If only they demolished both Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and built a brand new one in the Falkirk area serving both. I'm sure it could've easily become as big as Dublin or Manchester destination wise and effectively been a hub. And I'm sure it would've been a good candidate for US pre-clearance.

Currently there's been plenty of times an 807 has been swapped for a 390 on the Liverpool runs and South Parkway was skipped. But according to this random RTT search I made for a Sunday in June 2018 (using the paid feature), back then Virgin Trains terminated at South Parkway during engineering...

Thats why the wheelchair carriage should be in the middlemost one on all stock. With two or three spots. The 700s do this very well. Why is it desirable to put them in end coaches? You'd also have a common area on the platform for wheelchair users to board.

Anyone know why all four sleeper services last night/this morning are running 2+ hours late?

They don't usually send 20 late trains via the Trent Valley, tends to be if a bit later than that. It is the one downside of combining Scotland - Birmingham - Euston. I don't see why they should be prioritising on time arrival into Euston when the faster 1Mxx service already exists.

Were the 225s well used for GLA to EDB travellers before EGIP? Despite running a longer route, they were surely more luxurious than the 170 offering via Queen Street back then.

Yesterday I seen Evanescence and Poppy at Co-op live. A fantastic show. Next one is Spiritbox tomorrow in Glasgow :D

The visit to Cheadle was to spend time trainspotting. I did not leave the station and had no idea this would even cause issues given it's in the itinerary. I did indeed increase the change time to 120 minutes to spend more time there. Therefore was I in the wrong?

Not to mention I didn't even leave the station!

Hi, I am currently on a train between Cheadle Hulme and Crewe. The guard scans my ticket fine and says no problem. However 10-15 minutes later someone who was doing ticketing surveys on behalf of Northern scans it and says that Advance Tickets cannot be broken mid-journey. But what I don't...

Not to mention E&G being 4tph all day Saturdays.

Inspired to post this whilst travelling on a Class 730. I have to say the (accessible) toilets on these units are poorly designed, with the sink being too small and the water hole being at the very edge rather than in the middle of it, meaning the floor ends up soaked when the train begins...

They'd be better off at Kingmoor Yard, atleast platform 1 isn't the main platform of Carlisle.

I was thinking something like Tottenham Court Rd Elizabeth line. Again this could be very far out considering it's London we are talking about with all its commuters, but that and Stratford (Elizabeth line) on Saturdays I can imagine are very busy.

Could be going out on a limb, but somewhere touristy like Edinburgh Waverley surely is busier on Saturdays than any of Monday-Friday. I also think other leisure stations like Windsor and Eton Riverside (for Legoland) would be busier on weekends.
