What, in your view would make it an unbland(is that an actual word) station? Many stations fall into that category unless its the likes of Weymss Bay, Frontage of Glasgow Central or London St Pancras. Try loitering in the mid-evening at places like Sanderstead or Polocksields. Beaulieu Park and...

Yep, some will stay the same but eveything needs to be double checked as the 'big day' (I loathe that phrase along with 'have a giid one' ) gets nearer. Generally last trains Christmas Eve are the same each year.

I agree, My wife had a lengthy course of dibilitating treatment at Addenbrookes and most times I managed to get a spot in the car park adjacent to the bus station. I was captivated as to how busy it was. Middle, Late afternoon almost every bus on all routes into and out of town left the Bus...

Yes, after I posted I carried on scouting around the network and the last Manchester Piccadilly from London Euston on Christmas Eve departs at 18:53 and terminates at Stockport with Rail Replacement Bus/Coach from Stockport into Manchester, if people have luggage, bags of presents etc...

I just popped Manchester Piccadilly into Real Time Trains for Tuesday 29th December, (I don't know if Monday 28th is a Bank Holiday as Boxing day is a Saturday) and quite a lot of AWC services operating throughout the route from Piccadilly down to London taking 2hours 10mins or so, maybe have a...

I just popped York into Real Time Trains for Tuesday 29th December, (I don't know if Monday 28th is a Bank Holiday as Boxing day is a Saturday) and quite a lot of LNER services operating throughout the whole route, maybe have a look see if this helps with your plans.

My step-son (not a train buff) travelled from Harlow Town (the train originating at London Liverpool Street and calling at Tottenham Hale) to visit us in Suffolk. Changing at Cambridge on an off peak semi fast train he realised it was pretty busy for a late morning service and then watched a lot...

But I don't understand what you mean, Visiting Scientists, Surgeons (for Addenbrookes) and endless other profressions may well travel up from London for visiting, meetings etc etc., Cambridge fasts will be an ideal stop for these passengers and in turn they would need to stop to take people back.

Do you feel services should have still operated from Marylebone?, What would be your priority and how would you activate such a plan?

Not if they have to play Crystal Palace!!!!

Celtic were 3-0 up from the first leg, scored first last night (21mins), so therefore Celtic were 4-0 ahead on aggregate. Celtic then managed to concede 4 goals between the 32nd minute and full time so 4 - 4, and then LESK scored a winner in the 109th minute ending the match as victors 5-4 on...

Nowhere near your example on distance, but the Fareham - Gosport Bus only section of the E routes uses part of the long gone rail line between the two towns.

Stretching the thread just a bit, back in the day day, London Transport Route 37 (Peckham - Hounslow) served Herne Hill, near the Norwoods, West Norwood, Norwood Garage etc and Hounslow fairly near to Norwood Green

Recently I had to check out similiar information on Suffolk and Leicestershire websites which were helpful. Am I right in thinking that from April 2027 the pass will be avlid at all times? Just checked this is from the Blue Badge website, hope it helps a bit The Old Rules (Before April 2027)...

Have a look at Network Rail Future Engineering Works, I got this from an opening summary, its probably a big article which I cant read such things particularly well, hope it helps a bit, Key Planned Works for 2026/27 Christmas and New Year Disruption: Essential engineering works are planned...
