    RMT industrial action 5th - 12 September 2025

    I think that the RMT are not expecting the strike to last all week as the weak government that we now unfortunately have will back down.

    Deploying volunteers to clear lineside vegetation, how realistic is this?

    These people are in this position because they were fiscally responsible when they worked and should not be forced to pay extra taxes to cover for people who have wasted their money.

    First-timer's Take: What it's really like on the LNER Azuma

    Re the seats and the ambience, I think you are referring to the GWR 800s. The LNER seats, while not very comfortable, tend not to be broken.

    Accessible Trainspotting Locations in York for Fast Trains?

    York Pullman run a bus service every 2 hours to Colton where you can walk across a field and watch trains from a footbridge which is right by Colton Junction which is a 125 mph junction. It is pretty isolated so take your own food and drink.
