It's the 10:13 TPExpress from Glasgow, which has been cancelled due to a severe weather forecast in Cumbria. Northern are still running their 13:03 to Lime Street, as that starts in Blackpool.

I would strongly recommend you remove "I have taken the same journeys for many years and my railcard discount is automatically applied on my train booking app (Trainline) at purchase and my railcard is on a different app." If SWR see this, they may start (if they haven't already done so)...

222001 has moved to Alstom Widnes today for refurbishment, prior to use by Lumo.

Yes, it has, thankfully. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/dec/01/manchester-london-7am-train-will-now-carry-passengers-after-outcry-over-regulators-decision

The members are correect - this is from the Greater Anglia website: Refunds and Railcards If you are travelling with a Railcard-discounted ticket and have forgotten to bring your Railcard with you or you have mislaid it, we will refund any extra fare or Penalty Fare charged. To claim a refund...

Lord Peter Hendy today (17/11/25) launched a two month trial of enhanced wifi on a GWR IET. It switches between 5G mobile and satellite connections, to provide the fastest speed possible. (There's no mention of the connection problems posed by tunnels!) He said the DfT would be awaiting the...

My advice is for your Mum to contact Northern and advise them that she didn't make the journey (with evidence she was in work elsewhere). I suspect that someone she knew 15+ years ago was involved and gave your Mum's details when caught.

You've missed them. See post #193 by ainsworth74.

A 54 year-old man repeatedly made train journeys over a seven year period without a ticket and incurred £30k in fines, costs and fares owed. He has only paid £2,100 of the £30,012.90 fines, fares and costs incurred since April 2017. Exeter Magistrates Court have now cut the amount owed to...

That only applies to IETs which start at Cardiff. If they've started from Swansea, the rear carriages fill up there and Neath, as they are nearest the entrance.

Yes. Some guys allocated to service buses are being route trained this week.

In that case, use TfW's "Tap and Go" to travel on the 09:23 to Holyhead. https://tfw.wales/ways-to-travel/rail/ticket-types/pay-as-you-go/fares-and-capping Tap out at Newport and board the train to Bath Spa, as cheap tickets will then be valid (departs after 09:30).

He has appealed (post #4) and it was rejected. Unlike National Rail, there does not appear to be an independent body to escalate the appeal.

The cheapest way would be to get a bus from St Albans to Hatfield (£3 maximum) and then National Express service 737 will get you to Stansted in 60-75 minutes for around £9. This avoids the hassle of going into/out of London.

Newport Transport

Permanent. No (unless you attempt to exit at Newport)

This is getting confusing. A County Court summons does not come from a Magistrates Court - it comes from (as the name suggests) a County Court. Does the correspondence look genuine e.g is the GWR letter on headed notepaper? I'm just wondering if this is a scam....

If the Conductor approached you before the train reached High Wycombe, you held a valid ticket in the form of the credit card you used to touch in at Marylebone. If you had presented this and the Conductor's card reader had confirmed the touch-in, he/she would have moved on to the next...

A Trip.com issued railcard can be used with any ticket retailer, but first needs to be activated after purchase - and this can only be done by buying a ticket through Trip.com. Purchasing a child single, Edinburgh Waverley to Haymarket, would activate it (the ticket doesn't have to be used!). I...
