A lorry has now collided with a bridge between Grantham and Peterborough (Harlaxton Road Bridge). I think it's going to be one of those days again.

So, an update on this one... I originally had a stock reply from ScotRail which answered precisely nothing and was clearly a quick attempt to resolve the ticket. I replied and said that this wasn't really good enough, I'd like a human response and some kind of explanation. In the meantime, I...

It is indeed the case that the 2100 starts Peterborough, 2200 departs late (with additional calls) and 2300 is cancelled.

Not as extreme as the other examples given, but I had a nice stand-off on Saturday morning trying to get off a London Overground service at Barking. Doors opened and I was greeted by a wall of people trying to shove forwards. I made a "parting the sea" gesture and asked people to move. It took...

I recall working at a station several years ago when someone attempted to get three huge suitcases on the escalator. They shoved one on then tried to drag the other two behind them, only catching my attention when it was too late to intervene. When the first one tipped over and knocked them...

Last Sunday I took a BAe Jetstream 41 from Wick to Aberdeen with Eastern Airways. Wick Airport is a curious little affair - about a 15-minute walk from the centre of town. Very friendly staff - with the one lady on check-in also taking us out to the plane. All but the tiniest bags also go in...

I really like ČD. You're either in for some old-fashioned stock (with accompanying comfortable seats) or something high-quality and a little more modern (such as the InterJet or refurbished Bmz carriages). Staff have improved in recent years and while they're not necessarily all smiles, they get...

Yup, about 15 mins but no path most of the way.

I needed to keep heading west after so it was a slightly brutal steep walk up the hill to Liskeard!

I have a couple of Chiltern-related videos on the work socials and I've noticed that in the past week, there's been a spike of people in the comments slagging off Chiltern and complaining that the trains were too full, very likely because they had WCML passengers on as well. Face it, it would...

I've submitted a lengthy complaint to ScotRail so will see what they say. It really isn't the cancellation itself, but the fact I was sent on a silly wild goose chase then talked to like a misbehaving child when I said I wasn't comfortable with the option being suggested. (Being screamed at to...

Nine-car: 3-42 Five-car and 10-car: 1-38. 225s should be similar but the displays are often bust so it's difficult to tell. C is last to be reserved (when you're doing it online) as you can't use anything like the LNER seat selector for it - it's just randomly allocated when the rest is full...

It's frustrating as DB does get a lot right (such as your Sparpreis/Supersparpreis ticket becoming a de-facto Anytime ticket after a 25 min delay) but unless you're constantly checking the DB app or thinking on your feet, it's easy to end up feeling rather lost when something goes wrong...

Hi all, I've just ended up in a bit of a predicament with ScotRail. I was travelling from Kyle of Lochalsh to Wick - changing at Dingwall. The Wick train at 1438ish has been cancelled. The advice was to catch the X99 which goes nowhere near Dingwall, so I asked the conductor on the Kyle train...

The main issue will be the Overtime Ban on Northern, particularly if you're travelling around the North West. It's making things unpredictable at best but on Sundays some lines are seeing no service at all.

Happy to say I've been surprised and we've had another drinks run around Dalwhinnie. I went for the Homity Pie earlier which was decent enough, though I'm glad I ate before getting on the train (and will probably again in Inverness!) I didn't pay any actual money for this journey though it...

Bit naff on the northbound Chieftain today. The previous train was binned at Newcastle so full and standing up the aisles as far as Edinburgh and naturally no service. One drinks and food run after Edinburgh, all done by Falkirk. One drinks run after Perth. The staff look to be merrily...

There's a lot of duplication between this thread and this one here. We don't need two threads on the OP's predicament - so this one is locked.
