Thanks.

Apologies this is a bit late, but can anyone shed any light on why this was delayed/held nearly an hour between Morley and Batley last night? Thanks

Any ideas from anyone why 1P62 was held up 30 mins at Marsden earlier? A friend was planning on using that to get a flight from Manchester Airport. Cheers

Ah just been told it’s a signalling failure - though National Rail are only reporting a Northbound problem.

1V60 currently at Alnmouth - should have left over 25 mins ago, with a small queue behind it. Any ideas if this is signalling, train or passenger issue?

Anyone know what happened to this servic from KGX to LDS? Running very late at shaky Wakey with several trains overtaking it along the way. Nothing on the LNER app.

True. But at least there was the option. I asked about hot food on EMR when KGX was shut a good few weeks ago and you couldn't even buy any. Just got an eye roll and "do you you usually travel on LNER?" :lol: I loved the restaurant car on the old GNER, complete with silver service. If you picked...

Apologies if already covered - I did a search but didn't find an answer to my question. Is there a national standard as to what is first class, e.g. from the ORR? There seems to be a massive difference between operators these days. EMR and XC seems to be a "premium economy" offering with a bit...

Is it an age thing? I always carry cash as well as my cards and phone. Some (many?) businesses prefer cash as they get a charge for card purchases, though given the prices for onboard catering perhaps the big train companies deserve a charge <D.

:lol:

A lot of trains in India simply don't have doors. Whilst I was never brave (or foolhardy) enough to hang outside like the locals, standing near the large "doorway" was a must

I am an Emergency Medicine consultant and have found some of the responses on here either terrifying, funny (we do a lot of very black humour) or occasionally sensible (thanks for those). Few points.... 1. In our department (full of emergency medicine docs and nurses) we have to have a nominated...

Not any more do doctors work 3 days with no sleep. Usual maximum is 12.5 hours these days. When I was a junior doctor back in the early 80s our weekends were 09:00 Friday morning to 17:00 Monday afternoon. I once had 5 hours sleep over a whole 80 hour weekend.
