    East-West Rail (EWR): Consultation updates [not speculation]

    I like Bedford. I don't like Milton Keynes. There, said it. As I see it a good case has been made for 6 tracks north from Bedford. The amount of demolishing required seems reasonable. Missing out the main station would be ludicrous. Including it may mean reinstatement of a decent northbound...

    Where it isn't possible to complete the journey in one day

    Yes it is. However 'into their destination' is, simply, wrong. It should be either 'to their destination' or, even better, the three words should be omitted entirely.

    Where it isn't possible to complete the journey in one day

    1. I don't see where it says that. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. 4. Yes. My post, though, was made in response to the clumsy use of language (into their destination) and for the use of a non defined term (long-haul train journey).

    The best railway moments

    It's the pleasant feeling of being almost home; a reminder that one is near journey's end 1686409551 Yes, changing trains at Blackfriars rather than any of the other core stations is a pleasure.

    The best railway moments

    Crossing the Mersey Bridge out of Runcorn northbound after sunset. And I concur with heading south from Girvan and countless bits of the far north line.

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    Booked through the site for travel tomorrow Lidlington to Wimbledon specifying a change at Blackfriars. No problem with the booking, a combination of off-peak day return and anytime day return. However, rather than the expected 4 coupons (split at London Terminals/Thameslink) I actually got 8...
