New stations on RTT!!!

Stuart Boyd • Feb 12, 2020

A few 2020 station openings have started to appear on Real Time Trains!

 Horden (Horden Peterlee)

To be honest I find it hard to believe that the station will be completed and open by May. But let's be optimistic, if they throw lots of labour at the project, and run into no problems then it could happen I suppose.


Horden, or Horden Peterlee I first thought it was going to be... Anyway, whatever it is going to be called is now appearing on Realtime Trains as a public call from the May timetable change. As you can see from the image above it is showing 28 services per day (Monday - Friday).

 Bow Street

Bow Street on the Cambrian Coast seems to be making good progress now. As can be seen from the photo there is now a platform under construction. Given that it's a single track station it shouldn't take to long for this to be built. Optimism is high for a May opening. 


On Real Time Trains it is showing as a stop, but an unadvertised stop. One would assume to save any hassle should it not be open in May. 


Showing 31 services calling at Bow Street per day (Monday - Friday)

Kintore

As can be seen in the image that the station now has two (nearly) complete platforms. It is honestly hard to see how this will not be open in May... I am that confident of it opening in May I have planned to visit at the start of June. 


Currently on Real Time Trains it is only showing services on a Sunday. I assume this is due them still working on the timetables for the rest of the week.


On a Sunday it is showing 22 services per Sunday, including one that is direct to Glasgow Queen Street. 

Something to keep in mind is that all the above is subject to change. It's interesting to see though that these new stations are starting to appear on Real Time Trains. Planners are starting to plan which means someone, somewhere is optimistic!

To read more about new stations due to open in 2020 and beyond take a look at my previous blog here: https://www.everylaststation.co.uk/proposed-stations-to-open-in-2020

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this quick blog.

Catch ya all soon with another blog.

Kildale station is located on the very scenic Esk Valley Line that runs from Middlesborough to Whitby. From the June 2024 timetable change the station will see 8 trains per day, 4 in each direction! Although this is a limited service it does give you the opportunity to do some exploring of the area.

I set of on a walk with my sisters dog and headed for the disused canal from Kendal. I followed along disused canal to the village of Natland. I then swapped the disused canal for the river. After following the riverside path, I came across a footbridge that I had planned to use, annoyingly it was closed! Annoyingly I was planning to use this footbridge, due to this there was a lenghty diversion. Thankfully the diversion wasn't a total waste of time, I was able to walk through the beautiful Sizergh Castle and then head back up to my original route plan and headed to Helsington church and view point. After spending a little time chatting with my Dad (who's ashs was scattered there) me and Bailey then headed up to Scout Scar before setting of back down towards Kendal. Upon reaching the River Kent I decided that my feet was still feeling good and I headed back along the river to Hawes Bridge. I then headed up into the village of Natland and then up to Oxenholme where my walk came to an end!

This walk was a tail of two halves! The day started with walking through Reading suburbs and then through the city centre. Things mid morning took a positive turn as we headed to the The Kennet and Avon Canal which I then followed for the remaineder of the day. Only hopping away from the canal to go on to station platforms. A very enjoyable walk, even in the scorching heat! Stations visted today was: Reading, Reading West, Theale, Aldermaston & ended the day at Midgham. By walking between Aldermaston and Midgham I actually have managed to get a station ahead on my plan which can only be a good thing as I head down to the more difficult reagions of Somerset & Devon next week. Until tomorrow :)

Todays walk was a little bit of a tough one, mainly due to the excessive heat which is only going to get worse as the week goes on. Thinking there will be some early starts coming up to try and miss the worst of the heat! Today was a mixture of roads and walks across fields. Discovered there is some beautiful countryside between Maidenhead and Twyford. I strongly encourage you to take this walk! Stations visited today: Burnham, Taplow, Maidenhead and ended at Twyford. Was great to have Nick Badley along with me today. Make sure to check out and subscribe to his YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@NickBadley . After the walk myself and Nick headed to Windsor where we met up with Coastway Will and had a Nandos dinner where the unlimited refils was very much used again and again! Until tomorrow :)

Todays walk saw me starting at Southall and heading straight to The Grand Union Canal. We followed this for most of the walk today. Stations called at today was: Hayes & Harlington, West Drayton, Iver, Langley before finishing the walk at Slough. Was great to have pals Jack and Dave with me today. Laughed for the most part, especially when we got the wrong place for the London/Buckinghamshire borders. That video on twitter got filmed twice lol. Massive thank you to everyone supporting the event via donations to either/both: Donate to Samaritans: https://justgiving.com/page/greatwesternwalk Support me with the challenge: https://www.gofundme.com/f/GreatWesternWalk My photos from today are below.

The first day of the walk from London Paddington to Southall saw me call at Acton Mainline, Ealing Broadway, West Ealing & Hanwell. On the way we saw unexpected viaducts, fancy McDonalds, pretty gardens & nice market squares. Today I was joined by a couple of friends who can be found online at the following places, Please do check their accounts out.

On 31st July at just before 5am Thanet Parkway became Britain's newest station in Great Britain (at the time) and is the first station to open in Kent since Ebbsfleet International opening in 2007. As you approach the station you are greeted with what looks like a lovely and well designed station. The car park complete with 293 spaces which includes 16 spaces for Blue Badge holders and a number of charge points for electric vehicle charging. BUT, here is the stations first of several oversights: none of the vehicle charge points are in one of the 16 Blue Badge spaces and the charging bays don't have enough space for those with limited mobility to get in and out of their cars. As we approach the station from the car park the actual station looks rather impressive. The brick work along with the stylish mettle mesh on the stair case and lift shaft really makes it look the part. There is also some raised flower beds which add to the overall positive experience of the station .
