Perhaps by bus to Greenbank station. https://bustimes.org/services/48-frodsham-kingsley-hatchmere-northwich

Close Acton Bridge and Hartford, open Weaverham - a new station sited between the two.

Yes, I was thinking in terms of trains from Lime Street turning back at a reinstated Warrington Arpley Station (to serve the shopping area) and going no further. This would serve Widnes well and provide a useful passenger connection to the WCML. And by providing a stopping service on otherwise...

Local services from Warrington to Liverpool would best be provided by reopening the Fiddler's Ferry line to Bank Quay Low Level for passenger traffic. That would not interfere with express services via Warrington Central and provide a very useful connection.

Yes, like the one at Oakland Airport, California. It had not occurred to me that Peel's ripoff profits from airport parking and drop off charges were the major obstacle to progress. But I think you have hit the nail on the head. Thank you.

Given that the 230s are rebuilt London Underground rolling stock, it seems a shame not to leave the collector shoes in place for use to recharge the batteries.

Abolish standard class. Move Hartford station a mile Northwards.

I suspect people simply don't think it belongs in any of the UK Railway Forums. Try the International Transport forum perhaps?

Yes, exactly, the highest fares are too high and need to be reduced. Who gets caught paying those highest fares? Usually the foreign tourist or someone just arrived from overseas on a flight. It leaves a bad taste with the very people whom it is not good to offend.

I don't see the DUP allowing that. A little piece of history that I did not know until recently and I found to be astounding - At the time of the Pearl Harbor attacks, Churchill sent De Valera an offer. If Ireland would join the war against Germany, Italy, Japan then Britain would cede Northern...

Like the channel? Cars and lorries conveyed by train.

Glasgow - Belfast. Huge cost, huge benefit.

Yes. QED. You have correctly identified the problem.

The simple answer is that it costs "the earth" to provide a private cabin. In the case of a family or a group there is some social benefit. So a single traveller who insists on a private cabin should pay more, or at least the same, as a group occupying the same space. Basically it is fair to...

Thank you, you made my day! lol Really, the solution is couchettes for solitary travellers and cabins only for families or groups travelling and booking together. And if a solitary traveller really needs a private cabin then a hefty fee for that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couchette

Yes indeed. There is a market and a need at a price point for bays of four bunks with no door and the passengers expected to sleep fully clothed. Then the issue of people whose gendered appearance is in any way problematic simply goes away. And private cabins should be two bunks convertible...

This kind of thing is exactly why my elderly sister, who is nearing 80 years old, still drives more than 50 miles each way to visit her son every few weeks. She could easily make the journey by rail and her son begs her to, but she doesn't want to make an honest mistake and fall afoul of this...

Indeed when I was a child there were a number of disused railways and children thought nothing of walking on the tracks. And for example on the line to the Winsford salt mines which, I seem to recall, had one (steam) train a week in the late 1950s. The West Coast mainline in nearby Weaverham was...

A simple answer - in most other countries it is allowed to walk on the railway provided it is safe to do so. And these protesters likely had foreign nexuses, or they wouldn't have been in that protest and thereby used to foreign practices. To be clear, I'm not justifying what they did, merely...

One possibility would be to make Platform 13, and only Platform 13 UIC GC. Plus UIC GC clearances North of the station up to the HS junction - but not in Phase 2a, only in Phase 2b. Doing that would add considerable flexibility, especially in times of engineering possessions.
