    Confusion regarding reservations for journey to Exeter booked through LNER

    Thank you, that does make sense as on the ticket it says it is valid until the end of the month which I didn't realise that's the option that I selected. Perhaps I am being stupid. but there is a overwhelming array of different prices and options and booking websites (companies). That made...

    Hello all I have emailed LNER this, however they have not responded. Basically I have booked tickets for 2 passengers , return travel to Exeter from Darlington so I have 4 tickets / bar-codes in total. I have made seat reservations, for both journeys and they have emailed my tickets me. on the...

    "Another" Wensleydale Railway

    If it's anything like the "Real" WRW, then they won't achieve their object for many years (if at all) and will have some volunteers/staff of the rudest kind. This is just my opinion, and may not be of others.

    What has caused the large increase in delays to LNER services recently?

    There was also a turbo related fire ( I think) near Durham a few days ago. This will have caused delays on the ECML. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/17956767.fire-breaks-train-east-coast-mainline-near-durham/

    Trivia: Signals That Never Show Green

    Class 90's at Edinburgh

    That's great, thank you - that would make sense, that they are stabled there. Ready to be used.

    Class 90's at Edinburgh

    Hi apologies if this is a silly question. Every time I visit Edinburgh Waverley (admittedly not that often) there are a pair of 90's stabled up. Do they ever move? This was taken in September 2019

    Trivia: Signals That Never Show Green

    I don't know if this would count, Signal T888 on the northbound platform at Darlington Railway Station. this picture is looking South. I don't think I have ever seen a movement facing south on this platform, There are shunting Signals attached so I don't think it would be used for that...

    Shortage of volunteers

    Agreed, I would love to go back. Some of the staff/volunteers where great. But I won't go back because I know for a certain fact these people in question are still there. (I saw them on a recent Organisational Youtube Video) I was treated like ****, and other where, so as such they lost a...

    Shortage of volunteers

    No, I know when people are downright rude, especially when saying to another volunteer (a young lad) "For ***** sake, show this idiot how to couple a train" and (to me) "Well what the **** are you telling me for?" when I was trying to follow procedure. Then being accused of stealing, and not...

    Shortage of volunteers

    This was so my experience, I suffer with anxiety, and using my love of all things "Railway" thought that this would be a good way to help me and meet new people. I was so shocked at how rude some of the volunteers where, and that fact that new members where more of inconvenience to them, it...

    Heritage Railways and Mainline Freight

    Wensleydale Railway. Linked to the ECML carries (or used to, someone feel free to correct me) armoured vehicles for the Army stationed in Catterick Garrison nearby. The Station at redmire has Ramps to the tracks for the unloading of vehicles.

    Best routes to find Pacers?

    Bishop Auckland / Darlington to Saltburn for plenty of 142's. Thoroughly recommend the route all the way to Saltburn as you skirt round the old British Steel site. I took this picture from the Darlington bay's waiting to depart to Saltburn. The ride very bumpy, and flange squeal a plenty as...
