I thought this was interesting. I live next to Skipton sidings and I had the Environmental Health Officer from Craven District Council visit me on Friday. There had been a number of complaints from my neighbours about the noise the "new" Class 331 units make throughout the night. Apparently...

The P&R is moving to St. Erth. But I thought the number of trains stopping at the Saltings was just going to be reduced?

I think this is right: 1. Elslack - Skipton to Colne line 2. Skipton - Airedale line 3. Embsay - Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway

This has been talked about for a couple of years at least, so, if they carry on talking about it, no! As I understand it the station will be built on the Leeds - Harrogate line. The new "route" is for the shuttle bus to run to and from the airport.

Thanks, yes looks like it. NRE now shows the £5 ticket and directs me to London Northwestern Railway to buy it. However neither they nor Northern have caught up yet as both say "No tickets are available"!

Fascinating. Thank you for that Indigo2. So you're actually stuffed either way and there is no single ticket available for the journey that is valid on a Sunday. The remaining choices being the 2 ILK - SHY - KLF singles (£6.70 total) or 2 ILK - LDS - KLF singles (£8.00 total). Which...

I’ve just had an excruciating exchange of tweets with Northern but, combined with a bit of research of previous posts on here, I think I’ve got there in the end. Posting for interest. And confirmation. It all started with seeing my daughter off home on Sunday afternoon from Ilkley [ILK] to...

I thought I would add my recent MCard experience as it's been a bit of a faff. Background is that my daughter starts college in Leeds today, we live in Skipton so decided to go down the time-honoured route of season to Steeton & Silsden combined with a 16-25 MCard. We bought the season ticket...

So you check, notice some missing, what then? When it happened to me there was a massive queue at both the tickets for today and advance ticket counters. The OP only had 10 minutes to make their train.

I had a similar problem with a ticket machine at Kings Cross last Thursday. It was the second one in from the left in the main ticket hall. I should have received 3 coupons and it only printed one. I suspect these machines print from 2 rolls, as I have noticed differences between the stock, and...

Thank you for the advice, I must get myself onto Twitter - I've put it off for far too long! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Fourteen minutes! @billyboy this option is still there, please go to the next page & it's under "network Gold card" . . . I obviously wasn't looking...

The Gold Card discount option has recently disappeared from the ticket machines at Waterloo. I haven't bothered emailing South West Trains to ask why as it took them 3 months to reply to my last email :rolleyes:.

. . . be worth something not to be stuck for hours in a traffic jam on the M5. If you cost that journey at the HMRC rate of 45p/mile and compare that to the discounted fare with a family and friends railcard, they're not that far apart.

I buy two supplements at Waterloo, so from South West Trains, to accompany a Gold Card Off-Peak Return i.e. returning on a different day. The one for outbound would say "From LONDON TERMINALS To PORTSMOUTH HBR For use on direction OUT" and the one for the return would say "From PORTSMOUTH HBR...

It wasn't completely without problem - there was a speed restriction through Litchfield Tunnel :)
