Definitely call the Network Rail Helpdesk yourself (or someone on your committee) 03457 11 41 41. "I'm calling about parade [details] and we wanted to check that the organisers have been in touch and the details [etc]". Advise them of what's going on, the date, time, name, that you're calling...

Also worth checking if your hotel in Wuppertal issues complementary local tickets - I've seen multiple reports that they do.

You may wish to speak with your payment card provider, as they should be able to provide the authorisation details for the payment, which will include the exact time the payment was authorised, which I would suggest is the point at which the ticket has been paid for and thus purchased.

1985 to 2019 almost exclusively Class 150 units I believe. The 2 prototype 150 3 car units were used in the area, and a significant number of additional 3 car units were made up by splitting 150/2 units and inserting a vehicle into each 150/1.

My only thought on this is whether the Garforth corridor is intended to be powered from the new Hambleton feeder? Perhaps the folly of the Great Extension Lead will see the wires go further than Micklefield? My other thought is whether delivering the journey time for Leeds to York requires not...

That would presumably also mean that at the origin the unreserved coaches are nearest the buffer stops. Quite a neat solution all round really.

In many ways it isn't really a new platform for Bradford, its Leeds' 19th platform. Much cheaper to free up a platform at Leeds by extending further LNER services away than to build another in Leeds. The additional journey opportunities/levelling up/other political spin explanations are a...

Demolishing the Admin block seems like it would be extremely disruptive - how do you do that above the main entrance to the station? Surely it would be easier to deliver, and easier in the long term (not increasing traincrew walking times etc) to clear more of the ground floor offices to new...

Preston and Warrington I think are a shoe in for Manchester. Carlisle though, with the addition of the Cumbrian Coast and the Settle and Carlisle, I don't think that clear. Given that the assumptions on the capacity of each ROC have gone very wrong given the changes in the capacity of each...

Any information on whether this will go into Manchester ROC or whether we will see Carlisle PEBBLE?

There's no "must" about it - TOC's choice. I'm fairly sure 'L' stop has no meaning.

So "train" to "rain" you say? Looks like a 20% cut to me.

I don't think enough votes have accumulated for this to be shown to all X users yet.

Unfortunately the article doesn't actually say that does it? So the Swedish data isn't comparable. The Australian data does seem to support the idea, however in the context of integral garages a particular issue is when fires occur. EV fires anecdotally can happen at any time, petrol/diesel...

I've always had the impression that they have domestic travel facilities (well since the dates they each started accepting PRIV tickets from other operators), but do they all have FIP discount and coupon privileges?
