When will the first franchise awards be annocuned I know West Leeds fulls under the first phase but exactly what routes/ depots etc?

I do remember the 458 introduction on on Alton and Guildford to Waterloo. Think they ended there runs on the Guildford stopper once Woking bay was completed and the direct went to 4 an hour.

Question- when is the planned long blockade on mirfield/ Heaton lodge section? Is it 2027?

Woking is a 4 platform through junction station compared to Guildford which has 6 through platforms firstly. Secondly Guildford doesn’t have as many conflicting movements or the intensity of Woking

Frequency cuts for 7,7A, 7S, 16, 19/19A from the 18th May

Started just after 9 and I was done for just before 1

Hi, I attended mine 2 weeks ago, I passed with the medical Friday coning, start date 19th May. It’s a really nice day start to finish 2 group activities one is on marketing and the other is a set of issues which needed to be prioritied Then a break (those who haven’t passed first stage get...

Utter madness isn’t it. I avoid the 33 about 8:20 from horsforth as it’s always a single and rammed In the evening rush I think 3 are regularly timetabled one after another between 5-6pm

Got my conductor assessment day for Northern at Leeds next Thursday. Day is divided up into 2 group activities, role play and a panel interview Any advise/ what to expect on group tasks/ role play?

Used to be a Pompey direct off Wat during the peak 1845 i think that was first stop West Byfleet during the SWT days

Disappointed to see the 34 drop to hourly on Sunday’s. Can’t wait to see how the 27/33 inter working plays out during peak hours.

Pre move to TPE it was mainly 158s but any of the Neville Hill sprinters or Pacers could make an appearance. Class 170’s were hired in by Northern post 2018 timetable meltdown to give TPE an extra 185. Surprised a class 170 isn’t available to cover the bi-hourly trip, class 150 will be a big...

A P4 arrival at Donny on the 12:45 ex LDS sent us via the Decoy and I Just spotted 2x Class 379’s on the old postal platforms at Donny, split, rear unit pan up, front unit pan down and hooked up to a class 57. Both heading south I assume?

I believe it’s crewed by Leeds. As it’s a 91 and only KX and LDS have traction knowledge. Probs a taxi from Leeds or TPE night service it over

Saw one of the Leeds’ new single decker electrics on staff bus duties tonight on Boar lane I’ve a few questions How many are heading for Bramley? Likely routes? Assume the 4/4F/16/16A for the deckers?

Had one last jaunt out on the 68s & MKV’s today. Outbound (1634 exLDS-YRK) was slow following a northern stopper, nothing really exciting. The return from YRK 20:38 crikey we took off like a shot from plat 3 at YRK. Really felt the power of the 68 (leading) and we’ve gone hell for leather since...

been looking around to find a answer- but not getting far 1) NPR is still happening but will now go via Bradford then onto Leeds? Or to Marsden then separate routes to Leeds/ Bradford? 2) £12b for Manchester to Liverpool- is this to fill in for the HS2 infastrucer between...

The reliability was awful and it struggled to keep to time across Leeds. As a regular user on the Northern leg (now 38/39) I can’t really grumble at the new service. Some of timing is a bit unthought out but very rare to find cancellation and lateness is minutes not half hour +

The 802’s (19 of them) aren’t heavily diagramed at present if I am right in thinking. 7 on Newcastle-Liverpool 4 on Man Picc- Newcastle 1 on Anglo-Scottish (WCML) 2 on Newcastle-Edinburgh 14 out of 19

Leeds-Huddersfield is closed and only a half hourly service from Huddersfield to Manchester-> hourly on to Liverpool is probably helping
