Looking at that damage, I can only envisage it being reversed away because you certainly couldn't connect anything to it.

Ooops, sorry, not read the thread or news properly! I thought the HST had gone into the 15X, not the other way around! Apologies! Looks like the 15X man has some explaining to do then.

Exactly. I'm surprised a platform, anything SW of Bristol, could accommodate both a HST and any other stock you care to mention. Having said that, even if signaller error, the driver of the HST should have been fully aware of this. Still, let's wait until the RAIB report before jumping to...

Yup, Firefox reporting it at my end to for some reason.

Not much in Parbold, if truth be told!

That does only have a 10mph speed limit you know

They are valid as long as your destination and departure point are within the rover boundaries.

Having some experience of the management at Merseyrail, I very much doubt the guard will be disciplined in a case such as this. Quite the contrary

A few HGV drivers too, me being one of them

Don't know where that came from because both Virgin and Northern haven't been supplying any road transport for exactly that reason i.e too dangerous.

Why not do yourself some good and do a 10 minute walk??? No potential problem then!

Quite right. You give it what you can get away with

It's a job with much better pay than hauling Sainsbury's stock about in a articulated lorry like I used to do. I really can't understand this pride business, but then wouldn't we all be boring if we were the same? I can understand the freight boys having a bit of pride in what they do - that's...

Can't see there being a problem at Salford Crescent since you stay on the platform to await a train going up to Vic. No checking done whatsoever

All Southport trains stop at Appley Bridge

Depending on installation being the operative words. Down in my neck of the woods, it can be done instantly

A lot of local line crossings do have plenty of time to prevent a train from departing, even if the barriers are already down, if an emergency vehicle comes on by. Parbold cabin and Bamber Bridge being one good example on my routes.

The police will never cross a LC when the lights are red, as shown in a few past historical cases. When a pursuit is considered too dangerous to continue, plod wil always back down --- old post above --- --- new post below --- If that had been a high speed train approaching, the Ambulance...

A hell of a lot of weekend travellers in my experience are young, BRITISH people with trolley cases as big as they are! Most migrants couldn't afford the fares anyway! :-) A lot of our Japanese friends do seem to travel the Manchester to Chester line a lot though, especially on Sundays :-)
