I remember that GNER introduced Standard+ where complimentary tea and coffee was served, I think it was aimed at the business traveller.

I'm late to this particular party (thread) but I'd have them on the Stanstead to Birmingham NS route instead of the ghastly 170s. Sure you may be wasting a 125mph capable unit where it couldn't be fully utilised; but oh well! :D Then I'd also want to extend the service to International as well...

If you get an Oyster Card you can have your railcard discount added to that. If you're travelling this weekend then coming back on Sunday means Thameslink to Bedford and a rail replacement bus from there back to Peterborough due to the engineering works at KGX.

I qualify for a ENCTS card due to my poor mental health, but the annoying thing is I don't for a disabled persons railcars because the eligibility is pretty rigid for it.

I say £50 but you could go anywhere between £50-£70. A price which is worth it if you make more than a couple of trips a year but cost prohibited if you don't use the train that often.

In an ideal world this would happen! I'd increase the subsidy from government, sure it would mean more tax payers money going towards people who use trains but it is supposed to be public transport after all! Or failing cutting fares wholesale, I would like to see ANOTHER railcard introduced...

Makes me wonder if there's enough clearance under the bridges at Stamford and Oakham.

Just like Uncle Buck's car...

Just a handful of pics of where some of the work is taking place. The Bungalow went last Wednesday and the cottages will soon follow on a Sunday at some point. Lots of vegetation has been cleared.

BTW the signal in question is P864. I really appreciate fellow posters taking the time to answer my question! But knowing why the signal never shows a red aspect was what I was all I really wanted know!

I like the women that does the announcements from Peterborough PSB, I don't know her name. Of course Phil Sayer is(was) a legend too.

Thank you both for your very quick replies! Much appreciated! Yes I believe it is the first in the Peterborough area.

There's a signal on the GNGE shortly before it reaches Werrington Junction (sorry don't know the number) that I frequently walk past and it only every shows amber or green. Even when a train passes it at green it immediately goes back to amber, never red. Why is this?

I assume the message "Please note it is currently only possible for reservation amendments to be completed on Virgin Trains East Coast." is part of the ongoing problems with the seat selector? And yes the service I'm trying to change the seats on is an EC train :p, the 17:51 KGX to HGT. Getting...

Has anyone mentioned: "Don't hesitate to find myself or another member of the crew"?

Hst mtu.

Can't beat the roar of a 91 both when arriving and departing, I shall miss it when they're gone. :(

Wouldn't it make sense to take out two of the platforms so one can be extended and become full length and able to take IC trains as others suggested? It's a shame only one would be able to be kept but obviously extending means taking out a lot of track and point work and there's not exactly a...

The sound is like a 365/373 mashup :) The flickering lights remind me of watching GT cars in The FIA WEC. :D

Now I may not be remembering rightly*, but I believe I've done KGX to PB0 in 39/40 minutes a few years ago, I think it was a 20:00 departure on a Saturday evening, after attending The Emirates. *A fairly decent amount of beer had probably been consumed by then.
