    Class 810 for East Midlands Railway Construction/Introduction Updates

    I have tried looking in the thread for the answer, but when the 810 was put into service, was there a single test unit for passenger service or multiple passenger units put onto diagrams to see how they perform before rolling out more units?

    EMR to introduce reduced Inter City service from Monday 20th July

    And that's why they lost me as a long term customer. I only use EMR if they come within a tenner of the alternatives.

    EMR to introduce reduced Inter City service from Monday 20th July

    I would certainly go for easement restrictions. Even if only for the emergency timetable. When I use the 19.02 the 10 car is full but not bursting but a 5 car is going to be very cosy to say the least, especially when you know the next train isn't for an hour.

    EMR to introduce reduced Inter City service from Monday 20th July

    Thought about doing a super off peak trip to London with the kids. Oh, the 19.02 has less carriages, assume 5 instead of 10. OK, if that's full get the 19.32, oh that's cancelled completely. In the car to Mum's then Thameslink it is then.

    Quick paytrain question, could you buy through tickets from the conductor or could they only sell tickets to destinations served by the train?

    Marylebone Dual Boarding

    I was on the 21.02 to Sheffield on 25/04 and the 10 car arrived and split but they surprised me by having the front half the 21.05 to Nottingham and our train went from a different platform. We had a 5 car Azuma. I heard at least 3 announcements telling the Nottingham crowd to move down and...

    Rail replacement buses vs. longer train journeys - choices by passengers in engineering works

    Sheffield station Sunday was like the last helicopters out of Saigon. Arrived to drop my Mum off for the 14.51 20 minutes early only to find a 5 car Meridian rammed to high heaven. Even 1st Class was full and standing and denied boarding and told to go to the 5 car behind that would be the...

    Should TfL extend more bus routes beyond Greater London? (and wider discussion regarding redefining London)

    The 107 is the only public transport link to Barnet General Hospital where most Wood residents get referred. Its much quicker and convenient than the alternative which is Watford if the 107 stopped at the boundary. Before I left the Wood it was used by me and a quite a few others to get to...
