1) Are AXC/TPE doing any special Christmas FC upgrades? 2) If I upgraded my ticket to FC on the train, with the VT upgrade (or weekend first for that matter), could I buy just the one upgrade for say Carlisle to Holyhead, for £15, and use it on both trains (changing once at Crewe)...

Hi all, Please could someone possibly tell me what the diesel traction should be, on the below charter tomorrow, between Hellifield and Preston? Times included in full below, incase anyone wants them. Many thanks to anyone who gives me the requested info. (Preferbly...

Hi all, GNER.co.uk has been brilliantly improved, as planned, yesterday. It's what i've been waiting for- A completely useable ticket booking system, which makes looking for Value Advance Singles very easy, amongst the fully flexible tickets. Just try it for yourself...

Hi all, I'm just wondering what is transported to/from Sellafield Nuclear Power Plant, how often it happens, where these trains go, and who operates them? I can't find any info on EWS's website? Thanks

Hi all, Please could someone tell me for certain, if some of the major TOCs, like VT/XC/GNER/Hull Trains etc, are going to hold the special Christmas first class upgrade offer this year? It's normally the same as Weekend First, but valid during the week, during a selected period...

Hi all, I really want to get a HUGE amount of Virgin Voyager mileage next Saturday 10th November, before Arriva start to screw XC up the following day. I'm looking at trains to/from Manchester, and quickly came up with this: 05:10 Manchester to Glasgow Central arrive 09:00...

Hi all, I've just had a look at Doncaster's NRES page for arrivals/departures, and noticed that the 12:00 Edinburgh-Kings Cross has terminated there, at 17:43, some 2 hours 54 minutes late! (25/10/07) As it lost nearly all of this time between Darlington & York, would I be right in...

Hi all, I apologise if anything has already been posted on the forum about this, and any inconvenience this may have caused you. Taken from the NRES website: I'm just so glad that i'm not travelling on Thursday myself at the moment..

Hi all, I've tried to book tickets on TPE/ MML trains, Manchester-St Pancras I know i've pressed back, and requested a different seat a few times, but DISASTER! ALL of the MML First Fares have been removed! It used to be £18, but now it's the £100+ FOS! This has happened to me...

Hi all, I've got 3 options, all covering the ECML and MML, one way, but don't know which to choose from. (I will be travelling FC, and the level of service is something i'd consider, as well as seating arrangements:) Main factors to know are:- Either travelling on a GNER HST, and...

Hi all, I'm just wondering if I did two or three trips on TPE, in FC, to anywhere they run, if there was some kind of money saving ticket i could get? I'm only talking about travelling a few times within a week, and doing TPE AP Return fares wouldn't be very good. I'm only really...

Hi all, I've downloaded an activity from UKTS, and tried to drive a 221 between Bournemouth and Basingstoke. As soon as my leading carriage leaves the end of the platform at Redbridge, 2.13 (?) Miles away from Southampton Central, several shape failing errors cause MSTS to crash...

Hi all, Did the NMT HST run Derby-Euston-Blackpool-Newcastle today, as planned? If so, was it on time? Thanks

Hi all, Just to let you know that Arriva XC have released the advance purchase fares for their services From Sunday 11th November, through to 8th December. I've immediatley seen three good points: 1) The fare structure is currently exactly the same as VXC, with the VT singles, but a...

Hi all, I'm strongly against Arriva taking over the XC franchise, from Virgin, and was wondering if me and VT Dan are on our own, for thinking that VT should have kept the XC franchise? (I'm hoping we aren't!!) Please vote In my poll. I haven't included a Maybe/Other option, as it...

Hi all, I've just done a quick fare check for London Kings Cross to Hull. I was pleased to see that Hull Trains has finally put on the internet, their own Value singles, instead of phone/station only. The shocking comparison, however, when browsing through different TOCs prices...

Hi all, Is it me, or does the Class 442 model for the Dorset Coast route have really crappy brakes, when in multiple, as a 10-car, yet had quite decent ones when on its own? I've just recently done the 08:05 Waterloo to Brockenhurst activity, with 2x442's, with the rear unit uncoupled at...

Hi all, Does anyone know why VT couldn't have made the timetables starting from Monday available at least say a week in advance? I know that you can get accurate info from journey planners, but it isn't quite the same IMO. Also about VT, I find it very annoying that VT publicly...
