It’s completely true. For around 25 years it just had weekend services then suddenly the 08:50 ex-Lwt/16:58 ex-Nrw both SX were added 2-3 years ago much to staff amusement. It’s good to see they can also have a weekday at the seaside when on leave too.

As I said earlier, a senior GA manager lives close by ;)

That rebuild and roof they did for the Ryder Cup is in an awful state. Leaks in so many places. As you say, depressing.

Not so much in the way of cashing up needed these days but yes. Bag packed and ready to run.

Hoping to go that way for a change this Spring/Summer as get Wightlink free and need to tick the Yarmouth Spoon. Shame that ‘Freshwater’ 3Cig not still doing the branch honours.

Especially if you are Kings Cross based staff. I mean, why would you?

Almost a million use Brockenhurst each year so seems crazy they stopped calling. In excess of that if you include the 200k interchanging too.

Cheers.

Been various problems with that but am I correct in thinking the latter is still on the cards?

A senior manager lives but a stones throw from Buckenham Station ;)

It acts as a railhead for quite a large area and annual usage is fast approaching one million. Higher than that if including connecting passengers. That will greatly assist with connections for Bury and Ely/Cambridge/Peterborough should there be issues with the direct route via Thetford from...

I couldn’t agree more. Always pop into The London & North Western. 1768754689 To be fair I passed through a couple of times last week when staying at the excellent Holiday Inn opposite and they seemed friendly enough to me when passing through the ticket gates. The station was spotlessly clean...

Do they? Can’t see anything SX in RTT. I thought they’d stopped during the pandemic when XC had a wobble.

Cheers. I recall them calling at Congleton too.

I suppose those that do assist with route retention purposes. Not all appear to call at Crewe either.

Same with Audley End except on a two daily services.

That makes good sense.

Just sounds like a typical XC attitude to me. Over the top during the pandemic and reluctant to budge ever since. I’ll never understand them.

Yes that Thai looked nice as did the busy Whistle Stop cafe when I spent a night in Whitby last month.
