    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    Does anyone know if the new Hillhouse depot (is it a depot or just stabling sidings?) at Huddersfield, will have sidings for diesel trains as well as the extant electric sidings? Is the depot going to get much bigger in terms of track layout than it currently is? (And yes, I appreciate that...

    It’s a bit more simple to launch X from a different computer, than it is to run a railway…

    When was the last time Leeds saw a 156

    Locomotive Services Fleet (LSL) updates

    That would be my assumption too Worth noting that it was a fairly light load by railtour standards

    Summer staffing issues

    I’m sorry, but I don’t see how having rest days (which human beings need), and are contractual and can be mandated; means you don’t care about your job/colleague/customers.
