    Delays .. with split tickets .. could it prove expensive ?

    I've just been watching a YouTube video and the chap is travelling from the SW of England up to Scotland. He has a number of tickets for the journey, but luckily, the trip only involves 2 separate trains. He had a short connection time and implied that, due to his split tickets, if he missed...

    Why would LNER seat allocations not be in operation ?

    My wife and I travelled to London late last year and to Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago .. both times on LNER from Newcastle and every journey has been 100% .. maybe a minute or two late or even early .. don't remember, but arrived at about the time expected. So as far as we are concerned LNER...

    Why would LNER seat allocations not be in operation ?

    Oh, very sad. The lack of seats pales into insignificance with this tragic news 1680966948 In the end, the train arrived only about 13 mins late but after the tragic incident this is very very minor

    My daughter is currently on an LNER train to London with her two young children, from Newcastle She made the booking and selected the seats she wanted .. obviously all together and next to a table. She gets on the train and is informed that no reservations are in effect, so has to struggle to...

    What is the best way .. Newcastle (NCL) to Liverpool Lime Street (LIV)

    OP here Thank you everybody for your replies. Regards the journey to Liverpool I'll certainly just book the 10:06 direct TPE train and keep my fingers crossed. For the return trip, I fancy the Liverpool - Preston - Carlisle - Newcastle route, just for the change of scenery. My wife though...

    Newcastle to Glasgow Retun via Edinburgh : can I stop in Edinburgh at all

    Just as a matter of interest ... if the first train arrived late, leaving too short of time to reach the second train .. am I correct to say you would be able to take the next train (as long as there was space of course) Travelling to Glasgow I have a 25-minute gap and on the return 23 minutes

    Newcastle to Glasgow Retun via Edinburgh : can I stop in Edinburgh at all

    Thanks .. we are staying in Edinburgh anyway in March, so the May stop off was just 'a maybe' Checking on the Scotrail website, although the exact date does not yet have tickets available .. the same train exactly two weeks earlier would have been £18.40 total (for my wife and I) whereas our...

    Newcastle to Glasgow Retun via Edinburgh : can I stop in Edinburgh at all

    Update .. on the tickets all times are shown .. the return journey is GLQ (15:15) to EDB (16:07), then EDB (16:30) to Newcastle Having a few hours in Edinburgh would seem ideal if it's allowed.

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    I'm thinking about going to York from Newcastle in a couple of months time (on a Sunday) and the 2nd class fare (with railcard) is £13.30 but 1st class is only £14.25, so I'll obviously pick that. Is there coffee and tea provided ? Anything else ? I remember years and years ago travelling to...
