    GTR Summer Holiday Cancellations

    It is particularly concerning that, despite quite a number of days having passed since these cuts were announced, that the detail being made explicitly available to rail users is extremely opaque, to the extent that many will only find out the hard way, when they arrive at the station, on the...

    LNER Stevenage Pickup/Setdown

    I am pleased to see that, during the very considerable disription today, LNER trains to Kings Cross are being shown on the "Live Departures from Stevenage" on the National Rail web site. Thankfully, I do not need to travel today, but presume that the information given to those arriving in order...

    ECML Over running engineering work (19 January)

    While the disruption is, of course, unwelcome, I am pleased to see LNER services to Kings Cross (which are now set down only under normal circumstances) appearing on the "Stevenage Live Departures" on the National Rail app. I have not seen this previously at times of disruption.

    Avanti West Coast via Settle (for WCML Bridge replacement next January?)

    LNER Stevenage Pickup/Setdown

    Thank you very much for this accurate report of the situation on the ground this evening. This is not unexpected, but is deeply disappointing. As a Stevenage rail user myself, I hope that many of those affected will voice their concerns to LNER.

    LNER Stevenage Pickup/Setdown

    According to the "Status & Disprution" page this is indeed so, but if I look in "Live Departures" between Stevenage and Kings Cross and vice versa all LNER services are absent (as per the new normal). What use is this to intending passengers? Despite verbal assurances that I was given at the...

    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    Apologies for going off-topic, but further to the above, I have heard it said on good authority that the LNER dwell times at Stevenage were to be reduced to a mere 45 seconds from the December timetable change and that this was a major reason for making calls pick up and set down only. Reading...

    Recommendation for escorted rail tour of Vietnam & Cambodia

    Thank you for mentioning Mercury Holidays as I had not seen its tours, but noted with interest that it operates a tour in China that includes the line to Lhasa, which is definitely on my to do list, at an extremely attractive price. Unfortunately, having just contacted Mercury, it currently has...
