The MkIs all have their doors locked out of use. So WCRC has knocked together a 7 coach train with only 4 CDL-fitted vehicles.
No heat or aircon, of course, with no diesel or generator van.
On the odd occasion that I commute to work via train (usually when the car is in for its MOT or similar, or there's a work social event involving alcohol!) I buy an Anytime day return from Coventry to The Hawthorns.
It is always accepted by the New Street barriers, and is always rejected by the...
Well, at least The Herald has worked it out now.
This is behind a paywall, but you can work the tone of the article out from the headline.
Jacobite Harry Potter train operators under fire
The comments (which you can read without paying) aren't pulling any punches either.
Well, some of the passenger trains have the reasons
1D32 - problem with the track (IS)
1V66 - due to the request of the police (VG)
1D91 - points failure (IB)
1D93 - signalling systems failure (IF)
1D21 Shewsbury-Holyhead has just left Flint 79 late after sitting in the station for 45 minutes...
I travelled from Wellingborough to St Pancras on Friday afternoon, returning on Saturday morning. Whilst the services were busy they were certainly not overcrowded and the queues at St Pancras were not excessive at all.
I am good friends with two people who work for WCRC and even they would both agree with you. Their opinions on certain people higher up in the company would be unprintable here.
There isn't a 1200, that goes to Inverness. The next one is 1400 and that was only 18 minutes late at Leuchars. The 1000 was indeed 68 late at Leuchars.
1E12 and 1V60 have moved past the presumed obstruction, but they're now stopped outside Berwick as 1S07 and 1S35 are taking up the platforms. Nothing moving north yet.
Yes, I am in the usual dilemma tomorrow. I am going from Rugby to a gig in London. I can make the 9G70 2324 Euston-Wolverhampton. If it is shown as running tomorrow (it does get cancelled occasionally despite being the last train), I *still* worry about it having an issue during the day after...
Thank you both. I have found another one - appears to be the same station as the first photo looking at the hedge - and this time we have a destination blind of Penrith, which would fit with Bassenthwaite Lake?
Hello all, clearing out some stuff from an empty house after a death and wondered if these photos could be identified? I don't have a date, though they were with some other photos dating from the early 60s. The only thing I have to go on is that the deceased's relatives worked on the railways...
Yes, they are, and people seem to forget that this has been a thing for a good while. Given, it's even more pronounced now, but even before Covid, my morning commute to work along a very busy part of the M6 was always 10 minutes faster on a Friday.
I was surprised to see 710374 sitting in Platform 6 at Rugby yesterday evening. According to RTT it had done a 5Q33 from Euston, and was about to return after a short wait at Rugby, on a 5Q34 to Willesden. What would the purpose of this have been?
