    It runs as an STP, so the schedules will appear in RTT a few days before it is booked to run. MARK

    Rail Freight Flows and News UK

    No news on the Hope traffic I'm afraid, but there is a train to Ashburys today: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/R09843/2024-04-20/detailed MARK

    Is there anyway to predict how early a freight train will depart?

    As per the previous reply, those workings are not 'freight trains' in the traditional sense; they are departmental 'possession' trains, so they run as and when dictated by the possession they are serving - once their job (ballast supply or spoil removal for example) is completed, they can...

    Another landslip - Knottingley (Pontefract East area)

    Doesn't affect the Immingham to Drax trains whatsoever. Liverpool to Drax services which would normally run past the site of the landslip are currently being diverted via Castlford and Milford Junction, where they reverse. MARK

    Nothing - it's just a spurious 'placeholder' path that never runs. MARK

    Questions about the 3 Colas Rail New Measurement Train Working Time Table allocations at Skipton that have been added recently

    On the day? Wait for them to be activated and/or set off from their point of origin. In advance? Within a few days of the train being booked to run, if it is still shown on RTT as not being "cancelled from WTT today" then it will most likely run. Further in advance? I post full diagrams for...

    Questions about the 3 Colas Rail New Measurement Train Working Time Table allocations at Skipton that have been added recently

    You rang? :D Further info on the three workings linked to: - 1Q13 on Monday 08/04/24 is diagrammed to run on that date (NMT) - 1Q85 on 10/04 is not booked to run - 1Q17 on Sunday 14/04/24 is diagrammed to run on that date (NMT) Test train diagrams are a *lot* more complicated than that...
