I note the revised EX1 service is still omitting to serve one of the larger settlements en route - Lynton. Upon inauguration, Lynton was timetabled to be served, but after the first fortnight or so, the route was changed to go direct from Lynmouth to Barbrook. Was this change of heart because of...

"Coaster" always suggests to me something you place your hot coffee cup on so it doesn't mark the polish! {Gets his coat...}

Thank you, both of you, for your replies. Presumably they're waiting until they can move the buses back to Minehead, as they'd be too much dead running out of Yeovil. It was running this time last year, although Easter was earlier then.

Does anyone have any information as to whether this service is to restart this year? I've enjoyed a couple of trips on it in past years and wouldn't mind another this summer?

I seem to remember some wit naming the nuclear waste train which used to run from Wylfa to Sellafield the glowex

Although I doubt those left to hang around Chester station for an hour for an on-going train to North Wales will not be quite so impressed when one of your three, the 1801 off Euston deposits them there!

Yes. I wondered about that. As far as I can discern, there were three trains waiting at some stage, but with Sheridan I wonder if it was worth it for 2 mins or so. Yet I suppose its always easier to regulate trains from one's fireside and comfortable armchair!

Does anyone know why this train was ordered to omit its Prestatyn stop this morning? It was during single-line working due to a suspected track defect on the up line, and thus all trains were using the down line, resulting in stopping at the "wrong" side of the island platform at Prestatyn. But...

So would-be passengers can know the times of the buses? ;)

No problem :D

I think you're getting your dates mixed-up. We're talking about the 4th December, not yesterday.

Ok - so technically it ran empty stock from Holyhead to Chester. So for some reason, crew -related or a fault, it was unable to carry passengers. Not much consolation for those on the platform watching it pass through though.:'(

Bad news continued:- 1A14 0648 Holyhead-Euston started at Crewe yesterday https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C21633/2024-12-04/detailed and cancelled altogether today ttps://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C21633/2024-12-05/detailed Both down to train faults. For the past...

I remember the first time I tried one. I asked for a beefburger and chips. "You want a burger meal?" the young thing behind the counter replied. "Yes, I want a meal. That's why I've come in here, for a meal. I want a meal with chips, please" Puzzled look from attendant as I was given a burger...

Seemples - if there's no dot on units 197113-197126 then there is SP! :D

Well, not exactly, for platform information boards show where 1st class is allocated on the awaited train. 1725276436 Really! Thank you for that information.

I think it would be helpful if notice could be given on platform indicators as to whether the arriving 3 car 197 has SP and at which end it is allocated. [I know RTT will give the set number of the service you're awaiting, so those in the know realise SP is going to be offered, but how many...
