Seems they've been a bit more proactive today after having nothing yesterday. I can see the notes do say it's only updated monday to Friday 8-5 Looks like they've also put on a replacement bus service today. Pics seem to suggest it's an old well under the track possibly from an old coal mine...

I saw the video but it's one of those cases of social media being able to portray something in a certain way but without the context we don't know what happened It seems odd he was letting others on but not them which makes me think either: -he simply didn't see them as trying to board and was...

I can force the LNER app to give me an itinerary via Westgate fully by train for Chesterfield to Normanton

It seems the trend in recent years is to start serving more stations that used to be closed on Sundays, there have been a few openings, agree this should be one considered along with the rose hill marple line

Good to see other operators stepping up but ultimately there is the core east west node that only Cross-country serve and there doesn't really seem to be any alternative from Derby/Leicester to Birmingham Are other operators really allowing via London for all those on that journey or is the...

Is there somewhere reliable for live updates/service information that is kept up to date that I'm missing? I just boarded a tram at Sheffield station and the conductor immediately told everyone that there was no service between Gleadless and Halfway today due to a sinkhole appearing. However...

You even see it on the tube, despite the trains fitting the exact platform length so never an issue of being in a place where doors don't open. Instinctively I move to the far end

Is there nothing to hold EMR to account here? All other train operators are running normally but EMR have just blanket cancelled all trains west of Sheffield all weekend and the robin hood line nothing has been running I understood the restrictions during the last heatwave and thought LNER for...

On the face of it, it seems like everything has held up very well during the original 2 days of "do not travel" Let's hope everything doesn't completely break down tomorrow when many were told to defer their travel to up until last night 1782421746 The annoying thing is (and correct me if I'm...

That makes sense, the met office wouldn't be planning for the railways. But you'd like to hope the railways would at least look at the forecast and adjust their messaging accordingly. The do not travels are still all for today/tomorrow despite many routes being forecast to have higher...

Lots of advice to not travel Tomorrow/Thursday and especially from LNER to travel Friday instead yet looking at ventusky.com Friday is now set to be the hottest day for most of the LNER route

Interesting decision that they've relaxed ticket restrictions each day+ offering to travel Monday/Friday Hopefully a positive, though with taking on all the extra EMR passengers too, could lead to some very crowded services

Maybe LNER will regret their "compulsory reservation" settings finally You can't currently book any of their services

EMR 170 have arguably the most comfortable standard class seating on the network in the front/rear segment that presumably were once first class compartments? A lot of passengers, even on crowded services, don't realise these are standard class Very comfy wide seats and standard class...

Lucky enough to visit this new line for the first time today having previously lived in the area. Great to see it operational and working well The only thing I found slightly odd was ashington station seems to have been fully been built to the west. While many stations on this line are not...
