Morning, I found myself stung with purchasing an additional ticket this morning and I'm not sure if I should have been. I am travelling on an Advance ticket from Ely to Leeds valid on East Coast + Connections. The itinerary gives a tight connection at Peterborough (1 min above minimum...

I have been visiting Crewe a lot recently for work, and the canopy there is supported from columns located in the 6-foots between the platform lines and the fast lines on both Platforms 5 and 6. I know that this was a feature of some LNWR stations, but I am struggling to think of any other...
