I think the answer to that is yes, like LSL running the Friday only Euston - Manchester to take up some spare capacity during Avanti's troubles, or having a go at the Jabobite during the door issues. LSL wouldn't even need to hire in any units, they could just send 142003 (the orange one)...

An example of the data being broken is this one just spotted in the RTT thread: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G45640/2025-04-27 Carmarthen and London Paddington to London Paddington

I think that's a consequence of the data, since RTT connects trains that join into single lists (on simple mode)

Yes, the 195/1s are 3 carriages.

The minimum connection time is 11 minutes (by running it can be done in about 2).

When originally drafting my post, I had those as examples, but cut them out to avoid derailing the thread. In an old thread (from 2020) there was a Crewe - Heart of Wales service that I think had 50 stops. I personally wouldn't count that since it's two different services (not a...

It calls at 41 stations, which is is the same amount as yesterday's Aberdeen - Penzance.

The (I think fake) Leather on the Guided Buses in Manchester used to get really hot to sit on when it was warm out. Presumably this is still the case, but I don't use the busway basically ever anymore.

The version the GWR Class 230 trial is using is the slow method, battery charges slowly from the grid, then rapidly pushes that all into the train without putting stress onto the grid. When an electric train accelerates it pulls a lot of power, but being able to spread that power over a slow...

I always assumed it either wasn't real wood and just looked like wood or had some kind of fireproof coating on it (either or both may be wrong). Either way I don't think any new platforms would be built out of wood now.

Hag Fold and Hall I' th' wood are both wooden. I think the old Horwich parkway was too before it was rebuilt.

No, Winslow is the new station on EWR between Bicester and Bletchley, Wixams will be a new station on the Midland Main Line.

Those are advanced ticket quotas, once those run out they then become more expensive for the next people that buy them, however this has no impact on "walk up tickets" (e.g. an off-peak return) which can be bought at any time and used on any valid train, some companies add "Compulsory...

I find that the Leeds -> Wigan trains usually only skip stops when it's running so late as to delay the Headbolt Lane train.
