I do recall about 4/5 years ago that 195s visited Hull a couple of times on test, from memory they did a couple Doncaster - Hull trips for that purpose (I cannot remember if they went via Selby or Goole though).

Stagecoach Hull run the 1, 2, 3, 4, 4B, 5, 10, 12 and 13 at a half-hourly frequency on Sundays.

Similarly Stagecoach East Midlands trades as Lincolnshire Road Car Company Limited. If my memory serves at one point (about 10 years ago) their buses had the head office address titled as "Stagecoach East Midlands", nowadays they just carry the Roadcar title.

A guard on London Underground (when they existed).

For what it's worth I believe BR wanted to close the line from Goole to Gilberdyke around the time the Selby diversion was built - if a rail link over the Humber existed with Doncaster-Hull services diverting via Scunthorpe then that would've almost certainly happened. In regards to the Barton...

I'll whip my ticket out if I physically hear and see someone nearby asking to see tickets (I usually keep them in my ticket wallet which stays in my pocket) - if they ask to see my railcard I open up the app on my phone. If not then I don't bother.

Worst station in Kingston-upon-Hull will be a challenge, I really can't think of an answer.

That seems to be the case, yes. Not surprising given there's what, 3 peak diagrams a day for them now?

Got some extra WMT information (friend of a friend is a guard there): Northampton Traction: 350 Northampton - London Euston Northampton - Birmingham New Street Rugby - Milton Keynes Central (avoiding Northampton) Rugby - Crewe Watford Junction Traction: 350 Northampton - London Euston...

There are some Working Timetables on the Network Rail website - granted they only cover post-1994 (as far as I can tell) but there might still be something you want. Link here: https://history.networkrail.co.uk/uncategorized/SO_506bb63b-dadf-497e-901d-1673556bcffd

Labour's defeat here was (to me at least) mostly a result of local issues as opposed to anything to do with the national leadership. To put it simply, Labour-run Hull City Council were dire. Incompetent, seemingly uncaring and when pressed would refuse to take any responsibility for anything -...

Do they not already run DOO between Ipswich and Colchester (for the various Peterborough services that start/end at the latter)?

Still exists (I did a couple a few years ago) and appears to be available for purchase. It's a rather restrictive ticket but I still managed to get a reasonable amount of use from it. Link: http://www.railrover.org/pages/lincolnshire-day-ranger.html

Recently I was asked if I had £4.80 for the bus to Grimsby. Quite a specific number I must say (I'm fairly sure Stagecoach charge a load more than that for a ticket to Grimsby but I digress). Simply said "sorry, no change on me". Worked quite well. The guy was reasonably polite afterwards to be...

The route between Leeds and Carlisle does present some opportunities for 170s to get into second gear (Leeds - Skipton I'm fairly sure has stretches of 90, north of there it might be 70 as far as Settle Junction?) unlike the Harrogate Loop. Although I don't think there's enough units that work...

Now they work more limited stop services around Hull I don't think they're as bad as they were when they first started on Northern, but there's still some issues (based on my own anecdotal evidence admittedly). I'd estimate at least one Scarborough-Sheffield diagram a day runs a 158 on it in its...

Hull - managed by TPE who run 1tph to/from the station. Northern run 6tph (in the pre-COVID TT) in comparison (ignoring the once daily LNER and various Hull Trains services).
