    Ticket barriers at Wigan North Western

    How wise are ppl to this unit arrangement? I’ve heard many ppl looking / acting puzzled when trying to get to the other part of the train

    What’s the point of this movement?

    Ok thanks guys. Wasn’t aware of the upcoming closure. Makes sense then

    What’s the point of this movement?

    Just been on a Northenr train passing Romiley and saw a TPE train going the other way. No engineering works to Stockport so decided to look it up. It appears there was an ECS movement from Manchester to Chinley East junction and back again. But for what reason?? Photos attached

    Could the Heart of Wales timetable be improved?

    hmm yes I’d say it was obvious because if the usage was high enough, they wouldn’t have the cost pressures…? It all boils down to money. If it was used well enough to cover costs, it would have continued

    Could the Heart of Wales timetable be improved?

    Obviously they are removing the late night SHR-LLO and return due to low usage. Does anyone know if it did get used in some capacity or was it literally empty each time it ran? I’m assuming the return back to Shrewsbury would likely be empty

    Where has a 195 been?

    Yes, many times! The first Manchester to Sheffield service of the day via Stockport (Mon-Sat) at 5:46 is usually a 195

    This is the cheapest adult ticket on the network?

    So back to the topic, is £0.70 the clear winner?? Any advances (no pun intended!) on that? :D

    Unexplained speed restrictions

    Thanks for this. The Disley/Middlewood one has indeed been longstanding. Cant see it being fixed anytime soon. And I agree the Hague bar one is more recent. Bet this persists too

    Unexplained speed restrictions

    There are currently 2 sections of railway where trains crawl and I’d like to understand the rationale behind it. 1) Halfway between Disley and Middlewood going northbound ONLY, the train crawls to like 5mph on the edge of Lyme Park. Why?? Never used to do this in previous decades. And note...
