@PJPWv2 @northernassist Ok Dave, let’s agree to disagree and say I am an idiot, at least this idiot can hold their bowel movements for 30 mins cause they’re not a toddler…

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@PJPWv2 @northernassist I don’t believe it’s a god given right that trains should have working toilets… so I’m going to go with no…

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@PJPWv2 @northernassist So you’d rather the train was cancelled? Definitely won’t have a toilet then.

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@CharlieRWalker I’m so sorry you had to deal with 156416 😅

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@Clinnick1 @My_Metro Do you know if this means two units in total? (one on yellow one on green) or if one unit is going to have a special timetable that covers both lines?

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@HarleysTravels Im not sure if there’s any truth behind it, I know it left by truck but it definitely didn’t get scrapped a year ago 😅

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@chriscollins462 @IshaqAli156 @northernassist Ahhh fair one, unsure what the cause of the inbound delay was then, but 22 minute turnaround at Carlisle for splitting two units, carrying out brake tests etc. doesn’t seem much of a failure, just not much padding in the timetable to allow for that

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@IshaqAli156 @chriscollins462 @northernassist Bulk of the delay was from the inbound journey, likely knock on effect of the passenger taken ill

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@jerryalderson @Captain_Deltic @philatrail That is down to the retailer, tickets bought from National Rail just show Greater Anglia, but honestly if the railways biggest problem was showing previous operators I doubt the public would be as annoyed as they are.

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@O_TTravels Im told on good authority this is a booked move on a Sunday now since the timetable change. Makes sense considering they spent all that money renewing the couplers.

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@ChimeWhistle That’s just silly considering it fits…

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@CricketAleTrain @ChimeWhistle Well that’s not balance is it…

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@CricketAleTrain @ChimeWhistle as with everything its a fine balance, if it was more "efficient" it would be doing more mileage, which means more maintenance, and the cost for that is only going to get passed down to the passenger...

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@ChimeWhistle They already do at Blackpool North, don’t even need to take a photo, if you have a camera in your possession they’re onto you

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@chiltern_lane One can dream, the current vinyls on the 172 fleets are absolutely awful to photograph, even in full shadow they look extremely dull

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@CharlieRWalker @alexhornbyrail Allegedly, 1 of the 4 156s at Ely is going to be used for parts, which then leaves 3 which is the magic number to displace some 158s for the Ashington line... That is all just a theory though.

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@aodhan_horsman @northernassist It’s not as easy as using 158s from other diagrams. All the diagrams on the Northumberland Line end their day at Heaton so are often used to get units back to the depot (and at a reasonable time) for maintenance. Plus 156s have more capacity for those busier services!

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@chriscollins462 @aodhan_horsman @northernassist 156s accelerate faster than a 158 and have shorter dwell times so happily keep to time on the Northumberland Line hence they are often used (and will continue to get used).

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

Hi @LNER any idea why we’ve been crawling at 10mph for the last 10 minutes on 1S15 (1203 KGX to INV)? Thanks

[railwork @railworkRBLX]

@DownOnTheStour I notice the 158s aren’t coupled, probably because if they were then they’d fail
