Hi all, I notice that VWC have today hired in a Class 380 unit and run the train in the path of their usual 9M55 12:00 Glasgow Central to London Euston via Birmingham service, as far as Carstairs, where the usual Pendolino took over. The reason being, that the inward working of the...

Hi all, I don't know if this has been publicised elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything on VWC's website. I've just noticed that it appears that Virgin Trains West Coast are increasing the cost of upgrading to First Class at weekends, from the current £5 child/£15 adult fares to £10...

Hi all, Apologies for re posting as a new thread, but does anyone possibly know how busy the 05:40 Edinburgh to London Kings Cross tends to be in First Class? I'm considering booking a (rather expensive) Advance First on this train, purely because of the limited stops on a train and hope...

My train has recently stopped at Falkirk High, to be greeted with two construction workers moving the station signs. One tiny one reads "Falkirk High". An adjacent taller one reads "Falkirk Higher." Its very nice to see that someone has a sense of humour!

Hi all, I've just passed 67019 dragging an EC MK4 set south of Grantham, NRES shows the 1000 Edb Kgx as being over an hour late. Would I be right to think this is the train in question? Thanks.

Hi all, I seem to remember it being reported that a 221 suffered from a fire whilst working the 0935 Ctr Eus, north of Mkc. Does anyone know what caused it, and/or how bad it was? Is it being repaired or is it back in service? Thanks.

Hi all, Apologies if already talked about, but a quick glance in the forum didn't find anything.. I really enjoy playing Train Simulator 2013, but have encountered a big problem recently. My HUD is missing from the game, making it very hard/almost impossible to play the game. Looking...

Hi all, I'm just curious as to whether anyone knows if Virgin will be running over the S&C at any point next year, as per previous years when Network Rail carry out routine engineering work between Preston and Carlisle? Is there a way of obtaining info about engineering work more than...

Hi all, Apologies if already covered, but NRES reports that regretably there was a person hit by a train yesterday near Oxenholme. Also the train has been severely damaged. Major delays overnight. My sympathies to all involved.

Hi all, I'm currently on a Euston Pendo. Just before Wolverton, we swapped over to the Slow line. I saw Network Rail examining the fast line very shortly after Mkc. Still on the slow at Leighton Buzzard. Anyone know what the problem is? Thanks. Edit: Now reverted back to Fast Line at...

Hi all, I've got an advance first ticket between Blackburn and London Euston. The question, is that my booked route is via Manchester Picc, with only the Pendolino (i.e. Manchester Picc to London Euston) section reserved. Could I therefore take a train to Preston, and then a TPE...

Hi all, Apologies if already posted, I couldn't see any mention elsewhere. There have been severe delays pretty much all day today between Carlisle and Glasgow/Edinburgh. Firstly booked engineering work over ran. Just as that got sorted, a signalling problem which is reported to be...

Hi all, I note that a broken down train is causing disruption along the WCML north of Lockerbie. Looking on the net, one of the first trains to be delayed is the 12:30 Euston to Glasgow. I'm taking a guess at this being the affected train. Does anyone know any more? (E.g. unit...
