I bought above ticket for travel on Tuesday, and I collected it today from the machine.
It only printed two things - the 'Day Travelcard' and the collection receipt. Is it this right that its only 1 ticket? I looked at my conformation email and it definitely mentions date of outward and...
Where I'm a lodger at currently backs onto the West Coastway line near Chichester.
Its only the non-stop trains that can be heard from inside but everything pretty much stops after 12pm. You get used to the noise after awhile.
The only annoyance is that I need a gate directly onto the...
You go through the barriers, Straight on to the doors by Burger King. Turn left out of the door.
Go past the Visitors centre and at the traffic lights, cross the road so you have the Park Plaza Hotel to your left and Flares Night club to your right.
Walk down this road, past a 'Multiyork'...
Booked on this East Coast offer in January.
£25 for first class on Friday at 19.33 to Wakefield. The £10 standard wasn't available for that train and with the advance ticket being £21.95 (with rail card) I decided to pay the extra for first class.
Coming back on a £10 standard fare.
I have used that 1948 on a few occasions as the GC advances are cheaper than the EC advances. However now I won't be able to so I also won't travel back on the sunday too.
Seems very unwise of GC to not to call at Wakefield on the last train of the day when normally quite a few people got off...
I was on a rail replacement bus last weekend with Southern which was using Double deck buses (some with wheelchair space some not)
Some people tried to board with a bike ( having been told by SWT they could take the bike on the bus) but asked the driver anyway. Driver said he would take them...
I'm pretty sure that on a 180 seat C7 would be backwards on a service from Bradford. I think I had this seat from London and I was forward racing.
But as others have said there should be plenty of space on the rest of the train as Grand Central put all the standard class reservations in Coach C.
Worst I have ever experienced was joining a Manchester Picadilly service to Blackpool at Salford Crescent at about 17:50 on a Friday ..
On arrival to Salford Crescent the train (a 3 car 185) was already overcrowded, yet lots more wanted to join and did. Was very interesting experience till...
I travelled from Chichester to Norwood Junction yesterday at 5pm. 1 Window was open but they has RPIs there too, went to one of them first, tried to charge me £16 for a return, which was way off the £10.55 I knew it was going to cost me. I asked me about if there was a Super Off Peak return...
Saw a 150 in Brough on Saturday on a Bridlington to Sheffield service, was first time I'd seen a Northern train there other than a 158 in a long time. (Though I don't visit often)
I remember going on trains from Brough to Hull/Brid in the mid to late 90s as a child with my Grandma and getting...
I can see one seat next to me in Coach B empty! Looking into the corridor, few people sat on floor etc.
If this was an East Coast service it would be normal!
I am on the 'full and standing' 19:48 KGX to WKK service and I will be travelling again on Grand Central.
Now they have advance fares, hopefully things for them will improve on the West Riding route, if they attract people in from East Coast intially by offering the promotional fare and then...
