I’m trying to put in a delay repay claim for a trip from Coventry - Lye on the 21st September. My train from Birmingham Moor Street was cancelled but I cannot remember exactly which one it was other than it was in the afternoon. Can anyone tell me which was cancelled and how long my delay to Lye...

Yep, in my experience, guards are hot on request stop information on the relevant lines. I’ve never once had to find the guard to ensure it stops. They’ve always got to me first. In terms of hailing, the far north line is trialling a radio system that informs the driver when you press the button...

This I have yet to see! DB seem to do what they want, when they want. You have no other choice but to use DB

Ha! DB ain’t that reliable in my experience

I saw this when at Stafford. Not sure I’ve seen it before but could be wrong. It said the same on the platform, sorry didn’t photograph that. Is it common?

That’s brilliant! Love that one. Hope it stays in situ

What a shame. I was hoping the through services to heathrow would increase to every 10mins, not 2tph. I often have to get from the other side of London to Heathrow area and the waiting up to 30MINS at Paddington is annoying. Out of interest, how will the through running work because coming...

I have noticed that Stafford is a good ticket splitting station. There are also some decent fares from Stafford, especially when heading southbound 1661701327 Yes, these are the station shortcodes. I don’t think there is much call for journeys between these 2 stations otherwise there’s be...

really? I have somehow missed that! I travelled that route a lot pre-pandemic and don’t recall a Wilmslow stop being timetabled! Most of my trains either terminated at BIRMINGHAM (northbound) or were routed via STOKE.

There were 2 options today for buses; Stafford had buses to Stoke and Macc, Wilmslow had buses to Macc (and to stoke for the southbound train)

Yes weekends are often now allocated a double 195 to support leisure travellers (and when TP cancel their SHF-MAN services), according to a guard

No trains are running between Macclesfield and Stoke On Trent today. Few observations / queries from me. 1) XC services have been stopping at Wilmslow. I’ve not come across this before. Had this happened in the past? 2) The XC trains pass through Crewe without stopping. To my knowledge, all...

My experience of 1st class on XC has always been very positive. Admittedly, pre-pandemic and pre-strike action / cancellations. Staff have always been good, some quite regimented, food and drink always available and carriages quiet and never declassified in the 2 years I used it on a fortnightly...

I’ve noticed this. It must be to do with either station names re-recorded later on or just recorded at a different time so the lady / gent announcing is sitting at a different distance from the mic or the recording setup is different. They could have ‘normalised’ the recordings afterwards, I...

Yes, June 2018 I remember seeing at least 2 ppl board at carstairs on the SB sleeper

Walked to Oakengates for the first time last week. Signage to the station from the Station Fields end was terrible. No indication of which way to walk, although the main road (Bridge Street) had a station sign (likely pointing to the other entrance) but there was nothing after that. Seems rare...

Amazing timings! Just imagine a 25min scheduled service for commuters once an hour before stoppers leave. The road traffic on the Leeds-Skipton corridor is just horrendous and takes an hour or more at peak times to drive

Does anyone know what the quickest run Leeds - Skipton is non-stop? 1658612492 Seen many NMC - MAN trains run express when it’s been delayed from Sheffield. Best I’ve seen is 19mins

What on earth are you on about? Please read my original post as you have completely missed the context

Not true, I have just bought advance fare from Northern for same journey for £7 as per original screenshot! EDIT: And as per previous poster, also bought Avanti Preston-Carlisle advance for a bargain £8.50
