The Transport Game

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Onto the West Side with 2N51, the 1924 Northern service to Carlisle, arriving there at 2100 on Tuesday evening.

We seem to have some sort of a problem here, as I feel that this service is the continuation of the posting above with regard to the train service, as there is a 3 minute layover time at Haltwistle from its arrival there at 1921 and the departure onwards at 1924.

ADJUDICATION REQUIRED

Based on the Northern timetable for this route, I would agree with your assertion that it is the same service (18:24 Newcastle, 19:22 Haltwhistle, 19:55 Carlisle). The arrival time used of 21:00 at Carlsile though would suggest that the wrong service has been looked at somewhere along the line.

2N51 leaves Haltwhistle at 2025 and arrives at Carlisle at 2104. Was this the intended train?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A stated journey time of I hour 36 minutes from Haltwhistle to Carlisle is quite a remarkable one these days...hock:

 

[ValleyLines142]

It was whatever the service was an hour after Paul's arrival, if that's of any help.

2N51 leaves Haltwhistle at 2025 and arrives at Carlisle at 2104. Was this the intended train?

I feel that this posting is the answer to the matter and the journey should continue from Carlisle, after the time of 2104, on Tuesday evening.

It was indeed this service. Apologies for the confusion.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

How long have Cross Country been running services from Stranraer to Bristol Parkway....hock:

I know that Stena Line have moved their ferry terminal up to Cairnryan now, so is this rail service something of a compensatory nature

 

[Zoe]

Looks like it was in response to the previous move to Glasgow Central but Paul posted first so we are at Stranraer at 1200 on Wednesday.
