A quick look on the LNER website shows "Signature" northbound on Weekdays and the "Dish" southbound on Saturdays. https://www.lner.co.uk/first-class-travel/menu/first-class-configurable-menu-1/ https://www.lner.co.uk/first-class-travel/menu/first-class-dish-menu/

Maybe try to contact LNER beforehand to see what is likely to be offered between York and Newcastle? I suppose you could book the Signature train (if you're not bothered about timings) and hope for the best with them both being the same price. I suspect you're right that they wouldn't offer...

Nationalrail infers there are two seperate fires: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/harrow-on-the-hill-20260828/

Thank you for that.

How strange. Thank you for your help.

*Stirling. :wink: I'm guessing either it's less congested/more paths available for Lumo and/or potentially cheaper for them.

Hi all, I've just randomly noticed on Trust that Voyager 220001 appears to have an anomaly in it's formation at the moment: 60301 60727 60201 60401 What's happened with 60701 vehicle? Am I right to assume 60727 is from 22027- is 027 also out of service or is this also using vehicles from...

I've been on the Railway for over a decade in a Ticket Office role and soon after I joined I started applying for Conductor jobs at several different TOCs to no avail. I've also tried to get a similar job to what I do in a different part of the UK, as I'm looking to relocate. Still not got...

Sounds good! No Railcard discounts as far as I'm aware- I've just tried Leeds to Newton Abbot with Disabled Railcard and it still only offered £50. Edit: I've just realised the Weekday rate simply seems to be twice the cost of the Weekend upgrade cost. Not sure if that's the case on all journeys.

Yes you're right. Although naturally I suspect most, if not all of these upgrades would undercut the cost of the alternative First Off Peak/First Anytime ticket, with the upgrade onboard option being much cheaper. e.g. Manchester Picc to Bristol Temple Meads Standard Class Off Peak Return=...

Thank you. I wonder whether this is a way of giving Train Managers a potential way of trying to sell spare First Class seats on the day when Standard is unsurprisingly rammed. Also I question whether Cross Country officially forbid Advance Standard Class ticket holders from buying these...

I recently travelled First Class on TPE from Manchester Picc to Preston (as part of a much longer journey) and noticed how little the Catering Staff did. [Both members of Catering Staff stood chatting in the little Kitchen area behind the Driver's Cab for most of the journey from Manchester to...

Hi all, Whilst looking on Journey Planner for a Cross Country journey, I noticed a new ticket type which I've not come across before- XCW- "Weekday First Class upgrade." e.g. Aberdeen to Plymouth= £60 Manchester to Bournemouth= £40. Does anyone know if there are any time restrictions...

I think it's ridiculous that some TOCs e.g. EMR seem to take the biscuit with First Class catering, considering how little they could spend and still offer customers what most customers would perceive to be a much more satisfactory offer. I guess if all of EMR's current First Class food is...

"We're sorry that this train has now been cancelled so please return to the Platform." ... "Oh Happy Days!"
