Where are you on the transport network?

- Start date
It all started with Oxenholme becoming 'Oxenholme the Lake District". Next thing, it was 'Penrith the North Lakes'. I assume 'Carlisle the great border city' is only a matter of time in the announcements as per the signs in the station.
(To the uninitiated, fast trains on the West Coast Mainline always used to stop at bloody Oxenholme, even when they weren't stopping at major stations. Often no-one would get on or off. It was also pre-mobile phones where the guard would call stations up-line to hold local connecting trains when there were delays which used to be all the time.)
Mayor? It's a tiny place. It's on the branch line for Windermere but that's not exactly jumping either. Remoteness? Entry to the Lake District? Adverse weather? Who knows? (I bet someone on here does though!)
They used to call Carlisle and hold the local trains from there. Once they even organised minibuses from Carlisle as they couldn't hold the local trains any longer.

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Yeah, did the Hounslow loop and then through Staines and up to Addlestone before joining the mainline. I was on that line yesterday, less than a third of folk wearing masks…
Station looks a bit like Egham.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Oh yes!Is that a sand train?

It’s ok. Seats in first slightly better than the normal ironing board style. WiFi actually working. Even some of the seats line up with the windows! Not as good as the old stock which ran on this route far longer than elsewhere, but not much in the UK is.

Sorry, I think you meant the Stafker on the GY Norwich leg? They are excellent for branch line stock, great seats and far far better than what was on before.

Thought so. It’s a great bit of kit.

hmm
the sign obviously belongs at liverpool street, but there's obviously some sort of catch.
it doesn't look old enough to be an obsolete sign that's been removed and taken somewhere else
the whole thing looks new and clean, so i'm thinking it might be the new bit for crossrail / elizabeth line / whatever the heck it's called this week?
