    Late returns from London to Midlands

    Hi all, Just wondering if there are any plans to introduce any later running trains from London to the Trent Valley (Lichfield in particular) - It seems the last reasonable direct train leaves Euston at 10pm - hardly that late. There are later trains to Birmingham and Derby but no onward...

    Unidentified Station...

    Hello, Each time I travel from Lichfield to Euston we pass an old disused platform on the southbound side of the WCML. I think it's south of Tamworth but I could be wrong - its not very far from there. There are platform remains and blue lamposts & lights. I don't think there is anything on...

    Burton to Falmouth

    Hi all, Can anyone advise the likelyhood of HST's on the Burton on Trent - Falmouth route - I am getting the 1038 CrossCountry from Burton to Plymouth (then change onto FGW) in a couple of weeks time. I know the 0838 service is usually a HST, but what about services later that morning? I...

    Lichfield activity

    Hi all, A quick question about a train I keep seeing just north of Lichfield Trent Valley. My place of work looks out onto the west coast mainline, and every so often I see what looks like a Southeastern class 375 (My knowledge of this is limited, so I googled at and that's what it said!) - a...

    Hi all, I have recently had 2 Delay Repay claims with about £25 worth of vouchers sent to me as compensation. Firstly as an aside, I can't get over the fact that in this day and age the companies think that paper vouchers are acceptable! Anyway....My question is if I want to book a...
