    Trips travelling on (or seeing) the final remaining EMR HSTs

    There are more than enough LNER Azumas running today for people not to need to divert to EMR. Passenger loadings are still far lower than normal. Next week though people in England can book hotels or equivalent for leisure purposes.

    Entire 800/801/802 fleet stood down for safety checks

    If the HST is ex Midland or ECML, it might not be fitted with ATP required for GW mainline into Paddington, coaches maybe useful for GWR power cars though. Such a shame there is no light engine moves from Kidderminster to pick up the rake, according to real time trains.

    I have done First Class all line rovers the last 4 years. The overcrowded Standard Class only trains before Covid19 put me off travelling on rural routes with certain operators. As a previous poster has said the LNER north of Edinburgh trains can also be really full south of Edinburgh even in...

    Castle Cary footbridge

    The bridge is permanent enough to be lit up tonight with lights on the steps to prevent people tripping. Just passed 5 minutes ago.

    GWR reduced capacity

    I have only been on 3 IET services in past 6 days. No reservations on this service on the boards on each departure. You can reserve a PLACE on the train as a guarantee, but the services are very lightly loaded. You will not be reserved an identifiable seat number. Either phone the GWR number...

    Avanti Reservations

    The Avanti seat reservation was changed from compulsory to strongly recommended on Wednesday. Their reservation system isn't fit for purpose if you have a valid ticket without a reservation, so therefore was unenforceable. I emailed the reservation email link with no reply. Also tried to get a...
