There's nothing in the OP's one and only pat to suggest that that isn't the case though. "Being bounced around" suggests that the OP has received more than one reply, the first almost certainly being some sort of acknowledgment and apology. Any further replies are most likely to be in response...

This has now left and transferred to join its sisters at Halifax.

At risk of straying off topic, AIUI (DDA)PSVAR requirements for vehicles classified as a coach - even if being used on regular service work - did not come into effect until 01/01/2020

Basically, yes. I expect the BoJ restriction is to basically (a slightly clumsy way to) enforce the same on the return leg i.e only valid on the day that you commence the leg.

Blythe Bridge as well on that line

Yes, 13' 10" though, so too tall for the bridge in question.

B5 is the off-peak time restriction for the ticket, which does indeed only apply Monday-Friday. However the route restriction of "via Stoke on Trent" applies at all times As far as I can see, the RailUK journey planner only offers an itinerary travelling via Tamworth with a more expensive...

Does anybody make a 13' 8" double decker for the UK market nowadays? And does it come with a roof mounted chainsaw? And fuel economy anywhere near that of a single deck vehicle?

Personally, I don't think that would be an unreasonable condition tbh. I don't really see how you choosing not to travel in the 10 weeks between tickets purchase and travel date is the any different to going 10 weeks without travelling at any other point during the validity of the railcard.

Given how long the former Eclipse E200MMC's have been driving around in their former livery, I wouldn't count on it.

And doing a significant amount of tree surgery on the Alsager to Haslington stretch. As you say though, there simply isn't the demand to justify double deckers (or increased frequency) on that section.

There's absolutely no need for the 3 to be every 20 minutes to Crewe, there really isn't sufficient demand to warrant that frequency between Kidsgrove and Crewe (excepting perhaps the odd journey here and there). Additional capacity on the Hanley to Kidsgrove section (shared with the 3A) would...

Everton 2 - 0 Liverpool A great game to watch as a neutral. Everton really showed fight and determination, Liverpool just didn't quite look the part tbh. Whilst nothing is guaranteed yet, the result pretty much ends Liverpool's title race, whilst virtually securing another season in the the...

They're a little on the compact side, but other than that I don't see an issue

I really don't buy the argument about "train station" being an Americanism. We all know that Americans fly everywhere and rail travel in the States is as good as non-existent. I can certainly think of precious few examples of "modern" US produced films and TV shows where there's anywhere near...
