    Heatwave 22-27 June - effect on the UK Railway

    My significant other is going to Edinburgh, but stuck at Preston. Doesn’t sound like they’re being told much.

    I thought this was the purpose of Delay Repay, if you were delayed by an amount of time you get either a proportion or all the fare repaid?

    Storm Floris (Trip.com)

    Good evening all. Slightly different to the other thread, but with some parallels. I booked a ticket via Trip.com from Dunfermline Queen Margaret to Guide Bridge. The journey was as follows; Monday 4th August. Dunfermline to Haymarkey (Scotrail) 1806 (arr 1840) Haymarket to Preston (Avanti)...

    Euston departure platform request.

    Thank you for this. I hadn’t realised it was that easy to find out. I appreciate you help.

    Euston departure platform request.

    Good afternoon all. I hope this isn’t out of place, but does anyone know which platform Euston>Manchester 18:32 will leave from today? I’m just trying to avoid the “scramble”. Thank you in advance.

    10:35 Man Picc>Lon Eus.

    Thanks again for your replies. This should help make the journey less painful! Just out of interest (and a cheeky ask), would you know what inbound train forms the Eus>Man Picc 20:53? That will be my return journey on Thursday 29th August.

    10:35 Man Picc>Lon Eus.

    Thank you both for the replies, I appreciate it. If the service next week is cancelled, I assume I’d be able to use the following service? As I wouldn’t have a reserved seat in that, is there an unreserved coach?

    10:35 Man Picc>Lon Eus.

    Hi all. I apologise if this isn’t the correct location for my query. I’m using the 10:35 Manchester to London service next Wednesday (14th August) but have a fair bit of luggage. Is there a set platform for this at Manchester, or does anyone know the inbound service it is formed from? I’m hoping...

    TPE/Avanti: Mcr>Edinburgh & return

    Hi all. I’m getting both confused and concerned by various emails I’m getting from both Avanti and TPE. One seems to indicate but not actually say cancelled, the other that they don’t know. So we’re travelling up on the 10:26 Mcr>Edinburgh which is TPE and returning next day on 16:52 as far as...

    Northern 'names and shames' schools with high numbers of fare dodging pupils

    PSHE does not include rail travel any more than it would time on an xbox. It includes safety, but not responsibility for buying tickets.

    Northern 'names and shames' schools with high numbers of fare dodging pupils

    You’re not the only person employed within education, and NO ofsted inspection looks at travel to or from school at all.

    Avanti shambles today.

    We were booked on 13:53 Preston>Edinburgh today. The train was, as expected mad busy. We were told we had to get off (for safety reasons-“there needs to be a clear walk through the coaches”) and were told it we could get the next train. Our son couldn’t get off. 12 people did get off (I...

    Northern 'names and shames' schools with high numbers of fare dodging pupils

    It has absolutely nothing to do with OFSTED. No more than it would be ASDA’s concern if one of their empliyees were to dodge fares. OFSTED is concerned with the quality of education, safeguarding of pupils in educational settings, relationship with staff/pupil's/parents, facilities and results...

    Unreserved seating.

    Brilliant, thank you very much.

    Unreserved seating.

    Thank you, would that be in addition to C or instead of?
