Thanks. She's just (1733) received a message from Avanti saying that her train (1638) has been cancelled. :rolleyes:

Thanks, yes, they could have got this one at Glasgow but were concerned there would be no seats. Changing at Crewe could be an option though if it's a bit quieter. EDIT - I see it's from Liverpool - sorry for the confusion!

Hi, My daughter and her husband were booked on the 1638 Glasgow Central to London Euston (eventual destination Stevenage). This was cancelled and they took "next available" which was 16:51. I can't find that one anywhere on RTT but think it may be one from Edinburgh that started from Glasgow...

There are sites such as Realtime Trains and OpenTraintimes that do this. The former would appear to agree with Virgin though: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P58485/2019/09/14

Many passengers will also regard LNER as a route rather than an operator. Occasional travellers often neither know or care who runs the trains and are often penalised as a result.

My question was: ...which elicited the previous answer (after a while). Subsequent posts directed them to the NRE page but they have not had a reply.

New LNER announcement? "Off-Peak tickets ARE valid for travel on this service EXCEPT for the ones that are only valid on LNER trains." :lol:

Thanks for all the replies. Bear in mind that the "Weekday Super Off Peak" only appeared this week alongside the beneficial removal of evening restriction on the Off Peak. For just 50p less it doesn't seem worth the hassle. I doubt most occasional day-trippers are aware of the LNER fares (or...

There has been talk of an "Easier Fares" initiative to reduce the complexity of ticketing and give the travelling public a reasonable shot at getting the best fare for their intended journey. However, things seem to be getting increasingly muddled. Taking the example in the title the following...

A couple of weeks ago it was noticed that National Rail was showing tickets (specifically seasons) from Great Northern stations to London Terminals had become valid to Liverpool Street. A couple of us mentioned this to the GN Twitter Team half expecting to hear that it was a mistake but, to...

Now he won't let her out. How can this still be happening? Twitter thread

Sorry, had to share this one with you as I find it incredible! Appeared on the GN Twitter feed around 15:50 today: Passenger: The member of staff at New Barnet station, [name redacted], is refusing to let me in the station. I have a season ticket London terminals to Oakham via any permitted...
