    C2C class 720 updates

    I guess after the press launch it won't be too long before they enter service now. I am planning a trip to London 13/14th July and wonder if anyone with local knowledge can tell me the current locations of the 720s, expecially Wembley Yard and East Ham depot. Obviously units may move before...

    ECML Thunderbirds

    I had the misfortune to be on the 12.02 York to KX on Tuesday hauled by 91130, which failed just north of Doncaster Station station. Got some unexpected haulage from 67016 into the station. What annoyed me was it took nearly 3 hours to rescue us when the loco was less than 2 miles away !! The...

    The Delay Repay claim has been accepted for the full £20.60 this morning. A satisfactory ending to what was a terrible journey. Hopefully everybody else didn't miss flights etc because of it.

    Grand Central Seat layout with window.

    I am travelling York to London and return soon and am looking at the seating plans for the 180s. Unfortunately it does not specify which seat align with the windows. I am looking at Standard Class, Airline seats facing direction of travel ideally on the right hand side to and from London. Does...

    Can you add a London Travelcard to an advance ticket.

    Thank you for the replies. I will stick to getting the paper Travelcards on both days as in previous years then.

    Can you add a London Travelcard to an advance ticket.

    Hi all, I am about to book my annual 2 day trip to London and whilst there I will need an off peak Travelcard 1-6 on day 1 and a Peak Travelcard 1-6 on day 2. I tend to use the LNER website to book either a LNER or Grand Central advance ticket and return. I have always bought paper travelcards...

    London Travelcard versus Contactless card.

    Thank you so much for the replies I would have just bought a Day Travelcard. I will do as suggested and touch in at King's X underground and touch out at Bethnal Green via Liverpool Street. Buy a single to Stratford and re enter and go to Stratford via Liverpool Street. Touch in contactless at...

    London Travelcard versus Contactless card.

    No Railcard I am afraid. Wouldn't I have to touch in at Liverpool Street to get to Bethhnal Green too, or is that classed as part of the journey ? If I bought a paper ticket from Bethnal Green to Stratford is it valid via Liverpool Street or would I have to walk to the Underground Station to...
