You would just carry on as normal, a agreement between EC control centre and NR control centre will have been made and the guard informed on the next connecting NR service to Hull to pass EC only tickets.

The brief sent out to staff was any ticket so yes can't see a problem with a rewards ticket.

It is still running however it is strictly at the guards discretion, they will make a call based on how many spare seats are in first and after consulting with the catering crew leader if there is sufficient food on board. Due to staff feedback the offer is no longer available on peak time...

The potato cake and frittata on the breakfast have been taken off and replaced with an omelette and sliced potatoes as per the previous menu

G-TUIE had run into problems a few days before the emergency landing in the Azures, on 30 July on a flight from East Midlands to Cancun, it was 3 hours into its journey when it turned back and landed in Manchester due to technical problems. Wonder if the problems were related.

EC has sent a brief out to all guards that they can at their discretion offer a £25 upgrade to first class on any weekday service, throughout the next few weeks, flat rate no matter the length of the journey, this offer will run until Sep 5th. The upgrade voucher is only valid on the train...

I suppose if they did it that way platforms 7 and 14 could be used at Leeds, they get little use at the moment. Could actually free some platform space up

The Saturday morning Skipton service still does operate this route. I believe it was the Harrogate service back in GNER days.

Not just one I'm afraid, she has been breeding in Leeds as well. She can be found at the escalators on 13B and 15A as well as in her usual spot between platforms 6 and 8 :twisted:

Staff are told NOT to open vestibule doors in the event of an air con failure as it can result in the failure of the adjacent carriage as well. Believe it or not, all the air con units had a overhaul on both train types recently. In fact all the sets were completed by his time last year and as a...

Does that apply at weekends though Robbo?

Yes the York - KX stoppers still leave at 1001 and 1201. EC do tend to run them on their bank holiday Monday timetable.

I didn't think to take any but they have branded them Flying tiger, I'm sure if you google flying tiger buses there should be some photos about. If not ill try and take some by the end of the week. :D

Travelled on one of these today, pretty impressive. Luggage space, decent leg room, free wifi and plug sockets. In a smart blue livery rather than the usual orange too. An increased frequency to every 20 mins also. Certainly a step in the right direction.

In my experience of double booked seats on EC, one of the 2 parties/persons have used The Train Line to book their tickets

Even if FGW wanted to put travelling chef/Pullman on a Sunday, if Sunday is not currently part of the chefs/restaurant hosts roster then you are going to have a hell of a job convincing a union rep to put them in without some large incentives.

Are Northern staff contracted to work Sundays?

Wakefield to London

It was part of big cut in costs on catering staff and restructure of the catering offer, all through voluntary redundancy if I remember correctly. They did replace it with 'at seat dining' on selected trains which offered a good breakfast for 10 or 12 quid but the evening dishes were a bit of a...
