    Grand Central Class 180 formations

    Does anyone know why the 180 is in the sidings at Newark Northgate with the yellow contraption around one of its wheel sets?

    Weather disruption Sunday 17th July and following few days

    Slightly ridiculous LNER haven’t implemented ticket acceptance on other routes.

    LNER 2x5 Car

    Please move elsewhere if posted in the wrong category... for the past few days I’ve noticed an increased number of 2x5 car running north of Leeds, and indeed on the kgx-edb route. I thought they were reserved for Leeds to London only?

    LNER Azuma (Class 800/801)

    I finally had my first ride on an azuma this morning. Mixed feelings, but nothing beyond what has already been reported, I tried to remain very open minded regarding the travel experience, however I feel it’s a comfort downgrade from the existing rolling stock provision. I travelled on a 385 to...

    East Coast Trains Ltd

    Just a thought; potential for the competition watchdog to interject on this given First’s existing monopoly in Scotland-London services?

    First Trenitalia (Avanti!) WCML branding, naming and livery

    I just passed a debranded 390 (couldn’t get the number) with a white sticker over its nose cone. Any idea if this is related to the rebrand

    Hypothetically speaking, could a 5 car set work with a 9 car set?

    Interview Under Caution Queries?

    “this section of the forum is to try and help, not to make accusations” I agree with this 100%. We all forget to perform a trivial task every now and then, in this instance the OP forgot to buy a ticket. It doesn’t solicit the uncalled for accusations circulating in this thread. I suggest, if...

    What to do? Passengers on train talking about not having valid tickets

    That’s quite an exaggeration? Like any rational person, I’m sure my neighbours would inform the police when safe to do so. I would be quite happy with that than risking their safety and well-being.

    What to do? Passengers on train talking about not having valid tickets

    I’m confused Why would you bother? Far too much effort when lounging in first class. It’s they’re responsibility to travel with a valid ticket... I hope the guard moved them on or issued the relevant fine. Agree with the previous post; snitches get stitches.

    LNER Azuma (Class 800/801)

    Does this mean the units are no longer causing the interference issues?

    LNER Azuma (Class 800/801)

    Still running on diesel I see, no solution to the interference issues yet?
