    How to deal with a TOC that won't engage with you? - Platform alterations at Leyland station

    Northern have been good when I've contacted them on twitter (or whatever it is called this week). Most companies generally are. If I want to go full Karen, I'll write directly to the CEO which usually gets things moving in the right direction. https://www.ceoemail.com/

    I wonder how long the replacement bus would take?

    Signalling Variety in UK?

    They'd probably panic on the Bentham line though when they wonder where the signals are :lol:

    Trivia: Bleakest Terminal Stations

    Aye, there aren't any - other than the odd pigeon or screechy gull (who would probably be at home on platform 14 at Manchester Pic).

    Trivia: Bleakest Terminal Stations

    Ah, the good old Fragonset class 31 working. Only ran for a few months in 2004. Heck of a journey though! Blackpool South is a bit bleak, but the staff are friendlier than Blackpool North.

    Double Pendolino

    There is a video that has 2 Pendolino's coupled together. Don't know if this is / was a common event. I imagine that only Colchester would be able to handle it!

    Seat reservations, how are they allocated?

    I always ask for facing, individual seats when I book on Northern then get a backwards table seat when I look at the number they give me. At least the Avanti app gives the option of being able to select your seat.

    Has the tram ever been suggested for Poulton - Fleetwood line ?

    I'm sure they were building houses on that land the last time I passed it.

    Anyone live beside the railway.

    I'm next to the South Fylde line. 150's and 156's only these days - when they can be bothered running a service :'(

    Worldwide IT Outage (Crowdstrike update)

    We are, but we also aren't getting much in the way in from customers, so it works both ways.

    Restore Your Railway - South Fylde

    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...
