You can certainly reserve seats on LM. I often get the 18.24 from Euston to Crewe (I get off at H&W), and that always has plenty of reserved seats from Euston. What's funny is the look of bemused commuters being asked to move by other passnegers who have had the seats reserved. They seem not to...

I can't figure out her accent. It sounds Italian, maybe even middle easten. But it is a lovely voice. I hope she's not the type that has the perfect face for radio!

Sounds like a typical bendy bus scenario!

So the wench making the announcements at Euston is not Sarah. Hmmmn, the mystery deepends!

There are several non-English accents making announcements at Euston. Those making announcements at Harrow & Wealdstone sound like they've only managed a C at GCSE English.

This Sarah gets about a bit then.

Yesterday during the strike, I got the 16.02 home from Euston and had the whole carriage to myself. LM owed me that!

There's a female announcer at Euston, I think she sounds Italian. But a very sexy voice at that.

You ought to see the mad rushes in stations in countries like China and Egypt! Makes the likes of Euston embarkation look like a stroll!

Any chance they could redesign their timetable while they are in this mood??

Totally agree. I hope they do a good job of sprucing it up. I'd like to have seen Euston up for redevelopment as well, but I think Kings Cross is more pressing.

You can hear a bit of a thump in a 350.

I certainly hope that in 5 years time LM will have employed enough staff to run their scheduled services! I'd like to see a network that the UK can be proud of, and people to feel lucky that at least they have a railway to get from A to just about B. I think too many people do not respect the...

You may be right. It is poorly staffed, especially at night. The installation of the ticket barriers was poorly thought out. You often get commuters clogged on the staircase to exit the station. Also it has effectively split the ticket hall in half, with one window line side, and the other road...

I don't think the Southern use of LM stock has been publicised properly. At H&W, announcements aren't that great, and sometimes nothing is said at all. Snce TfL took over H&W, I think the number of anouncements made for LM services have reduced, so I wouldn't be surprised if a number of people...

Any news of people mistaking LM trains for Southern services?

...and pigs might fly!

LM suffering a bout of broken down trains and train faults this morning! This hardly ever happened with the trusty 321s!

Good thread and enjoyed reading those opinions. I think privatisation has certainly helped improve infrastructure, with upgraded track and signalling, and the multititude of modern trains. However, what is sadly lacking, is harmonisation across the network. There are too many TOCs, and of those...

Very impressive. I wonder what the journey time would be if the Pendolinos were allowed to hit top speed?
