    Class 230 units training/introduction on the Borderlands line: updates

    Looks that way in RTT, however Sunday looks they have 150's running the service. Why can't they find these 2 x 150's for tomorrow is anyone's guess.

    With the Long distance ticket sale running at the moment, I've taken a chance on 1V91 on the 7.32am Wrexham to Cardiff on the 11th May. Fingers crossed :lol:...

    Eurovision Liverpool, a rail nightmare waiting to happen.

    I feel for those staying over the border and going to the Final. No chance of getting back to Wrexham (for example), nearest they could get too is Chester on the 1.15am departure from Liverpool Central..They would need to leave the arena at 9.30pm at the latest to get back via the train. One...

    TfW 175 shortages

    It's like the 175's know they are being replaced and have just given up working properly.

    What's wrong with the non-fire damaged unit? Is that unable to return to service for some reason?

    Hi, Is this a new timetabled working from today? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W97647/2022-12-11/detailed It has been cancelled due to "an issue with the train crew", I've never a known a working to Euston from Wrexham on a sunday before. Thought it may have been an error.

    Ex LNER (and Grand Central) Mark 4 sets for TfW

    There was a ex LNER set at Chester this morning on platform 3, completely empty. It departed at approx 7.20 and headed off in the Crewe direction i think, i couldn't tell for sure as i was heading the opposite way to Flint. I believe the normal timetabled set was running 30 minutes late from...

    TrawsCambria / TrawsCymru

    I took a trip on the T10 12.15 service from Corwen yesterday. 2 of us boarded and no one really got on until we got to Betws Y Coed, surely it must carry almost fresh air up until that point. More people did get on after Betws, Bethesda and the outer limits of Bangor but can the Corwen to...

    Great Ticket Sale courtesy of Grant Shapps

    Managed to take advantage of this "Rail Sale" offer. Shrewsbury to Swansea via the Heart of Wales lines is one I've always wanted to do and got it for £10.20 one way and a return back to Wrexham from Swansea for £16.70. Bargain if i must say so myself.

    Ex LNER (and Grand Central) Mark 4 sets for TfW

    Why would they route it via Wrexham, Chester and not go straight to Crewe from Shrewsbury?
