I'm interested in the full project, but given my user name, I'm more interested in my local branch than any other the other projects and proposals. There doesn't appear to be anything happening on this project. A few mentions on one of the MP's Facebook page and a couple of back slapping...

lol, yeah, I wasn't risking a ticking off from the moderators by using the proper word !

I think the person who wrote it is playing buzzword bingo.

Over the years there have been a number of direct service from Liverpool to Glasgow - seems to be one of the first to get the chop when there is a review. Currently, there's 2 direct services a day from Liverpool to Glasgow. At any other time there's an hourly service from Liverpool to...

Started on this, but when it asks for age and salary without an opt out, then it gets binned (or gets answered in the most unrealistic way) Who funds this, is it Northern themselves or is it just some chatbot that's lonely?

Get that a lot with day rangers where they won't work on barriers in Liverpool or Wigan Wallgate but quite happily work in Leeds and Manchester Oxford Road.

I'd like the "Northern Only Day Ranger" to be available without the need to collect the newspaper tokens.

I got a full house playing "Buzzword Bingo" on that document. Given how much core route duplication they have with XC, I would have thought merging both companies would be an option.

Will be watching this one. Had the same problem back in June where I tried to get a walk on cheap day single from Glasgow to Preston, but none of the apps or even the TVM in Central would sell it. Strange as like you say 1st class is usually pretty quiet on this leg.

Nothing to worry about living on Tennyson. The trains on the South Fylde line are running on continuous welded rail, so no clickity clack type of noise. Service wise, they are running 2 car 150 / 156 or on a posh day 158 - sometimes sets are doubled up at the weekend into 4 car sets. Since...

There aren't. Vehicles have to be DDA compliant where most coach operators don't have a full fleet of DDA compliant vehicles. The way round this is either if the people organising replacement buses turn a blind eye or if they use minibuses instead of coaches. Most PSV buses are DDA compliant...

South Fylde Line interesting bits Going past Royal Lytham golf course Going past Blackpool Airport (when it had decent traffic) looking towards Blackpool Tower Going past Blackpool Pleasure Beach Not so interesting bits The slow stretch between Wrea Green and Moss side waiting for the level...

Probably because the Scottish government couldn't then blame Westminster if it went belly up.

lol, lets get the old Corpie bus back. I'll be interested in reading the proposals and more interested to see how they propose to get them funded.

Hopefully soon. Travelled 1st last November and December and can only describe the new menu as utter garbage. Even the old British Rail ham butty would be better than this. Even more disappointed that despite boarding at 10:30, the breakfast option wasn't available but I could have "afternoon...
