I can only comment on the Agecroft proposal but I suspect it would be incredibly difficult. What Google maps doesn't show you is the elevation changes, the railways line is down in the valley and you'd have to come up 30/40m, then go over the A6 duel carriageway and immediately drop down the...

One was Liverpool SP, Runcorn, Crewe, Milton Keynes Central and the other was Runcorn, Lichfield TV, Tamworth

Most unusual one I ever got was 'Icicles in a Tunnel'

It is 3 trains each way in both the morning peak and evening peak. It was introduced in December 2022, at the same time that Eccles lost its peak time stops on the Leeds to Chester service so it also acts as a replacement service for that as well as giving Wigan an extra peak service. And as was...

From my experience it is busy from Wigan in the mornings but not in the evenings. On the other hand it's quiet from Manchester Victoria in the morning but busy in the evenings. It also gives Eccles an extra train to/from Manchester at peak times but it only stops at Eccles on trains to...

Would TfW's longest not be the Saturday only Manchester Piccadilly to Pembroke Dock?

What other stations on the line need extending to accommodate 6 car trains? I know Eccles is long enough as I use it often but I'm pretty sure there's a fair few that need extending

As someone who unfortunately has to deal with TPE's shinanigans on a near daily basis I'm used to cramped trains but today takes the cake. From Leeds to Manchester both the 15:07 and 15:15 were cancelled, leaving Leeds with no TPE service westbound for an hour. To compound matters further the...

One I've seen was someone getting on a train at London Bridge getting on a train to Hastings when they needed to go to Hayes. Matters were made worse as there were engineering works that day and the Hastings train was going via the Hayes line before heading around the chord at Beckenham and the...

St Leonards Warrior Square

The Avantis to from Euston to Glasgow via West Midlands seem to be back at long last!

New peak service between Manchester Victoria and Wigan North Western and vice versa, with those in peak direction also calling at Eccles

I've experienced it with southeastern a fair few times heading from London towards Hastings, with trains suddenly going High Brooms, Tunbridge Wells, Hastings at very short notice after London Bridge or even Waterloo East on occasion

Dore and Totley

MCR are playing in Warrington this Friday, it will be interesting to see how northern copes with getting everyone back to Liverpool or Manchester after that concert, especially given how LNWR fared.

Isn't there a proposal a to run peak time services from Manchester Victoria - Eccles - Wigan, in place of stopping the Leeds-Chester at Eccles at peak times from December? That could in theory stop at Golborne, if they made that service hourly then you could have a viable service pattern

I see that Eccles loses its peak call on the Leeds - Chester, although that is replaced by the new peak Victoria - Wigan

Although not scheduled if the Edinburgh/Blackpool - Euston via Brum is running 5 or so mins late (which is surprisingly often) it will overtake the XC from Manchester - Reading/Bournemouth at or just before Stafford which then in turn overtakes it at Wolverhampton

Bishop's Stortford

Cross Country is currently missing some pre-Covid services, albeit I acknowledge these are not running to increase capacity on other services. Manchester - Bristol - (Exeter). Normally hourly North East - Reading. Normally hourly Daily extensions to Guildford Plus a bunch of places are...
