On an AWC northbound (Euston-Glasgow) and we’ve ground to a halt between Crewe and Stockport- incident ahead apparently. Anyone have any info/update?

Not sure where to put this but as it happened on my journey home to Penrith from Euston yesterday (AWC) I thought I'd put it here- mods, do move if not appropriate. The train manager came round to perform the ticket check and clipped my paper ticket. It was only later I realised his clippy...

Hope I've posted this in the correct place. Just re-reading Agatha Christie's '4.50 from Paddington' (published 1957 I believe) and noticed a reference to a train arriving into Paddington from Birmingham & Wolverhampton. Was there a direct service to Paddington from Birmingham in those days? If...

Hi guys, I'm travelling from Penrith (10.04 departure) to Reading (via Euston/Paddington) and then onwards to Aldermaston tomorrow to visit friend. I have a standard return (not advance) ticket (coming back on Sunday) with the usual Maltese cross for getting to Paddington (though I actually...

As some of you may know, we live in Clifton (Cumbria). Most days, at around 14:30, we're visited by the Log Train. It's enormously long and- obviously- packed full of recently cut logs. It parks on the down freight loop for around half an hour (I think it must wait for a series of Avanti and...

Just a quickie (and apologies if it has been done loads of times previously). I'm travelling from Reading to Paddington en route home on Sunday 22nd December. I understand crew shortages likely to result in fewer GWR services that day. I already have a standard off-peak ticket. Can I travel on...

Hi All, Am due to travel back from Euston to Penrith on Sunday 22nd. Obviously, I'll keep an eye on the release of the revised stike action timetable to see what's running but I'm exploring alternatives (really don't want to cancel my long anticipated weekend with my best friend if I can...

I'm sure this is going to sound really daft, but how does it work? We're stopping over in Reading soon for an event and then travelling on to London the next day to stay with some friends. We want to use the Elizabeth Line but I realise I have no idea whether we need to purchase tickets in...

Hi All, I'm due to travel back to Penrith from Reading on Sunday 18th December (on presumption I make it there in the first place as I'm due to travel down on 15th). I have a standard return ticket via Euston (I usually prefer that route) but in view of the strike action over the previous few...

Hope this is in the right place.... I travel from Penrith to Reading occasionally to visit friends. I used to travel via Banbury (changing at Wolverhampton) but the X Country leg to & from Reading was pants. I called it the 'third world train' because it was so overcrowded. It was usually...
