I have some £50 rail vouchers and want to make a journey costing £25. Would the station be able to issue a voucher for the remainder?

Is there an ideological reason behind the opposition to free public transport? As a country, we're pumping out tons of carbon into the atmosphere and the effects are taking their toll. Surely, on a forum like this, a policy of free public transport (with increased taxation to match) would be a...

ECML is going to be broken for the next week. http://twitter.com/cowrin/status/218615010547609600

As much as your car stories are interesting.... :p I think you'll find the A.T.F.C. in Talbot's signature stands for Auchinleck. Hope that illuminates the conversation there!

Does anyone have an idea of the menus on today, and on Thursday?

When I saw this thread, one thought rang clear in my head: With little-Englander attitudes like those shown here shown in the light of day, it's much more likely that Scots will want independence. Congrats!

I'm travelling on Virgin in the next few days and was wondering if any kind member could clue me in on what to expect from the FC offering? Are the menus published online anywhere? I'm travelling on: the 0940 from Glasgow Central to Euston this Friday the 1803 from EUS to Birmingham New...

Congrats, not used to engaging the brain fully at this time of the morning! Ended up with KWN-EUS Adv, EUS-BHM Adv & BHM-KWN Adv Thanks for the advice :)

It's this Friday (3rd Sept) I'm going to London Returning to Birmingham on Sat (4th) Back to Kilwinning on Monday (6th) Is it possible to get an off-peak return instead?

Hi folks - any help would be much appreciated! I'm looking travel from Kilwinning to Euston on Friday on Virgin 1st class (would like to compare their breakfast to EC!), which seems simple enough to me. However on my return on Saturday (after 1730), I'd like to break at Birmingham and finish...

My impression is that you'd get your breakfast offered to you before Darlo, then be offered sandwiches from the trolley as they do their runs.

You've hit the nail on the head there I think. I've been travelling FC twice-monthly for the last few years and recognise most of the staff, however this journey definitely seems like new-starts! I'm on the Scottish 4pm from KGX, so I'm not being offered the evening meal, instead I was given...

Thanks for the condescending response, I really do appreciate it. The point was that the new spec, by nature, is inferior to that which we're used to. Simples.

I'm evidently on one of the trial trains from Kings X at the moment and I've got to say, the service is a definite deterioration on what I'm used to. After getting on 2hrs ago, I've been offered a drink once. I realised I was on the new service when my neighbour got a free glass of vino - when...
