Sunderland (A) Ticket Sales 12:53 - Nov 4 with 1762 views | pennblue | We only seem to have one block in the corner for sale. Have we sold out the other three already? How many we sold, any ideas? I think we need 2,000 up there to make ourselves heard [Post edited 4 Nov 2021 12:54]

What was our allocation ? Blue Army to receive initial allocation of 2,032 tickets So we might have sold 1,500 already? sounds a lot [Post edited 4 Nov 2021 13:26]

Thing is it’s not even bus replacement just ‘diversions’ and slower speed. |  |

Do other countries railway networks have continual engineering works that disrupt service? Or is that a peculiarly British thing? |  |

Its the german's fault.... many european rail networks were re-built after ww2. Whereas we still have our victorian network. One of the arguments for HS2, is that its not actually about speed ( because really, who needs to save 15 minutes on a trip between London and Manchester). Its about capacity. A new modern line will enable us to take pressure off the existing lines, allowing maintenance to be less intrusive, and allow more frequent services of those places currently bypassed by the express trains.
