I've only just found this and the offer expires at midnight tonight (in slightly less than 23 hours)...
TPE are offering 25% discount on their Advance fares, if booked directly through their website.
I've just bought two First Class Advance tickets from Leeds to Blackpool for £45 return...
I am booked on an Advance First ticket on the 10.22 Bradford Int to Kings Cross service tomorrow morning.
If this train is cancelled, will I be able to travel via Leeds on Northern / East Coast? And will I still be able to travel First Class?
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I am a member of railway staff (I work for one of the TOCs) and have just been charged the (whopping) £25 upgrade to travel in First Class from London Kings Cross to Leeds.
This is the first journey in a long while where I've been charged - I'm wondering if it is because of the free food that...
The Virgin Trains website shows this train running to Liverpool Lime Street, but I was under the impression that the train ran to Manchester Piccadilly. So is their timetable wrong, or has it now been diverted to Liverpool now? From a timetable point of view, it makes more sense as, running to...
... anyone having trouble getting onto their website this morning? Are they overwhelmed by people looking at the site on the first day of the new timetable?
I've just come into the First Class Lounge at Manchester Piccadilly (and am using their complimentary wi-fi).

Thanks a lot!
I'm sure I'm not the first person to watch Leanne Battersby in Coronation Street go to the railway station to catch the 15.55 to London Euston from platform 2 at Manchester VICTORIA! Which appeared to be formed of a Northern Rail Class 150!
And the train gained an extra stop at Watford...
FYI - East Midlands Trains DO charge £5 entry fee to the First Class Lounge at St. Pancras International for passengers holding Advance Purchase tickets (after 4pm - the implication being that they are not admitted at all before 4pm).
Last time I used the Lounge here, I didn't have to pay...
On Wednesday of this week, I looked at booking a First Class Advance purchase ticket, via the East Coast website, for a journey from Leeds to Kings Lynn, for Wednesday 9th February. A week in advance, there were plenty of journey opportunities for £27.60 (with the 10% online discount). By the...
My Dad is travelling from Liverpool up to Glasgow on Monday so, out of curiosity, I looked to see what fare he would have to pay, were he booking it himself (he has a ticket provided for him). Apparently, he is "booked" on the 15.25 from Wigan, which is a Virgin service, so the connection from...
