You don't say when and where you are travelling and I guess it's unlikely to be on Sunday morning but just in case be aware there is a late start to services on the Altrincham line then due to National Rail engineering work

Suggest if saved might be worth contacting the National Railway Museum at York, they have a lot of memorabilia there

Hope you get there okay - failed to run beyond Edinburgh last night due to flooding but seem to be running through Bridge Of Orchy fine today

The further north you are on Friday the better the weather BUT I would be checking all possible social media channels for updates. I believe CS generally do contact customers direct if there are cancellations providing they have their details. I hope you get to make your journey but if I am...

All services all cancelled Wednesday night due to incoming storm

Just to advise three points here: 1. I don't need assistance, I am perfectly mobile on my artificial limbs, assistance is for people more disabled than me in wheelchairs for example 2. I booked reserved seats on a York > Scarborough return service 2 weeks ago. Yes I got seat reservations at the...

Training for the traction running on that line was taking place 3 years ago - I know because I saw it happening, day after day after day, it was relentless. As for seat reservations I'm afraid the answer is know TPE and National Rail have both confirmed to me the services between York and...

Had a look back at my timetable records and trains have run direct Manchester <> Scarborough for at least 50 years. Yes I appreciate we're mid pandemic but it feels like a very retrograde step not to run direct services. Plenty of people holiday in Scarborough and plenty of people go on day...

That's a very good shout - what fooled me was seeing it activated but when I have looked subsequently it seems it's activated every day. I did though at least have the pleasure of seeing the Jacobite roll through the station 1621015007 Thanks for confirming - much appreciated

There's been discussion elsewhere on the forum in the past in relation to freight (and especially logging trains) on the West Highland line. Up in Fort William last week I was intrigued to see this movement planned: (7Y04) Realtime Trains - 7Y04 1340 Corpach Pulp Mill to Fort William J.Yd T.C...

Not sure whether electrical fault applies just to the tearoom but departure boards were also blank. When operating the tearoom is open 9.30am to 2.30pm at present, probably reflecting the paucity of trains, more than 5 hours between services from early afternoon. I was only able to travel the...

Hope you enjoy, just note that if travelling to Mallaig the 16.05 service isn't in the timetable before mid May at the earliest so impossible to travel there & back in a day. Caledonian Sleeper not taking foot passengers either. Cafe currently closed at Crianlarich due to electrical issues nor...

Running as 4 cars at present splitting in to 2x2 car sets at Crianlarich, 1 set to Oban, the other to FW/Mallaig. Travelled the line today & reasonably busy but not on a par with pre-covid. Timetable due to be revised again mid May 2021 when FW portion might revert back to 4 cars as used to be...

Cornbrook sidings in Old Trafford was a very large area, now developed in to a business park

The trams will run to Crumpsall once the pandemic is over and all the new trams have been delivered. The additional platform at Crumpsall is completed and ready for use

I can't see it listed to here but Manchester Victoria and Manchester Exchange actually shared the longest platform in the World at one time but is disqualified as I am certain there wasn't a service that stopped at both! Urmston > Chassen Road and Chassen Road - Flixton are very close too

There is one issue with the Metrolink which is between Cornbrook and St Peter's Square. Any problems on that stretch of track and virtually the entire network is paralysed. So I would say tunnel or otherwise there needs to be a second way to get round the City. Not venturing to say it is...

This topic has been covered in the past and I know inbound Cement to the Terminal at Salford is covered every 10 days or so by boat from Limerick and Drogheda but I noticed today people working on the line and a lot of clearance work has taken recently place in the vicinity too with trees cut...

What has happened to the early morning services in both directions between Glasgow Queen Street and Oban? They seem to have disappeared off the timetable yet I thought he service in to Oban in a morning was critical to schoolchildren making their schools? Can't see any replacement buses either

I think the point is it is reliable and you plan your trip according to the timetable. Services from Swanage to Wareham won't be as frequent as that either
