I have just looked at RTT to see how many special trains were going to Cheltenham Spa today and noticed that many trains in the Gloucster/Cheltenham are were being delayed by around an hour from mid morning, any members know the reason? TIA

Is the driver from Newcastle, if so would they sign the Fife circle?

These two counties seem to get the worst of the British weather, is there a case for allocating more funds to these two areas to improve the infastructure so that it is able to stand up more rigorously to the high winds, landslips, high tides etc. Nowadays the slightest bit of bad weather seems...

Zontar, What made matters worse was that I had travelled from Inverness and was going to get the 1251. However due to problems the previous evening the Highland Chieftain could not leave INV until 0955 so we missed a connection at Haymarket, at least it didn't mean I missed a flight from...

What I do know is that I arrived at Edinburgh to catch the 1451 Avanti to Euston and I eventually reached Carlisle at 1925 with the failure very troublesome to me.

Out of my 4 trips this week, I have 3 lots of Delay Repay coming back to me and even the 4th service had an out of service disabled toilet. The on board team were excellent though. Perhaps we should have had a couple of kettles out on the S&C to run a reliable service, also I think EMR are...

I was booked on the 0923 (4) this morning but got a message around 2am that the service was cancelled, I got to the station for the 0726 and that was also cancelled. The RRB from Carlisle to Preston was surprisingly good and the only time in my life I will pass under a large gap in the WCML, the...

The night time photo is stunning, after seeing the clarity of a night time photo I will gladly stay in home and watch the telly.

A shambolic day today, I was on the 0923 from Carlisle which was going to be a 10 car but Avanti couldn't,t make the join work so we left nearly an hour late. However the steward was very good and my Salmon and eggs delicious. I was booked to return on the same set at 1207 from Preston but it...

All the very best to all the workers on this project, it must be a very difficult job working in these temperatures hour after hour, I hope that you get some hot food soup etc and the bridge competion goes well.

I received an email today from Avanti informing me that the time has changed for my journey from Carlisle to Preston next week, it has changed from 0923 to 0924. Presumably that change applies to every day.

MKB Although there are no Advance tickets from Nuneton to Manchester it is sometimes possible to split at Stockport, although I think the return versions are still pricy.

The failure of 4S43 on Wednesday 17th ensured it took me 6 hours to get from Edinburgh Waverley to Carlisle. It seems very strange if there is no RHTT scheduled to operate on the WCML North of Carlisle.

If you are in SP on a freebie, can you pay to upgrade to First so that you can have something to eat or drink. If you can how are the costs worked out, surely it will cost more from Euston to Carlisle than it would for Rugby to Warrington BQ. I have 2 SP returns in my account at the moment, the...

I have been to Inverness and other places this week, and my limited brain power got working. Now that Avanti have the 805/807 Everos, could there be a business case to bring back The Clansman, a long gone Euston to Inverness day service, serving Coventry, Wolverhampton, Crewe, Preston...

Not a single train but it took me 11 1/2 hours from Inverness to Carlisle today.

I have to travel from Stafford to Glasgow Central on Monday, if Avanti cancel my train at Preston will they lay on RR buses to Carlisle? TIA

1c59 Sheffield to St Pancras was shown as being at East Mids Parkway for 48 minutes this afternoon with 810010, I don't have any further info.

I have booked First class on the 6th and 8th, I am sure my reservation is in coach J.
