The delay seems to be the lift at the front, as when I last looked there was a gaping hole where the lift is meant to go. One thing that is a bit daft is that rather than providing bins in the new area, they just have a cleaner going round the area permanently. I just pay the ‘Greggs tax’ as...

It’s an excellent result full stop. Compare it to West Yorkshire-Birmingham and it’s fantastic. - - - - - Those complaining about South TP being neglected earlier in the thread: this should allow 6-car 185 operation throughout on that route, which is still a good result and the 185’s are...

There aren’t many scenarios where a member of the public should be walking on or near the line, even in an emergency. The cess would also be a preferable location over the six foot if ‘caught out.’

Presumably 6 years worth of inflation is also built around in?

In terms of the assessment day, I think you need to strike a balance between making a clear contribution and not talking over people. Additionally, remember that the full day is an interview, so ensure you are helpful and keep a positive attitude even if the tasks are a bit daft. From my...

Thanks!

Thank you!

Does anybody know what’s on: 0Z31 1500 Carlisle N.Y. to Doncaster Down Decoy Gbrf https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:13976/2026-09-07/detailed Please?

But, they do have ready access to professional legal advice. This does seem like a fishing expedition, trawling for anyone who has bought a suspect ticket. I'm sure they've sent plenty of correspondence and there will be a steady stream of people who incriminate themselves or don't have a...

Thanks

Does anyone know what this is tomorrow please? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U02249/2026-09-07/detailed 5Z80 0527 Grosmont to Tyseley Steam Trust

Interesting. Presumably this allows Northern to strengthen services elsewhere. If so, it’s a good bit of joined up thinking.

The staff in the vests are now Northern not TPE. The revenue staff will have been more obvious during times when Northern/TPE have offered a reduced service due to TRU, as the staff will have been spread across fewer services. That said, I did notice a higher number of revenue staff than...

Could the equipment have been transferred onto another locomotive at Bury perhaps? Hopefully 212 ends up back in traffic on the KWVR soon; it’s a great loco. 1788589418 It’s currently on Haworth shed, which seems a bit more promising than Oxenhope shed :)

This is very true, one of the slowest lifts I have encountered. To answer the OP's question: for some stations there is a contingency arrangement. For example at Chester, there is a barrow crossing across the end of the platforms which is maintained specifically for instances of lift failure...

That is a bit better than they usually manage to be fair!

How much notice did BLS give of the original tour? Weeks, rather than months as usual? If so, it's hardly a surprising result. It has been pointed out enough times now; that the BLS do not give enough detailed notice of their tours for normal people to be able to attend/book on/finance them.

Probably Windermere too

Meadowhall and MetroCentre I also wouldn't be surprised if Leeds was busier on a Saturday than any other day now.

That's coming along very nicely indeed, great work! :)
