Serious error....

So you watch it too?

My ex-wife's refusal to ever miss an episode was a (small) factor in our demise. It was hard to avoid then if I wanted to spend any time with her.

What I find more shocking than any of the railway stuff is that anyone would admit to being so brain-dead that they watch this turgid badly-written and appalingly acted utter tulipe instead of wasting signifcant parts of their life that they'll never get back.

I only caught a few minutes of it, Mrs Styles watches it. To me it's never been the same since Jack Duckworth gave up the window cleaning round and Reg Holdsworth left.

I thnik the trains go to/from Manchester Piccadilly these days.

A truely shocking error.

I remember getting trains between Leeds and Stafford, and walking between Piccadilly and Victoria. Not bad in fine weather, but a little too far when it's raining or you have heavy bags. There was a shuttle bus at one point.

The last time I did the Piccadilly to Victoria trip was after catching the train from Manchester Airport. Ooh, look! They've got trams this time!

But on the platforms there wasn't a single sign to indicate which direction each platform served. Not a soul around to ask either, for it was a Sunday morning. Yours truly picked the wrong direction, but all turned out well, for I found an excellent mucky boozer which did perfect Boddies and had a good juke box too. I cheated and took a taxi after that.

The next leg was a cock up too. I'd forgotten that Sunday is engineering day on the UK railways, so we ended up on a bus across the Pennines. I did enjoy the scenery though.

I don't do trains now girlfriend, Corrie is my life now, live with it...

OMG....

Most entertaining...

Only trainspotters would care FFS

The terminating platform bays were clearly visible on Corrie, and that was what led me to believe it was a terminus. I should have said that I'm not familiar with any Manchester stations, not just termini.

Apart from one, but I won't go there if you don't mind. Painful memories.

Well you've already said you're 'familiar' with Piccadilly, which is very close to Canal Street where the Batty boys go.

Or, 'anal treet' since some of the letters off the sign have been, let's say.. 'rubbed off'..

I rest my case....

[Doggy Styles]

No, no, no...

Victoria is a through station not a terminus! God!!

Though granted it does have some terminating platform bays, so I won't come round with some of the spotter lads and give you a good spotting, though you deserve it...

We spotters are looking for a ruck so watch it CUK'ers, we are a massive now of at least two if Gricer turns up, but if my mum needs me for the ironing it's just the possibilty of Gricer.

You got that boy?

..on Corrie tonight, Leanne was off to 'that London' cos she'd split up with Peter but she was quite plainly at Manchester Victoria where there are no trains to London Euston, and not only that, Roy Cropper will be going absolutely ballistic at such a catastrophic cock up of these monumental proportions cos he knows that as Corrie's resident train buff, the last train for London from MCV was the 12:24 from platform 4, 4th August 1963. Obvious.

Gricerboy, help me.....

That was the last SCHEDULED service. Groups of enthusiasts (known as bashers) do ,from time to time, charter trains pulled by their favourite class of loco. Regarding MCV, my last bash there was with a Hoover.
I don't know about your soap opera character but is it not beyond the realms of possibility that she was off to enjoy a good bash behind her favourite class of loco? I know for a fact that Violet Carson, who used to play Carnation Street's Ena Sharples, was a big fan of the Cross Pennine Metro Cammell DMUs that used to run between Manchester and Leeds

[stek]

I too spotted that it wasn't Manchester Picadilly, but didn't know which it was, not being familiar with other Manchester railway termini. It certainly does sound a serious error.
