I thought it was where they kept the luggage that people had accidentally left behind!

My favourite bit about Manchester Victoria!! 😉

Disgusting that he’s allowed to carry on playing. And the fact that you continue championing him is extremely poor.

Nice pic Bryan. Is there any specific reason freight services are routed via the curve and station rather than down past the canal and Kilnhurst do you know?

Is there any pattern as to why it’s usually the return trip that’s a few minutes late?

Kilmarnock was unexpected. The other two were right off the radar!!!

And a bit of delay repay to boot?!?

How would you like your delay repay compensation?
1) BACS
2) National Rail Vouchers
3)Spoons Gift Card

Falklands for me. I was eight. As a Sheffield lad, the sinking of HMS Sheffield was particularly memorable.

Correct. There are three large cities in a triangle up here in ‘The North’. Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds. The train service between any two of the three is pathetic.

I remember looking at the population of Reston and thinking there must be some larger places nearby that will feed into it. When I looked on the map there was only Eyemouth of any reasonable size. The next nearest are Berwick and Dunbar.

Absolutely! And I remember very well the abuse I got from certain people over on the other side when I suggested the same before it even opened.

Bit of a tangent here Bryan and I know you were a driver, but any idea what the reasoning was behind only having door controls at every other door on the 195 and 331? Is this the case on all the new CAF derivatives do you know?

IMHO the 170 is still the best unit Northern has from a passenger comfort point of view.

I’d completely forgotten about that. With the green livery!

Strange to think that once upon a time you could travel all the way to St. Pancras on a 170.

If it’s got more than two platforms the answer is always Ulverston Parkway.

It’s a pity there’s no way to perform a mass blocking of his followers too.

If you go onto feeds and search for Sheffield there is one set up.

My first full time job was at Savacentre Meadowhall. Most of the management had come from the stores at Washington or Oldbury via promotion. Some very strong accents!!

Was hoping to watch it tonight Jen, but we were on a Northern Only weekend rover this past weekend and I’ve only been submitting my Delay Repays since 6.00pm. May get finished in time to have a look next week!!

Very good. Didn’t realise it was just a day trip!!

What other ticket(s) are you using whilst you’re up there Stu?

I recall getting dogs abuse on Twitter from one of the people who’d campaigned for the new station when I questioned if it was really worth it!!!

With the new timings, Northern have effectively made the service unusable for anything other than connecting at Retford.
People at Brigg can’t go shopping to Sheffield for the day and if they fancy going to the seaside they only get just over an hour and a half there. It’s pathetic.

I see Northern knew you were travelling and rolled out the red carpet with a 3-car 150 instead of a 2-car!
Fame has its privileges eh?!? 😀

Not sure where you’re ending up tonight, but have a good evening and hope all goes to plan tomorrow. 👍

Must have been fun planning it!! Have you racked up much delay repay?!?!?

Ey up Stu. Great pics over the last few days. Out of interest, what tickets have you been using on this latest trip?
