Hello All, Any idea how much an upgrade would cost from Euston to Glasgow Central? Also do you get a discount for holding a Railacrd. TIA

I have just looked at RTT to see how many special trains were going to Cheltenham Spa today and noticed that many trains in the Gloucster/Cheltenham are were being delayed by around an hour from mid morning, any members know the reason? TIA

These two counties seem to get the worst of the British weather, is there a case for allocating more funds to these two areas to improve the infastructure so that it is able to stand up more rigorously to the high winds, landslips, high tides etc. Nowadays the slightest bit of bad weather seems...

I have been to Inverness and other places this week, and my limited brain power got working. Now that Avanti have the 805/807 Everos, could there be a business case to bring back The Clansman, a long gone Euston to Inverness day service, serving Coventry, Wolverhampton, Crewe, Preston...

I have an Avanti WC Standard Premium complimentary Club ticket I intend to use shortly, I want to make the most of it so it will probably be Euston to Glasgow Central. Is it possible to buy an on train upgrade to First Class, if so what will the ball park figure cost of the fare be with a Senior...

Many months ago National Rail announced they were giving Leicester Station £17,500,000 to build a new main station entrance under the banner of "Leicester Station Gateway Project", since then the Parcel yard pub and a Taxi office have been demolished with the area boarded off. The project...

This week I have used Avanti West Coast for Stafford-Glasgow Central and Glasgow Central to Preston in Standard class, although I used to travel First class I now find Standard to be excellent, with Coach D having increased leg room for lack of mobility, a large toilet and also next to the Cafe...

Do any members know if the complimentary service in First Class starts at Blackpool North or does it commence at Preston? By the way, I am not thinking of buying a ticket from BPN to PRE. :)

Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/9m50-9-car-pendolino-low-speed-buffer-collision-at-london-euston-05-07-2025.288912/ It must be very monotonous going up and down the WCML with a 390 every day. Back in the day drivers would be in 'Links' which covered different...

I will be changing LNER trains at EDB from the Up Highland Chieftain to the 1200 to London Kings Cross. The Chieftain arrives usually on Plaftform 2 and the 1200 to KGX departs Platform 5, am I correct and saying this is a straight forward change and I do not have to go all the way to the...

Do any regular NNG users know if the station NCP car park gets full? In a couple of weeks time we will be arriving around 1130am on a Monday, I have a Blue badge but it is not the end of the world if the disabled spaces are full as long as I can park in the NPC. Alternatively I could use the...

Am I correct in saying that the new Class 807's on the WCML Chester/Holyhead trains are limited to 110mph max on the WCML? Yet the 810's being constructed for the MML will be able to run up to 125mph when the OHLE has been upgraded? If I am correct why the different max speeds?

When the Aurora's are running on the MML and electrification is to Wigston South jct will EMR be able to have a 60 minute non stop service from St Pancras to Leicester in the down direction, or will other slower traffic further south mean this cannot be undertaken.?

The local paper web site are saying that due to an incident trains were not running between Loughborough and Market Harborough this afternoon. Cross Country stated "Trespassers" as being the problem, but where does Loughborough come into it if the incident was in the Wigston are?

I have never travelled this route before, do members know if you get any complementary food and drink in First on this service? TIA

My wife and her friends are going from Leicester to Newcastle on Thursday 3rd Oct and returning the next day, Friday 4th Oct. Departing around 11 am and returning around 12 noon. I am trying to make it as simple and cheap as possible, I think there are 2 maybe 3 with Railcards. The first way is...

There used to be a lot of china clay trains in Cornwall back in the day. In recent years this has turned into very few. Was the prime reason less demand for the clay in the Potteries or did the supplies of the clay around the greater St Austell area run out?

A friend went to Barrow in Furness yesterday to watch a football match for the first time in 55 years at Barrow. We know about the delays. He travelled from Crewe and booked his tickets with EMR, who does he claim delay repay from, EMR or Northern? TIA

On Tuesday 19th March I had a LNER Standard Advance single from Newark Northgate to Leuchars with a Darlington change. My ticket stipulated 1S10 0930 from Kings Cross which left NNG on time at 1046 and arriving DAR on time at1205. The second train was 1W11 1200 KGX to ABD, this train left DAR on...

Many of you will have seen the Freightliner Intermodal guards unit outside the NRM at York. Were these ever used on trains in the 1960's? I was a freight guard in 1970 and my container train trips were in the rear cab of the loco. I wouldn't fancy being in one of those units at the rear of a...
