Ron Ron Ron Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I wonder if there's a tax break for the NDA for providing this service, as part of some sort of Green transport to work initiative? It might even be an environmental offset. (Alleged) green public transport to offset the amount of 3 headed fish in the Irish Sea. . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Steve OK just looking at these again The 2nd block of the Monday diagrams seems to start in Carlisle and end in Barrow where as I would have expected it to start Barrow end in Barrow so looking into things have found 5C33 05:34 Barrow C.S to Barrow loco hauled http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y30125/2015/05/18/advanced now this looks to be the empty stock for 2C33 05:57 Barrow - Carlisle arrive 08:34 http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y30139/2015/05/18/advanced this is currently down as a Unit but it would fit in with the follow on diagram. So I reckon it would be Monday on 18/05/2015 2C34 14:35 Carlisle - Barrow arrive 17:22 http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y31028/2015/05/18/advanced 2C47 17:31 Barrow - Carlisle arrive 20:31 http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y30156/2015/05/18/advanced 5C33 05:34 Barrow C.S to Barrow arrive 05:37 http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y30125/2015/05/18/advanced 2C33 05:57 Barrow - Carlisle arrive 08:34 http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y30139/2015/05/18/advanced Currently advised as unit 2C40 08:42 Carlisle - Barrow arrive 11:30 http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y31039/2015/05/18/advanced 2C41 14:37 Barrow - Carlisle arrive 17:28 http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y30150/2015/05/18/advanced 2C42 17:37 Carlisle - Barrow arrive 20:29 http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y31045/2015/05/18/advanced So this is all just guess work trying to fill in the gaps at the moment there are no ECS jobs on to come from or go back to Kingmoor or back to Barrow c.s at the end of the day Also the top block starting at 14:35 the inbound working from that seems to be from Morecambe so other than the ones on Realtime definatly showing loco hauled take it all with a pinch of salt. But if anyone has a job in train planning and wants it all sorted it out let me know Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-e Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Ah right a lot of those trains dont even appear on Realtime trains yet so guess they haven't been uploaded or its all still work in progress. The 1st train that goes to Preston currently showing as Maryport to Preston http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y36224/2015/05/19/advanced this did make sense with their anouncement of an early morning train to Sellafield. But thanks for those I can keep an eye out for them appearing now. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-e Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Still looks to be work in progress at the moment. They have added a loco hauled 05:15 Carlisle - Preston via Barrow which is now showing on Realtimetrains http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y36224/2015/05/18/advanced but not the 10:04 Preston to Barrow which is been passed around that gets the stock back on the coast.
