Just left Euston 44 mins late. Well done Network Rail.

Currently sat at Euston aboard 1030 to Glasgow at 11:10. Informed a cable needs to be replaced by Network Rail.

At the end of June this year, I tried to book something in Inverness but gave up due to the prices. Ended up booking a Travelodge in Aberdeen for less than half the price. The location wasn't a problem as I was using an ALR ticket.

In my experience, if you book assistance at Euston, you will be transported to your coach around ten minutes before anyone else boards.

Always been known as "Crows" by us in Notlob. :(

Thank you, as I couldn't think of any engineering reason, my next thought was staff shortage.

Does anyone know why there isn't a Sunday service between Lostock Junction and Crows Nest Junction (Bolton to Wigan) before Christmas 2026? Services are operating from Wigan Wallgate to Salford Crescent.

Avanti staff at Piccadilly are to walk-out on Saturday over a staff dismissal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c629842g6nlo

Of course, I could be wrong, but my info comes from checking on RTT as far as it has info available. I do travel through Salford Crescent, and it does look to be very much in the final " getting ready" stages and I expect it would normally be a timetable change type of introduction before we see...

Nothing is shown to be stopping on P3 before 2027.

Wow! I'd never heard of Tiger before; isn't it, well, wonderful! BTW, I normally get a lift on the Disability Buggies if I arrive early enough, which gets me on well in advance of anyone else. There are advantages to being old and knackered sometimes. :) 1780513359 Thanks for the help. I shall...

No, I've been checking the northbound trains around 1830. Strange that RTT shows the symbol.

I was marshalling at Brands Hatch "Druids" some years ago at a F3000 race. Chatting to a cameraman, he said he was filming for an Italian service and was told he could not get the "KODAK Bridge" in shot. Very difficult when the cars came up from "Paddock" under it.

I will shortly be using a 1st-class ALR. On checking a few Avanti services to and from Euston, I'm getting a " Compulsory reservations" note on all trains I have checked. Can I not turn up and go, as my journeys will be very flexible?

I thought it was the best race since Silverstone 1987. Remember when fewer than 10 cars finished races regularly?
