    I suspect there will be a (colour-coded) school holidays table produced soon....

    How many steam locos will NYMR be starting their 2026 season with, and are any due to enter traffic during the year?

    I hope the timetable hasn't been printed yet!

    Sundays are unworkable. On the blue timetable there's a collision planned between Sleights and Grosmont around 1053.
    The 0930 ex Pickering cannot leave Grosmont before 1109. Would it not be best to start this at 0950?
    There are other errors.

    Version 2.0 next week?

    Perhaps staging collisions is an NYMR attempt to provide something different and bring in the crowds. It would be a USP as I don't think any other railway does it. ;);)

    Maybe they are just assuming Northern will not have any drivers or guards on a Sunday. Still an issue from what I read elsewhere.;)
    No not a great look to get it wrong but:
    1) It does not have any impact until the last week in July so I doubt anyone from the general public has really noticed.
    2) They have had it proof read for free by some folks on here.

    Mind you my local line has put up timetable posters on the station this week that do not align with the timetable on the internet or what has actually happened since Thursday. Not really the end of the world, mistakes happen in "real life" as well. Made plenty on my contracts over the years.

    We all make mistakes. Of that there is no doubt. It is the number of them that gives cause for concern. However, I guess if you divide the total number of mistakes by the total number of empolyees, it might be a reasonable number.

    Isn't the Northern dispute only the North West staff not the North East? They are on two different contracts the NE one rosters Sunday working but the NW is classed as overtime.
