On the train and we just stopped at Tamworth and from the lounge car it seemed that some people were walked past and boarded the seated section. Any ideas? Certainly never recall stopping there before.

Emergency timetable in operation (http://www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk/static/filemanager/130121_TL_TT.pdf) Now, it stopped snowing at around 9pm last night and no further snow fell. Temperatures did not seem to drop excessively overnight either, so why such a major impact in the morning...

Report available at http://www.raib.gov.uk/cms_resources.cfm?file=/120523_R072012_Kentish_Town.pdf Makes for some interesting reading

No such thing as a stupid question so . . . Just want to check that there are no issues with Weekend First on an All Line Rover? Having convinced my girlfriend to travel around the UK for 7 days on a train we will need to finish by doing Penzance to London so the 1st class upgrade is the...

Further from my comment on the East Coast 1st class thread regarding the 10.00 KGX-ABD being short formed missing a 1st class carriage, a further HST has just been noted at York with no buffet car but 3 1st class carriages. Anyone any the wiser as to the cause of these altered formations?
