Will there be any disruptions (planned) for this journey please ? For that date, tickets are available on the forum's site, although still at a high price, but for several previous Sundays, bus replacements are running. How can I find out about any planned maintenance .. that will save me...

I booked a trip for my granddaughter and myself using a family & friends railcard. Now a friend wants to go too .. can I book this new ticket and get the F&F railcard discount ? I know the railcard is for up to 4 adults and 4 children, but is this only valid when all tickets are purchased together

I was looking at the Caledonian Sleeper service and note there are drop-off and pickup points on this service. I know there are other routes where this takes place What is the reason for this ? Surely, if it was a time thing, then just whizzing through the station without a stop would be the...

Next weekend my wife and I are travelling to Leeds from Newcastle on these trains .. 10:27 - 11:30 LNER, Newcastle to York 11:42 - 12:05 XCountry, York to Leeds Even with senior railcards, I am sure we could both easily change platforms if required to make our 2nd train. However, we have...

That's good news. My wife and I often travel away by train, but take the Metro first, from home to Newcastle Central .. it might be more fun changing on to the N.R. train at Northumberland Park .. will just depend on timings. I wouldn't mind waiting, but my wife wouldn't be so keen. How long...

Yesterday I noticed several adverts, both on the platform and next to the escalators at Central Station about free Wi-Fi. I was intrigued, as I was often puzzled to see other folk on the Metro train happily using their phone while underground, whereas my phone never gets a signal. I asked a...

Seems a decent deal .. my daughter did this earlier this year and had a great time. Meals are extra https://www.dfds.com/en-gb/passenger-ferries/exclusive-offers/holiday-pirates-offers1

I'm planning a short day trip to Sheffield while my wife and I are staying in Leeds next February, but all the outward journeys are partly by bus, but the return legs are not. What is going on please ? thank you BTW .. Hope everybody had / is having a good Christmas

I've just seen online Northern are offering cheap tickets from Whitby. As low as £2, for the almost 3-hour journey to Newcastle from Whitby .. see image Return fare not as cheap, but not too bad

Just noticed a film from 1970 is on TV now (Freeview channel 90) I remember watching it as a kid, I think on Christmas Day and thinking it was hilarious. I remember the title to this day

My wife and I are visiting Leeds and York early in 2026 I've already booked the main journeys, NCL - LDS and then YRK - NCL, but haven't decided on the journey in the middle, between Leeds and York. It will be on a Tuesday at about midday, say departure times between 11:13 and 12:41 The...

Yesterday, while at Newcastle Station, I heard several announcements. Every time a Northern Rail train was mentioned, the announcement ended with something like "Penalty fares are in operation on this service .. you must buy a ticket before boarding the train" This is never mentioned with LNER...

Two of us are visiting Durham tomorrow, just a few minutes by train from Newcastle. We had tickets booked on the TPE train, but I have just received an email stating that the train has been cancelled. The message indicates that our ticket will be valid on LNER trains, two hours before or after...

My wife and I intend booking a short trip to Glasgow for early 2026 and fancy a trip to Rothesay. This involves a train from Glasgow Central to Wemyss Bay, then a ship over to Rothesay .. all very exciting Looking at ticket prices, it looks like it will be £30.60 for the two of us (with senior...

I have just found this website, which provides live station announcements .. link below Amey Live Train Announcements Adding an online departure board, such as found on TIGER helps too, just pick the correct station and your preferred display

I was at Newcastle station yesterday and was surprised at how clear the announcements seemed to be. I've been to other stations where 'catching' a few words is all you can hear. No doubt Newcastle isn't the best, but for me, I think it is. What other stations have clear announcements .. and...

What ticket would be best for a quick visit to Stirling and Perth, from a base in Edinburgh Park ? (alternative option .. form / to Edinburgh Haymarket) 2 adults, with senior railcards Flexible times, so not advance 'certain time' trains My wife and I like Edinburgh, so will be visiting...

After seeing the recent Northern Rail sale, I looked into possible destinations, from Newcastle. I did manage to book a few trips, a couple with a friend and two more with my granddaughter. I noticed Durham is also served by NR which interested me. Looking on RTT, it seems there are only 3...

My wife and I hope to make a trip to Glasgow and Edinburgh later in the year, from Newcastle. Travelling all the way to Glasgow is hardly any more expensive than it is to Edinburgh only. The same on a return .. see images. However, we want to spend a night in Edinburgh on our way home. The...
