AWC trains to & from London Euston started calling at LPY from yesterdays timetable change; it appears that only 7 car Class 807 Evero units are scheduled to stop there. The 0740 from Lime Street is scheduled to stop at both LPY & HTF but didn’t this morning, and I assume that was because it...

2C06 0845 Plymouth to Penzance is 2 car 150207 today . Returns as 2E13 11.48 to Exeter (3hrs) Used to be a 4 car Castle HST. Somewhat of a downgrade !

Thank you for taking the time to share your views on the Avanti service. We have taken account of all the evidence and feedback, and we have given Network Rail and Avanti the go ahead to arrange for the 7am service to continue running. On the basis of the information we have, we believe the...

Booking an Off Peak Return from Bradford on Avon for a weekday in July. Outbound: The 08.12 from BoA connecting with the 08.44 from Bath to Paddington is shown as available to book as an Off Peak Return But the LC code is ambiguous to me and I do not really understand what it means and...

17 July 2025 14.15 Cardiff train I have contacted GWR customer service. They gave an odd reply saying that it would be more than likely that the train from London would be on time at Swindon and that the "maximum" time for a connection at Swindon was 5mins when I think they meant 'minimum' and...

I have an Advance Single from Paddington to Trowbridge via Swindon. The 14.15 from Paddington arrives Swindon 1508. The Connection departs Swindon 1515 (via Melksham) & arrives Trowbridge 1550. What if this 7mins connection is missed? The next train via Melksham is at 1735 over 2 hours later...

Thank you Andy for the information. I have now booked the ticket through Railforums and was able to choose the seat I wanted from the train seating plan provided on the booking website.

Thank you. Will give it a try… and no booking fee either !

Which online railway ticket purchasing sites allow seats to be chosen and reserved from a seating plan when purchasing non advance tickets eg.an off peak return ? Many of the sites I have looked at merely allocate seats often with no reference to the preferences I have indicated (window...

Does anyone know the planned diagrams for the current Cross Country timetable ?

That is disappointing but not unexpected. Signalling issues seem to appear at numerous locations on a daily basis. Whats the chance of it being re-scheduled?

I received this email from Modern Railways last week regarding tickets for an Avanti record attempt on the London Euston to Glasgow route scheduled for this Wednesday 07/05/2025. The 20 tickets all appeared to sell very quickly. There does not appear to be any timings as yet on Realtime Trains...

Seems odd that 1A99 0901 (from Lime Street ito Euston) is overtaken by1G46 0908 (from Lime Street to Birmingham) between Wavertree Jct. & Runcon? 1A99 due to arrive Runcorn 0932 (31 mins) whereas 1G46 arrives 0925 (17 mins).

Because everytime there is an incident that blocks the line north of Carlisle Avanti cancel everything north of Preston. It is normal and everybody seems resigned to it. Avanti does not seem to be held to accountas to why they cannot at least run some trains as far as Carlisle. It seems to be...
