Re: Which train service am I on? #4
Okay, as there's been no activity on this page for over a week, I'm gonna bend the rules slightly, and ask a third question in a row. (If this is not acceptable, then you don't have to answer, I just have a particular reason to ask this one.)
During my 'modified' journey on Tuesday (see http://tubeforum.co.uk/forum/index.php? ... c&start=32 - Postlude to "Which train service am I on? #3"), I had cause to travel from Carlisle to Haymarket on the 1500 from Carlisle. This is actually the 1220 from Birmingham New Street to Edinburgh Waverley, and I think it fits all the criteria which have gone before.
So, instead of pressing 'Search', I thought I'd press "I'm Feeling Lucky" this time, so:
Is it the 1220 from Birmingham New Street to Edinburgh Waverley?

All the other criteria fit, bar the time, so it's a no!

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Re: Which train service am I on? #4
In my book, that one (the 1820) only terminates at Preston on a Saturday - but I guess we're assuming it's a weekday service.
Is it the 1620 from New Street to Waverley?

Right, it's the 1420 New Street to Waverley. If not, I guess someone will have to ask the one remaining possibility in my pocket timetable.
So is it?

Just to confuse things even more, Tangy actually started this thread in November, before the timetable change. I don't know if there was any significant change on this particular route.

Re: Which train service am I on? #4
The train still runs in this timetable, but isn't the 1420 ex BHM either

It's not "Where am I?", but "Where is tangy?"

Re: Which train service am I on? #4
the train in question does run both weekdays and Saturdays, in the same departure time from the origin.

Re: Which train service am I on? #4
Does the train in question leave its departure station before 11:00?
