@Railpassion1 @northernassist The weather was horrendous, but a rail replacement bus was advertised for 22.00 from Scarborough.
Lots of folk who weren’t from the area marooned, we directed a number to the service bus to Bridlington. The TPE station announcement really should’ve mentioned the East Riding bus

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

I know it’s been a tough day @northernassist but the announcement at Scarborough that said no road transport was available and basically said ‘good luck’ wasn’t acceptable.

The first cancellation was four hours ago.. @kevinhollinrake

@Greenhough65291 @TPEassist @northernassist @kevinhollinrake Who are you? the rail regulator?

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

Hi @TPEassist Scarborough train has just left York 14 mins late. Looking to connect with 16.05 @northernassist to hull at seamer.
TPE will arrive at 16.06. Will the connection be held?

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

@Greenhough65291 @TPEassist @northernassist @kevinhollinrake I’ve connected more trains than most folks have had hot dinners. It used to be my job for three decades.
At seamer it is a cross platform connection. Easily done. I’ve organised it there countless times. Simple customer focussed work. We seem to have lost that sadly.

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

@Carlostheboro @williamBWFCfan @northernassist One minute? No connections would’ve been missed by a one minute wait.

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

@AlwaysRails @BlokeFromCas @TPEassist @northernassist @kevinhollinrake Fair enough, apologies

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

@Greenhough65291 @TPEassist @northernassist @kevinhollinrake Read the post. It was missing the connection by one minute when the request was made. The northern train would’ve recovered that at Hunmanby. It’s an hourly service.

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

@AlwaysRails @BlokeFromCas @TPEassist @northernassist @kevinhollinrake I did 35 years as a signaller, latterly at seamer, so I do know what I’m talking about. So less of the rude clown faces.

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

@TPEassist @northernassist That’s very poor indeed. Thought it was supposed to be a joined up railway nowadays? @kevinhollinrake

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

@railnigel 2N71 was Morecambe Prom to Bradford FS or Leeds, so you’re in the right ball park with Long Preston.

@mgreen100 Beyond my budget …

Wool Exchange, Bradford. One of the most magnificent Victorian buildings in these islands.

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

@RDPHistory @KeithJohnston53 The ‘82 invasion removed the possibility of the islands becoming independent or aligned economically to Argentina/South America.
Because of the invasion it would be political suicide for a UK government to give up the islands.
Things could’ve been very different, but for 1982.

The recording of my talk on holiday making developments and coastal erosion at Skipsea is now available. However it is via a private link, so please message me if you would like to receive the link.

The Battle of Flamborough Head in a Bridlington car park!
Fabulous mural being developed to commemorate the unlikely appearance of the American War of Independence on the Yorkshire coast in 1779.

[David Pendleton @davidpendleton0]

Beautiful day at Hunmanby on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds. I’m here to give a talk on my book ‘On the Tracks of the Flying Scotsman’.
Copies still available from good bookshops .. and online of course.

@Hudsonweather You can’t expect players to commit everything every day if he can’t be arsed.
