And is it just going to be sat around doing nothing til early 2012? Seems idiotic:roll:

The 0735 kings x to Leeds is running tomorrow so more than likley will be on thursday as well

Good luck with that, i cant see you managing to get anything, especially as EC is allowing customers to travel 2 hours either side of there booking

It gets busy further down the line but if you are joining at Leeds, head to coach M (the very front coach), which is mostly unreserved and find a table in there, i dont know of any guards that will have a problem with this. If possiable get there about 15/20 mins early, the train should be...

Suppose it makes sense as far as the PPMs go, sure i read somewhere that if a train is over an hour late its classed as cancelled? (sorry if thats complete rubbish but sure i did read it). If thats the case then you might as well cancel a train an hour late and make it the next one, which would...

OK, thanks for the reply silentone, i hope for the sake of jobs, passengers and the company it all goes smoothly and achieves its goal, i look forward to it.

All the more reason to have a business plan to try and boost first class numbers then. It might not work but its worth a try. It could appeal to upgrade on the day on long journeys knowing you get a meal, alcoholic drinks, free wifi, and a table to yourself to spread out in. You only need 5 or...

Do u know if the 1st ones are finished yet? Ive heard nothing about it and i make it 26 weeks til May 22nd with 42 catering vehicles to complete, not including the coach K refits on the mark IVs, u dont have to be a maths genius to work out thats more than 1 a week, they need to shift it along...

The trainline seems to offer these prices on those trains Sun! has mentioned

Glad u enjoyed your meal Dave. The business plan seems to be is that they hope over time through word of mouth/advertising of the first class offer that the customer travelling standard class will decide to go first instead, whether that be from std anytime to first anytime, std adv to first adv...

No, cereals are only offered if its a full restaurant service. U can purchase porridge (1.75) or yoghurt with granola (2.50), smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with tomatoes and muffin (12.00) or contienental breakfast (9.00)

Just unlucky i reckon, Friday is busiest day of week and if someone goes sick it has be the trolley thats canned. Change is just one of those things, sometimes everyone pays with a 20 note, sometimes they have the change. U can make top off orders at York and Newcastle but hot and cold...

These were the pipers crisps, they were very nice too. They were infact made in Lincolnshire, but one of the flavours was Biggleswade Sweet Chilli (they were my favourites):D

The 27th yes is very busy, but the other days the trains are half empty

Problem with this is the anglo scot services on a weekend, especially the aberdeen/inverness trains is that they sell all first class seats as advance tickets as there is hardly ever any passengers travelling on first anytime tickets on a weekend, if they were to run a restaurant service they...

As 91107 says the sets have to be in position for the morning, otherwise it has a knock on effect tomorrow, it could be they would not have had enough HSTs in London for the morning if they had sent your train with one?? Only EMT can answer that for you

Could be a swap for set positioning reasons, because of earlier disruption/cancellations EMT may need a meridian in Nottingham for the morning, for a service which is booked to be a meridian, not much good to you and your fellow passengers at the moment though.

The EC website doesnt show alterations once that day has passed, yes Garforth would be the best route but was obviously not possible, it could have been the driver or guard did not pass Castleford because they had not had any recent route learning that way. Bit puzzaling why it stood outside...

Been told there will be no more but also no less staff, that includes chefs so the selected trains will probably be the same amount as is now with restaurants/at seat dining, not sure if they wiil be the exact same trains however. Yeah think you hit the nail on the head about paying to staff...

It was on the website for a number of weeks that this train would be making an additional stop at York because of the football with an ammended arrival time into Leeds of 0325. Why the signaller put it that route i dont know, maybe the paths were clear of any frieght so it was the best route??
