Looks like an issue of some sort between Seaton Carew and Billingham, possibly involving a Grand Central 180 which left Hartlepool at 0920 heading for Eaglescliffe.

Currently sat on a Grand Central 180 which came to an abrupt stand, just been told will head back to Retford shortly, now doing so... 1699092636 now cancelled and choice of wait for a GC service at approx 1030, or pay a single at £44 on Hull trains.

Currently stuck on a Northern train between Billingham and Seaton Carew stationary due to person on the line and police in attendance...nearly an hour now, why on earth can't trains proceed at walking pace in such circumstances because in pitch darkness the police aren't going to get anybody!

Hi, I'm aware there have been problems in the past - so question for those working in TOs, is there a procedure to deal with this at the time of presenting or do I have to go back to the office that issued the vouchers and take matters up with them. They are LNER issue and the TO was Northern if...

By chance yesterday I found myself on an (the only?) East Coast Mk4 set with the recently fitted electronic seat reservation indicators. My old brain seems to think the fitting of these is because some Mk4 sets are to be retained and used in a sort of open access/commercial operation by VTEC...

Hi, my question is, can I use this bus connection at no charge with a dated retired staff priv box, or would I need a priv rate ticket from Luton Airport to say London? Thanks in advance.

With TOCs now accepting scans or photos of tickets for delay repay and compensation claims, rather than having the physical ticket to check, how can they check that the journey was actually made on the late train quoted? I've always assumed that the magnetic strip will hold enough information...

This weekend services on ECML have been diverted via Knottingley between Doncaster and York, requiring diesel traction as no juice available. That would have been a simple matter of hooking up a diesel loco on the front of the 91/mk4 set for the diversion and off again, back to normal...

On Wednesday next I intend to make the following outward journey using a Safeguarded Retired Staff Travelcard to buy a priv Off Peak Return Shildon to Leicester. As far as I am aware I cannot use open access GC or FH trains for any part of my journey. Could one of our experts confirm to me...

Looked at this and thought great trip, would mean a taxi to get me to Darlington for the 0715 pick up, but not impossible. Then I looked at the return. Having had the steam locos unhooked at Grangetown it continues back to Darlington en route Newcastle via ECML, but doesn't set down their or...

Travelling on Northern Irish Rail, NIR operated services, I have a couple of questions that their website doesn't have an answer to, that I can find. Is there a one day rover type ticket that would cover Londonderry down to Belfast and its surrounds? Failing that, is break of journey...

The above (1M90) train was again cancelled this morning and started from Lockerbie around 15' late. Does anyone know why, and how it reached LOC (from south/north/direct from depot etc.). Hoping it runs normally tomorrow as I intend to connect off it at Carlisle into the NCL service!

It seems as from today seat numbers have been shuffled about to deal with the problem of reservations being on differently placed seats when stock substitutions occur. One of the changes means that First Class seats will always be in coach C whether 170/185 or 350 stock is used, another is...

All service currently suspended on WCML between Lancaster and Penrith, due to person being hit by train near Penrith. Sympathies to all concerned. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Which appears to have been this one...

Got tipped this morning that from next week priv rates will be available on some off peak fares. Anybody know more or able to confirm please?

Probably the time to start a new thread as the original "Construction" one is lengthy and going off topic anyway.

Any of the Mancunians able to say if taxis and the free metroshuttle can access the station forecourt at MCO yet? Or is it still down the slope and right for the metroshuttle? Thanks in advance.

Yesterday evening OHL down north of Carstairs on the southbound, resulted in this service eventually leaving GLC just before 2100 and being diverted via Kilmarnock and Dumfries - does anyone know what time it arrived at Carlisle please? I eventually left GLC at 2212 in a taxi after the...

Does anyone know why this service was losing time throughout its journey? Seemed to have slower acceleration than normal.

The current blockade of WCML has had a beneficial effect on my local station of Lockerbie; on the two saturdays (today and next weekend) Virgin are stopping many of their services at LOC which do not normally do so. To the point where we have at least 50% more arrivals and departures than...
