    Accommodation suggestions and reviews

    At the end of June this year, I tried to book something in Inverness but gave up due to the prices. Ended up booking a Travelodge in Aberdeen for less than half the price. The location wasn't a problem as I was using an ALR ticket.

    Kings Cross Platform Rules

    In my experience, if you book assistance at Euston, you will be transported to your coach around ten minutes before anyone else boards.

    No Sunday service between Lostock Junction and Crows Nest Junction?

    Always been known as "Crows" by us in Notlob. :(

    No Sunday service between Lostock Junction and Crows Nest Junction?

    Thank you, as I couldn't think of any engineering reason, my next thought was staff shortage.

    No Sunday service between Lostock Junction and Crows Nest Junction?

    Does anyone know why there isn't a Sunday service between Lostock Junction and Crows Nest Junction (Bolton to Wigan) before Christmas 2026? Services are operating from Wigan Wallgate to Salford Crescent.

    Third platform at Salford Crescent: project updates

    Of course, I could be wrong, but my info comes from checking on RTT as far as it has info available. I do travel through Salford Crescent, and it does look to be very much in the final " getting ready" stages and I expect it would normally be a timetable change type of introduction before we see...

    Nothing is shown to be stopping on P3 before 2027.

    Avanti reservations

    Wow! I'd never heard of Tiger before; isn't it, well, wonderful! BTW, I normally get a lift on the Disability Buggies if I arrive early enough, which gets me on well in advance of anyone else. There are advantages to being old and knackered sometimes. :) 1780513359 Thanks for the help. I shall...

    Avanti reservations

    No, I've been checking the northbound trains around 1830. Strange that RTT shows the symbol.

    Formula 1

    I was marshalling at Brands Hatch "Druids" some years ago at a F3000 race. Chatting to a cameraman, he said he was filming for an Italian service and was told he could not get the "KODAK Bridge" in shot. Very difficult when the cars came up from "Paddock" under it.

    Avanti reservations

    I will shortly be using a 1st-class ALR. On checking a few Avanti services to and from Euston, I'm getting a " Compulsory reservations" note on all trains I have checked. Can I not turn up and go, as my journeys will be very flexible?

    Formula 1

    I thought it was the best race since Silverstone 1987. Remember when fewer than 10 cars finished races regularly?

    RealTimeTrains website

    When a train is made up of more than one unit on RTT, is the direction of travel from the origin towards the right or left, or even random? I did look for a help page on RTT but couldn't see one. Typical page shown below.

    Stations with GOOD real ale bars?

    I do agree that it has excellent beers, including some guest offerings. Pricing, I thought, was similar to other on-station pubs. I will be making my second visit next week.

    All line rover bookings

    The young lady (Northern Guard) who sold me the ticket folded my ticket and put it into a plastic folder, just showing the Aztec code, saying it should not need to be removed. It was removed a few times to be read, and a GWR Guard even scribbled across it in ink, why?

    All line rover bookings

    A couple of years ago, I bought a 14-day ALR 1st class ticket from a Northern Guard just so they could have the 5% commision. Sadly, the thermal printed ticket lost its ink after about 4 or 5 days. Thankfully, I had made a scanned copy on photo paper, which was accepted everywhere. When I bought...

    Can an ALR be easily bought as a mobile ticket?

    As subject. I would like to have an ALR on my mobile device and print out a backup. Ken Ward, Bolton.
