methinks the government are trying to nationalise the railways by stealth, notice how the dft choose either First, arriva, or stagecoach for all the new franchaises...

as if first are realy going to use leather, of course its all vinyl!

I'm thinking about using the caledonian sleeper from preston to Aberdeen, does anyone know why Preston is not on the list of departure points on the bargain berths website and if it is apceptable to use it to get a "ticket" from london but get on teh train at preston?

How is it going, will they also be marketed as "mallard" or somthing different?

how about a east coast sleeper service that joins with the caledonian sleeper at Edinburgh?

why are they paying the government instead of network rail, shurely the idea of a private railway is that the market rules, not burocratts!

why can't the governmet just keep their nose out and let the market decide

why didn't the national railway museum buy it?

How long has a direct london-inverness service been going, and why was it set up?

true they should turn it off except for just before a station!

Most stations I've seen have room for an extra coach or two, besides they could stop when the platform's full then move forward at more than just the north of scotland.

Why not add the average value of travel costs for a given area to the state pension based on a discount so pensioners are less likely to travel for the sake of it yet still effectively don't have to pay and the ones who don't can use the money for whatever they feel fit and it'l be means tested

They've got siemens badges all over them... what's wrong with them?

Good arn't they, almost silent! are they a desiro?

how about making the trains longer so they can sell more tickets without faffing about with extra route charges, perhaps this extra supply can mean the fares can go down making train travel more popular and stop charging over a tenner for a fry up in the restaraunt so someone would buy it!
