All the Class 150s are out of one pool at Newton Heath in the May 2026 unit diagrams, the Class 156s continue to remain in a separate pool as well.

I agree, I think a direct service for Bromley North would be an ideal candidate if it can be pathed in following the Hayes line being transferred out.

Building on previous suggestions, splitting the routes & destinations so that conflicts are removed at Lewisham would be a massive help to reliability. Some lines would require a split between terminals. In a world where we had to keep a Thameslink service, I would re-route it via Lewisham which...

Tree down between Manchester Piccadilly and Airport, near Gatley, stranded 2A92 with no power due to OHLE tripping. Looks like a 1Z99 is on the way to rescue passengers. Also a stopped train on the Rose Hill Marple branch, 2R23, not moved for 20 minutes now. 1J25 has hit a fallen tree near...
