    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    15 & 16 need building urgently. Since the new timetable our services on the CLC from West Allerton to Lime Street have become so unreliable as to at times become unusable for commuting. Further to this they have gone from being largely 156's to being 142's and 150's and thus more crowded. One of...

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    One thing I find strange is that despite the seeming importance of Yorkshire and the whole North East coast of the UK really neading a direct service to Manchester Airport the first service to go on Northerns strike days is Liverpools direct services to Manchester Airport leaving pretty much...

    Juliano's World Frenzy/Tech's Trip Reports

    Good to here from you Tech. Just keep doing what you want to do. Hope you enjoyed Tallinn and also Finland. Did you visit Helsinki from Tallinn? That's what I did. Also did you visit a pub called Hell Hunt in Tallinn? One of my favourite pubs in the world, despite its name it means the gentle...

    Sadly if what happened is what is being widely speculated (The tail rotor failed) then it is perhaps better it happened when it did and the pilot was bravely able to ensure that the aircraft span in to an empty section of car park rather than the stadium which still will have had a number of...

    Did the Cardiff ever go over to 155's permanently before the service was stopped. I really can't remember despite the 17:15 being my train of choice to get home to West Allerton.

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    How do you plan on diverting all the Liverpool stoppers to Victoria without leaving many CLC route stations with no service plus West Allerton and Mossley Hill?

    Liverpool Lime Street historical services

    As a scouser I think we get a decent service at the mo. Yeah we have lost direct links to the south west and the South Coast but for most of the day we have a half hourly service to Birmingham, a half hourly trans Pennine service plus the East Midlands service and of course a service to London...

    Liverpool Lime St remodelling

    Oh my god, Failing Grayling is just outside the window of the 323 I am sat on on platform 2. Press everywhere. That explains why there is a pair of pacers parked up with a 195 on the new platform. Trying to make the useless belter look like he has achieved something.

    The 142's are bad but I actually dislike the 150's more.
