    Hi In the current Sunday timetable, there is a TER83823 16:19 Thionville - Charleville Mezieres, and TER83824 18:09 return. Curiously (on the DB Navigator app), these trains are also shown as running today, Tuesday 14th July and Saturday 15th August. There is no reference to the two additional...

    Trivia: Physically connected neighbouring train stations with no regular direct train service.

    If we're allowing light rail, on the Tyne and Wear Metro we have Regent Centre to Longbenton. I did include West Jesmond to Manors, but obviously they're served by direct services in an indirect manner!

    Standard XC Diversions

    Initial announcement on board 1V60 was that the train would run non stop from York to Sheffield. The Doncaster call was subsequently advised, with acknowledgement that there were passengers for there on 1V60 who should have been on 1V89 (leaving Newcastle a few minutes prior). That was...

    LNER 225 Shortening/Overnight Testing

    Presumably a shunt to Heaton Depot and back is unfeasible due to Newcastle crew depot not signing the traction, plus the layover time in Newcastle being intended for the drivers PNB?

    Newcastle to Ashington via Morpeth - 13th August

    TRIVIA: Junctions where the branch is straight-on, and the main is around the corner

I believe it's always the southernmost vehicle, but for arguments sake is Seat 1 / the toilet always at the end of...
