Probably 11.30 am Edinburgh to Kings Cross, 17th Jan. The information on the page you linked to is very detailed and useful, thanks. I wonder whether it's the same engineering works that the vague warning message refers to or not.

For the journey I actually want to make it's East Coast, but I put "X" because I'd noticed the message appear for many different operators that I tried out of curiosity. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I guess I'll go ahead and book then. Just didn't fancy a long rail...

I want to book a ticket for the 17th or 18th of January 2015, but National Rail Enquiries shows a yellow triangle with the text: where X is the operator. As far as I can tell this applies to any operator in any part of Britain. For example, Cardiff to Bangor and Kyle of Lochalsh to Garve both...

Ah yes, 11:49 - Carlisle 13:20 - Warrington Bank Quay my mistake when copying it over, the booking confirmation from Arriva Trains Wales did include it :)

Thanks for the advice, I'll see how I feel if the situation arises.

I'm going to attempt a rather long Sailrail journey, as follows: 06:50 - Inverness 09:57 - Haymarket (Edinburgh) 10:12 - Haymarket (Edinburgh) 11:32 - Carlisle 13:26 - Warrington Bank Quay 13:53 - Chester 14:23 - Chester 16:15 - Holyhead 17:15 - Holyhead 19:15 - Dublin Port (Irish Ferries)...

The 0650 Scotrail Inverness to Edinburgh did run and apparently some Inverness-based East Cost staff travelled on it.

Thanks for that, I'll assume it's very unlikely to run.

There's no mention on the East Coast or JourneyCheck sites of whether the 07:55 Inverness to Kings Cross train will run tomorrow morning (as far as I can see). Does anyone have any idea whether this will run, or when they will start putting out information for tomorrow (Friday the 6th)? Thanks

What about simply having Scotrail operate Voyagers between Inverness/Aberdeen and Edinburgh, as suggested in this article in the Scotsman last month? ‘Bring tilting trains to Aberdeen, Inverness’ call

I've successfully used the combination of Advance and rewards single on Highland Chieftain for precisely the same reason. I even reserved the same seat using their website. I didn't specifically tell the guard about combination I was using: I simply showed the Inverness to Pitlochry advance at...

I looked reasonably carefully at the station and its signs when I was there. The station plan on National Rail shows one "barrow crossing" at the southbound end of the platforms. In reality, there are two barrow crossings, one at each end of the platforms. They both have two signs. The signs...

I've just discovered using Google Maps that there was a way to get from the public road to Platform 1: walking on an unpaved, un-signposted road through a forest... for 4.3 miles! Surely passengers aren't expected to do that. The line's not electrified. The only trains I've been on there are...

Someone I know recently needed to catch a Northbound train from platform 1 of Barrhill station. The only way to that side is via crossings signposted with two signs: "stop look and listen (etc)" and "passengers must not cross the line (etc)". After puzzling for a few minutes about whether they...

More detail in this STV article: Rail fares to be reduced by up to 41% as pricing gaps are tackled

defitze, As you say, it would be nice if they would cater for people who still want to go via Stranraer, but it seems likely that the reason for the official rail&sail coach going from Ayr to Cairnryan is that they can achieve a faster time that way. It would certainly be a shame for cyclists...

That would be great if true. I don't know how you would find this out: if you try to use the routeing guide, you find that Belfast isn't even in the routeing point identifier document.

Thanks. The only problem with that itinerary, I'd have to get the 08:37 AYR-STR train, arriving at 09:58. Last checkin for the 11:30 ferry is meant to be 11:00, which leaves me 1:02 to cycle the 7 miles. I actually think it should only take me 35 minutes to cycle that, but I'd rather allow more...

I was looking to go from Edinburgh to Belfast with a bicycle, going out and returning on weekdays in May. You can't take bikes on the Ayr to Cairnryan coach that connects with the ferry. The plan was: leaving Edinburgh at 07:57, and changing at Glasgow Central for the 09:38 train to...

Ah I see, thanks. So to be scrupulously honest I could get a single (route not underground) from Blackfriars to St Pancras for £1.70 with Network railcard on the Saturday, or use Oyster PAYG for £2.10 on the underground.
