Hi All I have an ITX fare as part of a Hotel package from Newcastle to London. I know I can't really claim Delay Repay and the rail fare is nominal, but would I be able to upgrade? Seatfrog have some really good instant upgrade fares (around £25) but I can't find anywhere to work out if my...

I am currently supporting a Colleague with a misconduct case against them and reaching out to you fine folk. The Colleague is alleging they travelled on an LNER train from Berwick to Edinburgh at the same time there is an allegation that they didn't carry out their duties (with witnesses) The...

Hi all, bit of a random one, Clearing out the home of a distant relative and have come across an excellent condition London Tube Map (1934 v2) I’ve no idea if it’s worth anything or just worth a recycling bin trip. I’d hate to throw anything out of a transport heritage but if it’s ten a penny...

Hi All Last week I was booked from Stalybridge to Newcastle with TPE. TPE cancelled the 13.50 from SYB to Huddersfield where I was due to make my connection (as one of their night before preplanned cancellations) The options given to me were board the 13:12 (which would require leaving my...

Looks like chaos is in store for Tyneside and Wearside from Sunday as Nexus confirms the impact of the work to rule action will have on its services. it’s colour coded each day green, amber and red. Red looks like essentially a don’t travel warning (akin to its Beast from the East timetable)...

I apologise if this appears crass or insensitive. Lately I’ve been delayed significantly by a medical incident on the metro. My better half is a doc and the amount of times she’s stepped in on her commute home probably qualifies her to a salary...I digress. Nexus don’t really seem to have a...

Well this has been a week so far reminiscent of the DB Regio days! Train failures all over the shop resulting in service suspensions and withdrawals, I’m guessing the heat may be blamed but since Newcastle hasn’t topped 23 yet, I’m guessing that’s a generous reason (along with some NR failures...
