Definitely not. Just down to route blockades. 1729371406 Exactly that mate.

I know!! Anyone of us in the know would have thought that that is exactly how it’s going to pan out.

The original VHF timetable had it at 07:00 then in a flight of fast trains arriving Euston within 7mins of each other from Manchester, here and Glasgow. There wasn’t much change from then until the pandemic.

I suppose there is good and bad in there. At least the 07:00 ex-Manchester is back on track. 1729362947 It seems like that on so many peak trains into London now and business travel seems to be picking up no end. I try to tell myself we have been bordering a recession and historically these...

On the contrary for me though. Yes I got the most fabulous payslip this week but then only yesterday volunteered to do an additional Sunday tomorrow as well. Unfortunately I don’t work for GWR so can’t assist with trains to Temple meads.

That makes me very happy :-) 1729359910 Interestingly there is a 06:55 preceding it from Piccadilly that goes via Crewe and arrives 10mins later. The Liverpool flyer however now leaves earlier at 06:43 and still only stops at Runcorn but has been decelerated by 9mins. Timed for an 807 by the...

Not many get a free ride anymore. We’ve got some very proactive conductors these days who will hunt out every penny. No doubt we were no angels travelling to/from school.

It’s only 25 minutes. Just think of England and get on with it.

And they are ridiculously popular.

Oh dear. Perhaps they should’ve just paid Keir and be done with it. You only get what you pay for after all in life.

Our MD has been very good at keeping everyone posted in his weekly updates.

I was always under the impression it would follow in the new year.

Surprisingly at my large depot there are only two drivers with declined leave this Sunday. There is a good chance they’ll get their day off anyway once the duty traincrew managers have a shuffle of the pack. The windfall hasn’t had that much of an effect after all.

Last Friday I caught the 09:09 Glasgow Central to Carlisle to connect with the 10:58 to Leeds via the S&C. I could've caught the 09:36 Pendolino as it pulled alongside at 10:49 but wanted to assure the connection and sample a class 397. Should I have caught the latter it would have completed the...

Don't get the bus then, it's even worse :lol:

One historical railway weekend mate. All the best,

Solidarity (& a tactical election vote) paid off in the end.

Looks to be at my TOC mate. Everything and more for what I expected. A happy happy day indeed after the last couple of years.

You say that but I know they will still grab. It’s second nature to them :lol: This weeks Sunday list will be interesting. Wonder if we’ll have lots of leave declined.

This is quite a regular occurrence when late night/early morning.
