realtrain times only showing 442 and 456 playing out today, unless I missed something, if one of them sits down then the other has to retire

It was Wigan wallgate the comment was referring to 1749881001 It does sound weird when they pulling away on diesel but with noises also of electric train

I'm not sure how much you know about the bus industry, but new buses are required to comply with PSVAR (Public Service Vehicles Accessibility (Amendment) Regulations), which has a serious implication on seating; the latest being only 64 seater. We run 74-seat double-deckers without PSVAR...

If there were thousands waiting, a 66 seater double-decker is not really going to make inroads.

Wembley stadium is exactly the same for both stations,

Cannot belive someone encouraging the use of rail replacement services, there are 2 alternative wired routes to be used for diversion soon to be 3. Use of rail replacement service would easily extended journey time by another 60/90 minutes. The lack of space on rail replacement service for...

With crewing being an issue, would it not make sense to disband some 4 car units to make a pool of 6 car units for the busiest services, obviously then be a pool of Driving cars spare

Most of the Blackpool To Liverpool services had pre planned cancellation and then most of the 323 allocated services run ECS to Blackpool and ECS back(strange), Really poor service according to real traintimes

100 miles Wigan to westhoughton and they cover it roughly 10 mins, nothing wrong with 769s fastest train on the planet, think you find it’s roughly 4 to 5 miles

I’m not sure about complete ban on agency drivers in Tranche 2 and 3, I have had 2 agency firms offering me very good money above £20 an hour, with guarantee of 50 hours per week at all depots in south Manchester and in Bolton too

Some friends I know work on railway was loving the 4 day week(1 day on strike) as due to paying less tax their take home pay was just a little less than 5 days, so can’t see them wanting do 6 days

Just looks good HST on a Paddington bound service

And Northern are run as a OLR

We will agree to disagree and end this topic about what’s best for residents along the old 32 route(not just Wigan). Your local knowledge on this far outweighs mine .

I think you have lost the ideal of the franchising network it is not for routes to make a profit but provide a service, I would guess the 615 doesn’t cover wear and tear on the tyres, as for a half hourly service on the 132 7 days a week, from my observation that will never make it pay. But I...

I noticed that on Monday the 1215 Penzance to Paddington was an HST to Plymouth , worked a Paddington service from Plymouth due to over running works at Paddington

Very true so on that basis the services from Bolton to Wigan should also be withdrawn, Bolton to Manchester, Bury to Manchester, etc etc etc. A parallel train should be enhanced by a parall train service. The 32 hardly runs parallel with the train service. I no longer have need of a direct...

769s over 142s

The 32 was well used by passengers between Wigan and Atherton, always a good load waiting at stops at Hindley bird stop( I know was one of them). All well saying a connection available onto the V1 or V2. Coming home after a long day nothing better than a direct bus. is this what the bee network...

Wigan really needs direct bus service to Manchester, the train is so unreliable, The 32 in its day was rammed, the 33 we’ll not so. But a 32 service is definitely needed
