    350123 - Is it active and if so where?

    Anyone seen 350123 lately. It hasn't been shown as active on RTT for quite a while now. Only asking because it's my last one for haulage. Thanks if anyone can reply to my question.

    Avanti London services from Liverpool Lime St

    I have noticed since the introduction of class 807s on the Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston services regardless of unit class used,shows all services showing 'Reservations compulsary' on RTT. Does this mean you cannot just turn up on the day and buy a ticket to use on those services?

    Royal Train movements

    Does any Royal Train movements show up on RTT ? I suspect due to the high security in question,it probably doesn't? The Train came to Cardiff this morning but couldn't find it? I know when it used to arrive the station was evacuated. Not sure if that still happens now though.
