Does anyone have a copy of
MALÝ ATLAS LOKOMOTIV 2023
for sale or knowledge of where I might be able to purchase a copy from ?
(without having to travel to a bookshop in Czechia !)
Thank you for both replies. They make things much clearer.
There is no + symbol so clearly it is not valid via London.
There is a 2V restriction which I think means it is not valid before 0930 Monday to Friday. Otherwise any of the 3 other routes I listed is it appears possible.
When you say a...
I have an off peak return booked for the above journey.
I am a bit confused about which route(s) the ticket would be valid on.
e.g.. Westbury - Bristol -- Birmingham - Doncaster
Or Westbury - Swindon- Gloucester - Birmigham - Doncaster
Or Westbury - Reading - Birmingham - Doncaster

The "reason" given for most is the meaningless " this is due to a short notice change to the timetable" Why not be transparent & honest and state that the real reason is a lack of train crew...
1203 Liverpool to Euston Sunday 14/05/23
LSL Mk 3 set so much more comfortable than an Avanti Pendolino (refurbished or not) or LNER Azuma or GWR IET set.

When a graphic of a particular train is shown with the carriages that make up the train which end of the diagram represents the front of the train?
I assume the front of the train is on the left side? Is that correct ?
For example A--B--C--D--E
A is the first coach & E is the last...
Can Charfield Loops be used by passenger trains?
I ask because numerous times in the past month, and today is a good example, 1M93 Bristol to Manchester is delayed by 2V63 Weymouth to Gloucester.
2V63 is approx. 20mins late and started to delay 1M93 at Filton Abbey Wood. Unbelievably it was...

Thank you for the information. I have tried the GWR site and it indeed works as far as recognising the trains I want and processing the information but then says it is unable to book seats with this operator ie. XC trains.
I think I will contact XC trains and ask why they won't allow seat...
