If you go to the website and click on 'tickets and timetable' as I've just done, you'll find......no timetable! The only thing you can do is go to tickets and look at the times of trains that you can book and work it out from there. I must say...

I would have thought that, if they could be moved by rail from Carnforth to Hull, they could have been moved by rail from East Grinstead to Hull.

3ABescot liked twr12's post in the thread Saphos 2025.
I believe there has been, for many years, a conspiracy between Network Rail, DfT & ORR to allow lineside vegetation to grow and not be controlled. It’s practically cartel behaviour. For NR & DfT it’s clearly cost cutting, but the Safety...

3ABescot liked The Green Howards's post in the thread Saphos 2025.
