    There never was a run round in the usual sense, there was a traverser long enough for a tank engine

    See my Post #77
    Larger engines could use the traverser but had to set back to Tyseley for turning.

    Being a terminus station and built in a confined area, Moor Street used a traverser which allowed the locomotives to be moved sideways instead of reversing back through crossovers:

    How come the SPRS stock is being used and not the usual Tyseley Mk2 rake?

    The answer is earlier in this thread, the Tyesley rake still requires ORR approval for passenger operations - red tape basically.

    Maybe this did hit the SVR Santa programme who have had to resort to discounting late bookings to fill seats risking the wrath of early bookers who paid more for the first time, this service is very accessible to a huge market.

    Unless he meant the Black Friday deal which offered discounted tickets for last weekend?

    The first weekend always has spare seats so a good idea but nothing to do with the VT offering.

    That's all I can think of, not unusual for first weekend to have spare seats and seems good business sense to sell any spare at a last minute discount, to ensure you get some income for them.
