Currently stuck on 1D32 which has been stopped south of Grantham for over 3 hours now after 1D31 has apparently struck a deer and come to a halt in Stoke Tunnel, affecting several other services. At least one train in the area has had some passengers self-evacuating against instructions. There...

I have had a search but could not find any news on this. Since September it appears the TPE-only 'North of England Rover' (I447) and 'North of England City Experience' (I524) are no longer in the fares database or mentioned on TPE's website.

There are currently no trains running through Leeds 'due to engineering works not being finished on time'.

The TM of the 13:05 Edinburgh - Plymouth, heavily loaded on approaching Leeds, suggested that passengers continuing to Wakefield or Sheffield alight and use other services. Does anyone know if this is company policy and whether XC still claims the Orcats for journeys ending at Wakefield or...

My wife was due to travel from Wakefield Westgate to London on Saturday on an advance ticket. Now she is trying to change the ticket for free to the following Saturday 2nd July as LNER is supposedly allowing. However just about all the trains say 'sold out' even though advance fares are still...

Clearly it should be possible but I can't work out how to book U-Zone fares with LNER. The destination 'Zone U12* Londn' does not seem to be present, and other similar destinations only result in tickets to the London terminal. If you have a railcard these U-Zone fares are usually the cheapest...

I'm about to start an annual MCard Zones 1-3 and am aware about the official exclusions for travel on LNER/XC/EMT (can't use these TOCs towards York, and have to buy from Wakefield, not Sandal, when using these TOCs heading south). But are all the following OK with an MCard 1-3: Leeds to...

The National Rail Conditions of Travel are clear: Yet on multiple occasions I have been refused the refund for unused tickets at the first time of asking. In fact I can't remember a single occasion where the refund was fulfilled when I first asked the retailer. (including Trainpal, Northern...

Not sure how that's supposed to work...

Hello it's been a while. Had a terrible time on Northern this past week. Now on the 1721 Leeds to Southport which departed Leeds about half an hour late and is currently stuck about 100 yards outside the station with stuck brakes. Thought it could be a SPaD at first but the guard has been on...

Telegraph & Argus report Apparently, there are new engineering safety requirements for building a station on a curve The increased cost means there will need to be a stopping frequency of 3tph for the business case Metro are negotiating with Network and Northern Rail and insist there are no...

I am on the 16.19 Carlisle - Leeds. Sat opposite me at a table is a woman who is travelling on an Anytime Single from Glasgow to Shipley, Route Any Permitted. It has cost her £117. I am quite sure she could have bought a ticket well under half the price (Route via Appleby). I suspect she may...

So there's overhead line problems at Doncaster and a broken down train north of Newcastle. Could be a lovely evening for me! Currently awaiting 18.35 northbound at York. Showing 15 late. 17.51 northbound is 53 minutes late. There's going to be two East Coast trains and one XC heading northbound...

East Coast website says: But I can't actually find how to do it. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I am making a journey on split Advance tickets on Saturday evening from Bradford to Edinburgh. The Advances are Bradford-Alnmouth and Alnmouth-Edinburgh. I have just obtained cycle reservations from York for Leeds-York and York-Edinburgh (very friendly and efficient service from the clerk too)...

As the thread says. Can anyone beat this one I just found? Kilmarnock to Skipton has FIVE routeings: Via Appleby & Dumfries Via Appleby Via Dumfries Via Carlisle Via York and four different Advance ticket routes but those don't count!

Find it here! On until 8.

Just boarded the 10:51 Virgin service from Edinburgh and the Train Manager has put a continuous scrolling announcement on the in-coach displays. WE ARE VERY SORRY BUT NO SEAT RESERVATIONS ARE VALID ON THIS SERVICE TODAY AS THIS IS A 5 CAR VOYAGER SERVICE INSTEAD OF THE 9 CAR PENDALINO (sic)...

Using the return portion of a Croy to Leeds Anytime Return route Via Appleby, I changed trains at Skipton because I wanted to go to Bradford Forster Square. I was the only passenger in my coach. When the TM inspected my ticket, he claimed it was not valid to Bradford and insisted on selling me...

Just bought a Leeds-Croy Anytime Return and the route printed on the ticket is 'Via Appleby' which simply used to be route Appleby. Anyone else noticed any similar changes?
