So whilst still unclear as to actual events, the union has spoken to the MEN and it doesn't look like an assault happened otherwise they would have said so. The MEN report they put a guy that has had an operation on his foot with a newborn on three wrong trains, then leaving him on the wrong...

They might even allow you more than one triangle of toast for breakfast without scowling at you.

Not seen it recently, but the coach collecting the players used to pull into Euston on the platform area (from the side, near platforms 1-3?) - Seen Wigan and I think City do it

Why stop there? You could apply that to much of the railway if that's your thinking........

"at seat service"....... sake.

In that case, maybe it's time to elaborate on my Wick to Weymouth Harbour sleeper vision......

If they were boarding on time or agreed to extend the Virgin First class lounge opening hours.... There feels a better way of making the impact of these issues a lot easier on the passengers affected, but the desire just doesn't seem to be there. In lieu of running as scheduled, a brew and...

Glasgow - Euston cancelled tonight....

At the expense of a proper transport system. TFGM and Manchester councils blinkered love of all things Metrolink makes me nauseous with their wish to tramify everything, they weirdly see it as Manchester's answer to the London underground. Metrolink is a supplementary system at best but...

Assuming they’ve known about this for a while internally, but it feels like maintenance on the older stock has taken a backseat recently. Could make for a troublesome winter if they now need to keep this lot ticking along well until next year and catch up on work they put off never expecting...

Just enough to lure the idiots on, not enough to keep them there. Perfect.

Very much so, look great although I feel that these are probably a coach too short from the outset. Not too sure what routes these are working, and I’m far from a fan of doors at thirds, but the current stock allows for a large number of standing passengers, the doors at thirds also encourages...

According to twitter sleeper was to be held at Euston and Glasgow/Edinburgh to sleep on with passengers taking the early West/East coast trains in the morning but have since changed this and are now running. Must be confident of it being resolved now.
