@GuyJBaldwin @rcolvile This. The poor sod doesn't realise he's not the Prime Minister of Greater Manchester and it's annoying as all shit.

@kobaefly @archpng Exactly, it's not preservation. It's restoration, as the post says.

@Ganiyat2511 y'all this is troye sivan 😭

@KevinKalinows10 @schrumbly @ZP33T ...issues if the ride computer checks on how many cycles sent vs. the last logged maintenance intervals.

[Dan @dw1812_]

@KevinKalinows10 @schrumbly @ZP33T It's not i/o stuff that's identifying. The ride computer has a counter that counts the number of dispatches per train, as there's a flagging assembly onboard. Say the manufacturer sets a maint. interval - you now cannot use the computer data for that anymore, and it may cause...

[Dan @dw1812_]

@schrumbly @ZP33T It does, as each train has unique identifiers in the chassis for the computer to use

@coasters_bgw oh god oh fucj

@CricketAleTrain @Prita_o81 @lfgReading @lfg_uk It's actually the same people who run the trains who do that route!

[Dan @dw1812_]

@paultrowntree No, I mean that just because it's drawn off the line that also happens to go to Loughborough Junction, doesn't mean that the two will be served by the same train. Only thing wrong with the diagram is your interpretation. It's not a service map.

[Dan @dw1812_]

@Trackcoon @KingsDominionVA Might wanna check in with your ops on this one 😶

[Dan @dw1812_]

@AilishSimpson @Irate_Jobbie @philydc3 @AvantiWestCoast @_thisisscotland Yes, because it's a closer journey from London, more passengers are likely to use it at half 5 on their way home as far as Preston.

It's supply & demand. Also, you can't use the Motherwell tkt for Preston as it's an advance tkt. Doesn't matter that it's run on the same train.

[Dan @dw1812_]

@Irate_Jobbie @AilishSimpson @philydc3 @AvantiWestCoast @_thisisscotland Maybe you're just thick.

[Dan @dw1812_]

@Irate_Jobbie @philydc3 @AvantiWestCoast @_thisisscotland Do I? I've done my training (pun not intended), I'm not hypothesizing here, this is what I was taught. They may be the same train, but the arrival time dictates that it's a different product - the demand is completely different.

[Dan @dw1812_]

@AilishSimpson @Irate_Jobbie @philydc3 @AvantiWestCoast @_thisisscotland With very different arrival times; the arrival time dictates whether a train is peak or off-peak. One could reasonably expect somebody to make a long-distance commute by this service from London to Preston, but not Motherwell, which is why there's a big difference in price.

@aaaronson @thiagovscoelho @xkittybell If we're counting other languages, "sur" is in fact a word in French - it means "on".

[Dan @dw1812_]

@Irate_Jobbie @philydc3 @AvantiWestCoast @_thisisscotland I'm not being dense. I used to work for that TOC. It may be the same train, but the arrival times are very different. That's what dictates peak vs off peak. One trip just about gets you home in time for late tea, the other one doesn't. Different market segments.

[Dan @dw1812_]

@philydc3 @AvantiWestCoast @_thisisscotland ...not serving the same portion of the travelling public and serves two different needs. Expensive, yes, but not a ripoff. @AvantiWestCoast correct if wrong?

[Dan @dw1812_]

@philydc3 @AvantiWestCoast @_thisisscotland They do get it, actually. It's just arriving before 9pm is still pretty much an evening commute, hence peak fares. Arriving at 11pm is a lot less convenient and hence isn't expected to be a heavily used journey flow, so is priced off peak. It's priced differently because it's...
