Hi all, I've just randomly noticed on Trust that Voyager 220001 appears to have an anomaly in it's formation at the moment: 60301 60727 60201 60401 What's happened with 60701 vehicle? Am I right to assume 60727 is from 22027- is 027 also out of service or is this also using vehicles from...

Hi all, Whilst looking on Journey Planner for a Cross Country journey, I noticed a new ticket type which I've not come across before- XCW- "Weekday First Class upgrade." e.g. Aberdeen to Plymouth= £60 Manchester to Bournemouth= £40. Does anyone know if there are any time restrictions...

Hi all, I've just noticed that I'm struggling to find Lumo Only fares for tomorrow's 06:41 Preston to London Euston/16:36 return from London Euston to Preston on the LNER website. (Yes I'm sure I could on Lumo's on website/other websites etc.) They're correctly being offered on The Trainline...

Apparently today's (16/06/26) 2B28 1258 Inverurie to Montrose (158708) has reported a small fire onboard upon this train's arrival of Montrose, which has since been extinguished. I've no info regarding any damage caused to the train or if any injuries have occurred. Trains seem to be running...

Hi all, I thought I'd start a new thread on here so we could discuss the prices of Lumo's fares which have appeared on Ticket booking systems recently. e.g. Preston to London Lumo Only Off Peak Single- £70 (not valid arriving at London after 10:00) Lumo...

Hello, I thought I'd create a new thread now that the Penrith Viaduct thread has been brought to a close. Please add any known information about planned diversions of Avanti trains over the Settle and Carlisle route here. I see diversions have been planned for 4/5/10/11/12-19th April...

Hi all, Apologies if already discussed on here, I couldn't find an answer.. With Chiltern now using some of the old TPE MK5 rolling stock, their website states that you can upgrade to First Class, but it doesn't state how much upgrades are. I was thinking about possibly going on one from...

Are there many differences between the two jobs of Train Manager and Senior Conductor at Cross Country, other than TMs work on 220/221s and SCs work on 170s? (Are there ever times TMs work on 170s/SCs work on 220/221s?) Are there any differences in salary and/or contractual terms and...

Hi all, Please can anyone confirm which Pendolino services don't offer Standard Premium? I only recently became aware that it appears Avanti prioritise a small number of their services on Fridays for First Class pax, given the increase in demand for First Class on Fridays. I can't seem to find...

Hi all, Last night I had a notification/ping alert from my Seatfrog app claiming to offer 75% off on the cost of any First Class upgrades- probably too good to me true- Having loaded the app I can't see any trace of this at all. Has anyone any experience of claiming this offer? I suspect it's...

Hi all, Please could you confirm whether a Burnley Manchester Road to London Terminals £116.50 Off Peak Return (route Any Permitted) is permitted to be used to travel via Doncaster? I thought that it wasn't valid but Journey Planner systems are offering it on journeys via Leeds/Doncaster to...

Hi all, Does Cross Country contact you either way regarding job applications with them? I applied for a Train Manager and a Revenue Protection job with them in August, no updates and the Careers website just says pending on both applications Thanks!

Hi all, Please could anyone tell me when the next booked passenger work for Cross Country Voyagers being diverted via Bath/ Westbury is? Thank you.

Hi all, Does anyone have experience of using Seatfrog? I do hold a Priv, but I'm planning on possibly buying a 7 day Standard all line rover and occasionally using Seatfrog to upgrade to First Class. Cross Country have confirmed this is fine- are there any companies who forbid either the...

Hi all, I'm just curious whether anyone has recent experience of the catering offered to First Class passengers on Cross Country? I notice a new menu has been uploaded to their website, after several months of it claiming a "new, best ever" menu would be "coming soon." Notably the only hot...

Good evening all, I have sympathy for anyone affected by the severe delays north of Carlisle this evening. I think 1S83 18:10 Manchester Airport to Edinburgh (397005) failed in the Beattock area (at approximately 21:00 according to Real Time Trains). It was arranged for Avanti 9S93 16:15...

Hi all, I've recently purchased the new Hope Valley extension to the Midland Mainline Sheffield to Derby Train Simulator route from the Just Trains website. Whilst the Stations/Tracks load correctly, the sky doesn't show at all- it is completely missing and is completely black. Also many...

Hi all, I recently had a quick look on Avanti's website for ticket prices Wigan North Western to Preston for tomorrow (was looking to see if their seat picker will work- not actually wanting to buy a ticket). For some reason it isn't showing any of Northern's £3.30 Advance single fares- which...

Hi all- Something which has unexpectedly caught me out recently is that my UK Driving License expired in mid June this year. I've received no reminders from the DVLA about it at all and only discovered this when I recently tried to obtain quotes to renew my soon to expire driving insurance...

Hi all, I was looking for help please in regards to finding out which TOCs offer a flat fee First Class upgrade on weekdays? Looking at "The Manual" (I've no idea how accurate/up to date it is) apparently ScotRail offer a range of First Class upgrades both on Weekends and Weekdays. I also...
