    They would be very good for the Curzon St -> Stoke stopper idea, which would no longer have to fit into a bay and could be a crowd...

    cle replied to the thread Can GBR bring XC back up to INTERCITY standard?.
    I really can't imagine this is a consideration. I do think that eventually 2tph to Leeds and 1tph direct to ECML, would be desirable...

    Should network strategy and stock / path usage be based on driver preference or "choice", and variety?!

    cle replied to the thread XC WCML.
    That’s what I meant - they’ll start at New St (which will make platforms / pathing for cross-city harder - especially if terminating)...

    The way I took it was the 1tph to each of Cardiff, Bristol, Hereford were all additional services out of Moor St. Plus Camp Hill...

    I think to Derby (getting to Sheffield would be amazing,) - would be fine with Voyagers, as that is the stock today. The Nottingham has...

    It's a bit nuts that there isn't an obvious home for them... they could run the Heathrow Express if 387s were needed elsewhere - they...

    Curious which arm you would choose - ie do Reading/Oxford or Bristol lose their Manchester service? And for that service (now...

    cle replied to the thread MML Electrification: is it going to be completed?.
    It is a little bit random (and diverts/other routings spurious as already a few options) - and for 2tph. I hope one day it does more...

    It's a nice to have, but ultimately these trains need more seats, more luggage space - vs a buffet. Trolley all well and good, but not...

    Was this the one turning at Queens Park for a while? Interesting concept, and plenty of onward tubes / Euston if required… but quite...

    cle replied to the thread Potential timetable for the Leeds - Huddersfield - Manchester route once TRU is complete.
    Yes it means those. Stalybridge - Victoria is covered @ at least 2tph by the services (which call at Ashton!) and are likely to run on...

    cle replied to the thread GWR running Saturday Bristol - Oxford service from Sept 2024.
