You're right - the 2010 freight timetable IS the most up-to-date one on the site.

I've never encountered any problems at Preston Station from any sort of official.

Just a point regarding the log trains. I was under the impression that they go south over the S & C and join the WCML at Farrington junction. I might be wrong on this one so don't take it as gospel
