That’s good to hear and confirms that apart from any possible use on c2c the surplus 720s ain’t going anywhere.

A similar incident occurred with a sister unit at Enfield in 2023. Not sure how long it was out of traffic.

Very good :lol:

Best to just get the short term lease agreed as the route is suffering quite severely currently. The financial side of things can be sorted at a later date.

Empty Stock Coaching. First time I’ve seen it that way round ;)

It’s 10mph or below. Nine is fine, eight is great as they say.

My first thought was Open Access.

Isn’t it Upon Avon?

And it’s an official PNB point? I’ve not known that for many years now. Out of interest, what is OA?

But wouldn’t staff toilets have to be just that? I have never known a single PNB point where they are shared with the public. It’s just not permitted.

Must have full facilities or cannot be called a PNB point for traincrew. 1791732559 Difficult to say really.

I just meant that Avanti now serve Nuneaton all day everyday on the Manchester route and Lumo West Coast serve Nuneaton on their Stirling services. That’s quite an uplift in express departures compared to the original VHF timetable. Obviously some connections are better than others depending on...

Sheil Buses in Fort William seemed very unsure of PlusBus even though both drivers allowed me to travel. I did tweet the company praising them but suggesting it would be good to remind drivers but received no reply. Only other problem I’ve had was in Solihull. All other participating operators...

I can only assume it’s a start and the easiest way to do it with a Lincoln crew and one unit. Looks like PNBs will be at Sleaford (if that’s a permitted PNB point) as around a 40min turnaround with good connectivity into services to/from Skegness.

Lincoln-Sleaford gets a two-hourly Sunday service from December.

Yes, there was a hint of resentment :lol:

Operationally it’s the best thing to do. It has to be looked at with units and crew to see what best suits and recovers the service.

I very much doubt it. We just have to accept it is what it is.

Just time really. This happens most years to one extent or another.

Since the introduction of Thameslink and all the additional services it’s certainly a different railway reliability wise even if it is much busier now. The infrastructure on the WAML certainly seems to be showing its age.
