Can i ask if the new stock is being used on the Glasgow-Euston route now. Travelling September 13th. Thanks.

Fratton. New ticket barriers have opened it up a bit but for the amount of passengers that use it i really think it needs a total refit. No waiting rooms, crumbling over bridge, uneven paving on the platform, poor toilets.

Anybody know if you sit in the lounge car on the sofas and don't buy a drink you can be asked to leave? I was travelling last week on the Euston to Aberdeen when i was told by a particularly unwelcoming member of crew i had to buy a drink to stay in the lounge. Would have thought travelling...

Have the Portsmouth to Waterloo services run ok during the strike?

Thanks for your reply.

Does anybody know roughly how many 1st class passengers would be on my sleeper train if it has been sold out. I am going to Fort William on Friday from Euston. Just wondering how they sort out the logistics of serving people breakfast in the dining car?

Three quick question please, mainly related to the hot weather. 1. Is it true that 1st class passengers on the Caledonian sleeper can use the 1st class lounge at Euston? 2. Does it have air conditioning? 3 Does the sleeper train (to Fort William) have air conditioning? Thanks for any replies.

No, we didn't have headphones in.

Well, remember it was a long train (12 car) and dark outside so some passengers might not have been aware of where exactly the train was (or for that matter the guard). I saw one man waiting at the door for his Portchester stop as we sped past Cosham! I have no idea what was going on in other...

The only time we heard the guard was just outside Fratton, when he just said we were waiting for a platform. I was near the front of the 12 car train and the guard was quite a long way back so i don't know what his reaction was as we sped past the scheduled stops! A few who wanted Portchester...

Pretty poor show from the guard in charge of the 1814 Winchester to Portsmouth Harbour train last night. Arriving 20 mins late from a problem near Waterloo i noticed on my phone the train was now due to miss out Portchester, Cosham and Hilsea to make up time. Trouble was at no point on the...

If i find my blocked I'd just say to them somebody's just thrown up in there. Usually does the trick and they move to another door!

What would you do if it was a station that wasn't staffed and the last train was cancelled? Phone national rail enquires?

With a strike happening on this day I'm wondering if my only option would be to get to Guildford on SWT and then the FGW Reading to Gatwick service. How busy would the FGW train likely be on a strike day (around 4pm). Is it just a 3 car train? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the replies. Being in Chesterfield yesterday I tried one of their ticket machines and had no problems getting them printed.

I have bought hundreds of tickets before from the self ticket machines at Fratton but today I had an issue with one online booking I made (through Cross Country Trains, bought a few days ago). I would have seen the people in the ticket office but unfortunately they were closed. The tickets...

Just wondering if anybody on here has had money automatically paid back into their account from the result of a delay by Virgin? They trumpet it a lot on their web page but I have had 4 journeys in the past 2 months that have had serious delays and even though it was an advance ticket and...

Have never done this route before and as a keen photographer I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to which stations on the route offer the best opportunities for scenic landscape photo taking? Thanks in advance.

I have a £34 rail voucher to use. The journey I am wanting to go on this weekend will cost me £32. I realise I won't get change but will it still be ok to use the £34 voucher for this journey? Thanks

Cheers for that!
