Thanks for this. Would really prefer the direct service, but your site is bringing up cheaper fares than LNER and other TOCs for alternatives. Hoping for some decent First Class seats as those Azuma ironing boards get uncomfortable around Peterborough! :D Billy

I remember using Amtrak a few years ago and they still shouted "All aboard!!" on the platform. 1702896380 Wait till they find out about antimacassars! 1702896475 That sounds about right - I lived in Wick at the time, and ScotRail were the last "franchise" to go live.

I was attempting to book a ticket from London to Inverness, and it appears that they are not operating to Inverness at all, in January. Initially I thought it was the specific dates I was trying, but a wider search shows that, in fact all dates in January are unavailable. I then thought it may...

I have a soft spot for Stirling.

I had no idea, were they told to launch a Wrexham Euston service too?

I remember this well. Before another 40 minutes was added to the journey to Wick. Think it was National Express' idea, who subsequently bought Scottish Citylink who operated Inverness to Wick. I'm not implying any skulduggery here though! They were were then told to sell Citylink.

SWR's response has been pretty shocking. I had a customer who simply wanted to use her Axminster - Woking ticket from Dorchester South instead. (There's a direct bus, running normally, between Axminster and Dorchester South) An absolute NO from the SWR Twitter/X team. Will there be a rail...

You don't have the famously "competition welcomed" Virgin Trains about... :lol:

The EMR situation at St. Pancras is pretty poor, even on quiet days it feels like they have been given a tiny space, which, given the vastness of the station is weird.

Sydenham Hill is beautifully located but feels really dangerous at night time, with a narrow path through a wood between the station and College Road. These pics are from a few years ago, maybe it's been brightened up.

CIE used to have radio trains in Ireland. I think they played records Had a great evening on the Watercress Line on a rail ale train a few years ago. EDIT: they still do them...

CS in public ownership.

I'm sure they'd called it eau d'Ecosse

You mean sautéed pommes de terre julienne? :D

From the CS website. It's a sausage roll and baked beans isn't it? :D

I would have hazarded a guess at some of the Cornish stations with regular direct trains to London. Like Redruth, population 14k, with GWR and CrossCountry services to London, Edinburgh etc.

I love the Bakerloo Line. It's really bouncy after Queens Park! :D 1687427961 When I lived in Cockfosters, I thought great, a direct tube to Green Park, moments from the office. Pretty quickly discovered that during disruption, which was often, Arnos Grove to Cockfosters would be ditched...

Well that didn't last long, last services run on Sunday, 25th June 2023. National Express may re-instate their second service Tue-Thu, will wait and see.
