I dont think alternating is a good way to get business customers to use it. They just want to use it when they need it, not plan around when it runs.

I think you are thinking similar to me. I would propose one section from Plymouth leaving at say 8pm. South Wales is just an idea, there are a few service companies down their due to cheap rents. They have a large need to meet corporate clients face to face. No passive aggressiveness statemtns...

I agree with most of what is said here. I think the main undeserved market is south west to scotland or even northern England. However a big market would be Swansea / Cardiff/ Newport to Scotland. Could go via Cheltnam and Birmingham and get extra passengers there too. One of my big questions...

Changed at Grantham today, costa shut, Starbucks shut. New bar / pub is open. Paddington had majority of things clossed at 8pm today, even burger King! Didn't spot one open coffee shop.

My experience is that they only get used a lot when theirs server disruption, I remember being stuck at Leeds for 3 hours once and every single vending machine on my platform had been raided an hour and a half in. Probably didn't help that it was a Sunday afternoon

As a frequent traveller on LNER who is visially imapired, they are rubbish. When i travel with my partner who's in an electric wheelchair, they pretty much always appear quickly with a ramp. When I travel by myself, theyre useless. I am lucky that I can get off without any help but need help...

Any indicators what the plans are for next Saturday? I'm travelling from blackwater via Reading to Skegness for family reasons and would love to ride a HST again!

Hi everyone, So haven't seen anything on the forum yet about this (semi announced) refurbishment programme. Given the fact their due to leave and avanti are probably losing money quicker then they can count this seems really odd to me What does everyone think? Is it just utilising the spare...

I can beat all of that. A year with cross country to compensate for stranding me in Birmingham!

I've had this thought for a long time, in my oppinion route knowledge needs to be there for a diversion so both but the XC route is preffered as it serves greater populations. Maybe a bit earlier departure from Swansea, say 9PM would allow some sleepy Brummies to get the train too. As well as...

I was aware there is an 11 minute headway but wasn't sure where. How likely is it that network rail actually resignal it all thou? I remember reading a proposal from Surrey council to get 3tph and reduce headway on this line but it concluded that it costs loads to do it so I thought it had been...

I get that it is not a service reduction for Blackwater but a service increase is desperately needed at Blackwater. In terms of too London, via Readibg is just as fast and much nicer due to intercity trains. Many people prefer via reading but give up on that route due to massively overcrowded...

Fairwarning: first comment ever but been reading for years. Sorry I hate this timetable. Why is Blackwater not getting 3 tph when it has a higher passenger usage than Dorking Deepdeen and Dorking West combined? I know the usage was declining but that's probably driven by the fact you can hardly...
