Interesting read from the Network Rail Route 20 report It makes an interesting point, creating a line up to Northwich will mean a direct service from Chester to Manchester Airport without the needs of changing at Crewe and catching the Northern service from there. Curiously, however, this...

Due to a failed train at Cheadle Hulme today, our service to Oxford Road from Crewe was diverted via Styal and called at Heald Green for "Set down only" to allow passengers to change for the airport. However, when we arrived at Heald Green, passengers at the platform were able to board the...

Hey guys, Although I have researched this question myself, I'm still a little confused about how this operation works. If anybody has been on a Cl323, they'll know of the sound I' talking about: the sound this train makes when it de/accelerates. I know it's something to do with feeding...
