks and stones etc. Would you rather your kid got swore at or got shot?

    TRIVIA/OPINION - Which is the dullest stretch of railway in the British Isles?

    I find the ECML extremely dull for the most part. Also most of the Merseyrail Northern Line from Hunts Cross to Southport. Rather off subject but nothing will ever compare to a 48 hour coach journey from Santa Cruz De La Sierra in Bolivia to Buenos Aires in Argentina. After the first hour of "Oh...
