Offer expiry date in the conditions has just updated to 31 December 2024. We go on!

Yeah. They're clearly struggling to some extent as a few services are currently coming up on JourneyCheck as offering a reduced first class menu despite the cutbacks they've made in the timetable. The concern of course is that they decide that customers don't seem to mind and never reinstate the...

The Festival menu is also effectively Deli as the only hot item is a sausage roll. It's also only available on departure from Edinburgh. After that, the menu downgrades to Deli (even though the service I was on is marked as Dish here...

Is it quite this simple? Surely the weekend trips which have bounced back and grown are more likely to be the types of things people did by car pre-COVID? I do agree on the overall problem though. The business model of the railway in the UK was to price gouge people who had to be in a city...

This is odd as the 0708 Leeds-Aberdeen serves the breakfast Dine menu between Leeds and Edinburgh and the lunch/dinner Dish menu (with alcohol) from Edinburgh-Aberdeen so the system is clearly capable of changing mid-way if it wants to!

Automated announcements on my train this afternoon have changed to ‘welcome onboard this train’.

Train has hit a tree between Stirling and Alloa so that line is closed for the moment

Does anyone know what the problem at Wilmslow actually is? Trains still can't run south from Manchester airport 3 days later.

Apologies, phone typing and all that!

To complete the story the TPE guard was absolutely fine about it (that train was late out of Manchester too). There seems to be about of an 'everyone mucking in' spirit after events in Manchester this week. The service I started on was a Northern MAN Airport-Blackpool North service. The...

Thanks folks. Someone at Virgin is going to have a word with the TPE guard and they seem fairly sure we'll be able to travel on that one. To be honest I was under the (clearly incorrect) impression that tickets basically became flexible once a connection was missed. Clearly that was wrong!

I've missed a Virgin West Coast connection to Edinburgh at Preston due to a late running service from Manchester (understandable today). The staff at Preston say I have to wait 2 hours for the next VTWC train rather than taking the TPE train in an hour. Is this correct?
