My sister is currently sat a train on Platform 3 at Peterborough station which I am assuming is the scheduled which arrived at Peterborough 28 minutes late at 18.28. Now officially cancelled. There are also reports of a train being derailed. The official line from the East Coast Official Site...

A few weeks ago, the ticket seller at Stamford station implied that my railcard had faded and I should get it replaced next time I came in. I went to Peterborough station the same day and asked how I go about getting it replaced. The woman I spoke to she added that the photo needed replacing as...

Just off Churchill Road, the top end of town.

As I live in the town on thinking about it I have to agree with you. The houses that surrounds the station were built about 15 years ago. I vaguely remember the dairy that was there previously.

Glad you've got a good impression of Lincoln, got memories of the 16.57 (now the 16.40) one car Class 153 from Lincoln to Newark Northgate.

Would this include Peterborough where First Capital Connect trains terminate despite the station being owned by East Coast?

Yesterday I bought a Young Persons Super Off Peak Return from Peterborough to London Kings Cross including a One Day Travelcard Zones 1-6. On travelling around the capital I noticed my ticket got rejected 3 times, once at Hampstead Tube Station but I reckon that's because I went out, in and back...

Stevenage station was moved a mile north I believe to cater for the new developments. Mudchute and Island Gardens stations on the DLR were relocated as the line was extended to Lewisham.

Stamford had a Platform 3 where the train from Rugby Midland used to terminate. Used to be able to see the track bed until a few years ago.

Got off at Southwark on Saturday to head to Waterloo East, firstly don't know why there are two sets of barriers there. Went through the first set fine, second set "Seek Assistance. Looked to the left no-one there, looked behind the woman at the first set of barriers was just pointing, until I...

Never going to happen but I'd get a Class 170 to run from London Kings Cross to Stamford once a day. Going south in the morning and returning in the evening. Also like a Peterborough - Swindon service.

Saw one East Midlands Train heading Westbound on the stretch of line between Helpston and Stamford at approximately 14.40. Between 13.30 and 13.45, there was a large queue at the north end of Platform 2 at Peterborough Station, with a few taxis in the short stay car park. East Coast were...

Don't know if it's been done yet but on a Saturday, Gainsborough Lea Road - Gainsborough Central via Retford.

Back to Finsbury Park and on the Victoria Line to Seven Sisters for White Hart Lane (Tottenham Hotspur).

My favourite comedy of all time is Porridge. I have watched a lot of them including Dad's Army, Red Dwarf, Bottom, Fawlty Towers etc. I don't find them funny just entertaining.
