Just tried WAVERTREE TECHPK [WAV] - LIVERPOOL L ST [LIV] off peak day return for January - £1.80 now and just a £2.50 anytime return showing for Jan?

Linky All seems very odd.

Now 2017 at the earliest. The article also states they want three more units between now and then.

That is what they think anyway. They have decided to ONLY sell standard day singles (no returns whatsoever) if you arrive at Lime Street without a ticket, even if it is the first available opportunity to purchase a ticket. Some very hot and pi**ed off staff there yesterday and today because...

Do carriages nine and ten (where the sets can split) have any form of shunting controls at ends where they meet, for example, where a toilet could be? I have never thought to look at where the sets split - and having 25 seats as opposed to the 39 of other first class carriages seems a...

Couple of questions, has it ever been *confirmed* what class the coaches will be? Ie 2 x standard or one standard and one first? What changes in regulations have we seen in the last ten years (since they were designed and built)? What differences are the new build Pendolinos (and the extra...

I have a very vague memory of the Class 142s when they were new (ish) as I wasn't in an area where they were to be seen frequently. Is it my imagination, or did they have a three X 7 segment display on the cab rear wall at one end (or both) by the front/rear doors. If I didn't dream it...

Can anyone confirm that the following diagram is correct for the TPE 170s regarding coach C near the cab - the two bays of four seats but without a table?

On phone, not got access to manual to check. Sheffield - Wavertree via Liverpool LS is valid isn't it - Wavertree is in Liverpool group?

Situation: Someone has a (cheap) advance ticket booked and now I have decided to go too and am going to book a ticket, the quota of tickets at £10 has gone, they are now on the next tier which is £14 or so. Assuming the aisle seat is still available (the already booked one is a window...

I noticed my off peak £1.60 ticket was £1.80 today on Northern. Is it only regulated fares that go up in January and the TOCs decide when then unregulated ones go up, and they have decided to do it differently this year?

Anyone heard anything from him? He hasn't visited for over a month and didn't say he was going away or anything as far as I know? Always enjoyed his posts.

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/9110/unknownu.jpg Seen here for shunting in the depot, but there is nothing physically to stop it running like that.

This is something I haven't seen before. On the cab door window there is a sticker with a picture of a phone with a line through it and the text "Mobile Phones Prohibited" underneath. I can see the logic behind it (being the entrance to the cab) but it won't be long before dumb passengers start...

Does anyone have any contact details of people who will get things done? I don't have much faith in customer services (in almost any organisation) if the complaint isn't the same as 99% of the others ie my train was late 15 mins it isnt good enough blah blah. Situation is as follows: On a...

Anyone got any details? Google doesn't turn up much other than % capacity increases. What is both the smallest possible headway and the smallest real world headway, along with what will be used day to day in the peaks?

Just had the following experience and it got me thinking. I'm not going to name the service. On leaving the terminus station (which has a manned barrier with staff who are apparently blind, you can show them anything from a ticket to a condom to get through), the guard started checking (and...

From Liverpool Lime Street Virgin: 0748 (service train) 0758 (stop Runcorn Only) 0848 (service train) 0859 (stop Runcorn Only) 0948 (service train) 0959 (stop Runcorn Only) Now, the 0959 has the same stopping pattern but takes 20 minutes longer than the others. What is the 90+stock...
