less than 3 months of the EMR franchise left, they are probably just treading water (and taking the money) until they hamd back the keys..

personally, I have long given up with the Pancras service, its via Doncaster or Tamworth for me, EMR must have literally driven away hordes of former passengers..

EMR should at least remove evening off peak restrictions to Leicester and beyond, while this fiasco is ongoing, the 1832 is booked a 5 car 222, so no capacity there, but if travel allowed throughout the evening peak to help spread the load.

20 years ago Skegness has C.450,000 passengers per year, it is now at C.400,000 but the lack of capacity must be further suppressing demand. the 170s had more space and often ran in 5 cars. there used to be additional Summer HSTs on the line on Saturday. I presume this is the DFT choosing not...

I see EMR are operating 2 car 158 units on the Skegness line today, as its lovely weather, I can see many people getting left behind, especially as there are 2 hour gaps on Sundays. Surely the service could have double units on peak bank holiday Sunday? What are the plans for this summer? I...

I just mean it will probably be the usual chaos, as has been the case since the HSTs were sent off lease. The service is not fit for purpose in the summer

No trains, so expect the worst.

Cornwall putting a lot of money into the rail service at Newquay, with a more frequent service, double the current service, which seems a more sustainable option than paying flight subsidies. From the Mid Cornwall Metro official page: https://midcornwallmetro.com/

I think part of the later problem was also Essex council not wanting to fund/ subsidise the line, and the GLC reluctant to pay for a service outside of London. shame it went, I had a few rides just after I started work on LUL.

Or use the non stop Avanti services from Euston to Tamworth and just pay to Milton Keynes which is cheaper. Depends on your destination

this ticket from LONDON TO CARLISLE should be okay for the journey from Kings cross to Hexham and allows break of journey overnight. you will probably require the same on the way back, unless you can get a cheap advance. journey must start after 0906 SUPER OFFPEAK S SSS Route VIA NEWCASTLE...
