I want to book tickets on LNER for the end May, early June but these are not available yet, also not available on RailUK Tickets :( I see today they are available on the Trainline at quite a cheap price. Is there a risk these trains won't run .. or LNER just more cautious I understand there's...

I am thinking about booking a trip to Manchester from Newcastle and note that the service is run by TransPennine Express. I've been at Newcastle station a couple of times over the past few weeks (actually both on a Sunday) and on each occasion, TPX have been operating a replacement bus service...

I am looking to book a trip on LNER at the end of May or early June, but the tickets are not available yet. I have set an alert. but was just wondering how often the tickets are released .. is it weekly, monthly or whatever ? On the LNER website is says .. tickets are available up to 20th May

I see Trainpal is offering cheaper digital railcards. I fancy getting the Senior Card for 3 years (£46-20) .. it's my birthday next week, so thought it would be a decent present from my 3 kids .. better than more socks Just checking .. can the railcard just be stored on the Trainpal app, then...

I was looking on the LNER website and they mention Seatfrog .. something I had never heard of. The idea sounds good, but I looked on the Google Play store, before downloading and see two recent reviews, both only giving it 1 star. There are more 1-star reviews than 5-star ones, with 2,3 and...

Just playing about regarding tickets from Newcastle to Glasgow via Carlisle using the RailUK ticket site I added Carlisle in order to avoid the ECML being shown, but it is only giving me a 10-minute window to change trains, which i feel is a wee bit too short. I would imagine there are stacks...

I've often wondered why there is a gate on the south side of North Shields station and a ramp and stairs. These are never open. Were these built when there was a line from NS to St James and a third platform was being used ?

Am I doing something wrong ? I could book a day trip to Carlise for a Monday in March for £6, but for a similar Monday in April it is showing as £37.20 * I would have thought the further you book, the cheaper it is * Yes, there's an off-peak return at £18.70, but the single proices are...

I have some money in the LNER perks scheme and not I can use it to reduce the cost of a future ticket, but it looks as if this only applies to tickets bought through the app. I find it much easier using the PC, rather than a small phone screen, but I'll give it a go .. as soon as the tickets I...

I wanted to book a return journey from Newcast to Glasgow for the end of May but tickets are not available yet, via the LNER website. I have set up a ticket alert However, I was wondering whether I should be maybe checking individual websites, ie LNER and Scotrail, rather than the 'combined...

I read somewhere that the Scotland sleeper train will be using the ECML for the next few days Does anybody have more details, such as timings through Newcastle please ? thanks ! BTW .. HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !

My wife and I recently got a Two Together railcard, so have already had a trip to London resulting in a saving more than the card actually cost (£20 on offer) and we've also booked another trip to Edinburgh. Now just playing, I find a return ticket to Carlise from Newcastle In January for...

I have watched live trains on YouTube and some folk are able to get the train engine number or even name before it arrives. I often wonder how they are getting this information. If for example The Flying Scotsman was pulling a train, how would you find this out .. from a normal website rather...

I have booked a journey with LNER from Newcastle to London for 27th November at 07:55 and noticed it is going to take about 4 hours. The LNER website mentions diversions between Peterborough and Doncaster, but i am just curious to know more. My wife and I haven't been on a train for well over...

I am thinking about getting a senior railcard but will only be using it for the first time in April. I would like to buy my ticket in advance but was wondering whether I actually need the card at the time of buying the ticket (online) or would it be OK to get it nearer my date of travel. Toi...
