    Exeter SD > Pitlochry sleeper + bikes

    They don't seem to be on sale yet. There are sleeper tickets available for the first couple of days in May but I can't get it to show any sleeper tickets at all for after 5th May. Give it a another week or two. (sorry, didn't see there was a page 2 of this thread!)

    45699 Galatea loaded test run 29th Jan 2014

    In fairness those times went up very late, possibly even after it had left Carnforth. They sometimes don't go up till afterwards, probably because West Coast are funny about publicising the details. Nat Pres sometimes has posts about LE movements, or you can try checking RTT to see if the path...

    Virgin's Birmingham New Street "next train to London Euston" departure boards

    Aren't they a hangover of the old 'InterCity SHUTTLE' boards that said the same thing?

    Virgin Trains to Shrewsbury

    No through service from Shrewsbury to London in living memory has taken less than 3 hours, some taking a lot longer. The new VT services are timed at 2h 15mins (down) - this is significantly faster and will surely have an impact on the number of people prepared to use it.

    Lancaster to Carlisle Engineering Works

    Just to add to the above, I've got photos of double Voyagers on the S&C from April and May 2013, so they definitely ran. I seem to remember there was one return journey between Birmingham and Scotland.

    Caledonian Sleeper, your views!

    £2.50, can use on anything from the lounge car.

    Caledonian Sleeper, your views!

    I agree, if the difference is so small then go for First Class. You can also use the showers at each end, and the cabin is more roomy with the top bunk folded away. If you're booking it using the ScotRail web site, use 'Zone U12* Lndn' as the origin. The price is the same as specifying Euston...

    Buy a Solo supplement, about £59 on top of standard ticket. They are limited, especially on FW train, so book early.

    Xmas running of the cl67 WAG

    One of Gerald yesterday crossing Conwy estuary with one of three 'ferry-exs' between Crewe and Holyhead. Does anyone know if it is doing anything else extra over the holiday period, or is it back on north-south duties?

    Caledonian Sleeper, your views!

    I'd like to see two main improvements: 1) better soundproofing between cabins (where there's an interconnecting door) and corridor, as well as fewer things that can rattle 2) freshly prepared food in the lounge car for both dinner and breakfast Otherwise it is a comfortable way to travel and...

    Exeter SD > Pitlochry sleeper + bikes

    I believe it is three bikes as opposed to six on services from Inverness, the reason being the space is sometimes used to carry consignments of fresh fish for London restaurants ..
