Hi all
i am going to book for a reasonable price a ticket for a London midland train Euston Friday 21st October 1913 for 13 pounds, what is the likelyhood i will get a seat as it is first class but i know how crowded Euston is peak and post peak Friday LM don't do seat reservations in standard...
This annoys me as everyone else is havijng to bear with cuts and zero pay rises they shouod be grateful they are getting any at all sorry to be so blunt but it's just how things are unti msay 12 months time. I knwo they all do a great job but so do others in other areas
OOh FC lounge would be good, shame i dont have alaptop anymore it got stolen last weekend whilst in Manchester, which i'm not at all happy about but the FC ;lounge would be nice as oi will be coming from Blackpool and will psooibly have an hours wait as i don't want to risk missing my...
I am being very stupid here but if i were a manager or the MD i'd be out there looking and talking and seeing what my passengers think around Manchester and Leeds and what they have to put up with every day and what they want and as long a process it is i'd be thinking of reallocation...
Well finally things will happen for the North, yes the 3 car trains will be perfect for routes in need of 1 extra carriage therefore freeing up other 1 carriages to add elsewhere or form another 2 car train elsewhere how many 153s does Northern have as 1 car trains? might the need to move stock...
I actually think the tickets are a bargain with LM in some cases
6 pounds for a longer journey doesn't bother me, o.k. so i've got no plug socket or might be stuck on a commuter 3+2 train but its a bargain and the is often enough space to relax as the off peak trains are not so bad the...
I'm planning of returning from manchester on either 23rd 24th or 25th of august before the bank holiday. I was hoping for some part of my journey to be first class and treat myself with advanced tickets flexible on what days I go i've looked online 34.50 for virgin first class anyone got any...
ha ha ha that's a joke x country barely have enough trains to run their lines although saying that manchster to stafford is a great price and usually not too overcrowded
I actually quite like the slow train from London to crew via northants, rugby and stations via stoke
it's got good connections to manchester, cheap and never over crowded- i'm quite happy to add an hour and a bit to my journey if i save money virigin;s just a rip off and squashed sardines at...
I know its a month ago nearly but was anyone caught up in all of this and will delay repay at all be used? kept the ticket as it was an open return super of peak st pancras to notts?
I was always wondering what do you get in first class with virgin if I travelled around 12 or 1pm weekdays?
they're having a sale and going to treat myself on the way back!
quick silly question if a ticket is valid until 6th july is that including the 6th july?
thanks my partner has emt ticket and runs out 6th which i think is a weds?
I would all complain the x country.
Their service is pooh poor and their overcrowding is getting worse and worse. I only everr use xc when i am going stafford to manchester as it's so v v cheap if i were going further i'd not be happy at ALL if i was a 1s
t class customer paying a fortune for...
Whilst i appreciate the damaged train was no their fault they havce had ample tome to sort it out. Just goes to show how Nationalo express don't give a damn seeing how they won't be running those routes soon.
Shame as c2s is excellent and east anglia well rubbish imho, dirty, non refurbed...
I know Fgw WERE not seen as a great franchise a few yars back but their HSTs look good inside, more steating is better than less and was so needed due to the overcrowding i mean FGW trains are crowded enough now, but their prices are ridiculous for say short journeys to swindon. They do a good...
I remember my first tiem on part of this line. It was the 12 40 ish i think to aberywstwyth was apparently always an hour late and so it was for us too i had awful time keeping i thik it left shrewsbury 45 mins late so we lost almost an hour when we went on thr steam railway and had less time to...
Ok so Pacers aren't great but they are fit for their purpose and get people from a to b it's either that or northern ask the dft to allow them to buy stock and our prices increase further to pay for them. Pacers are fun on the colne to blackpool s route but they do need ddoubling up in the...
