I assume any rebrand would be tied up with a new contract award for XC as there are only a few months left on their current one.

Does anyone know why it refers to a direct award rather than a National Rail Contract, like all other TOCs?

21 units for 2tph corby to london?

It was very much in use yesterday afternoon at London Bridge p4/5.

Surely not 180s. I thought Grand Central would be after those.

Yes I noticed this and wondered what units are these going to be? I can't think of any suitable trains that will be available for May 2020?

Passenger is the old fashioned term. You are paying for the railway service, therefore you are a customer. Whatever will people find to complain about next.

With M&S - when people say they're "popping to Mark's and Sparks" :{

Don't even know where to start with this

I have a question, would increasing the Class 700 top speed to 110mph solve the issue of slowing down the Intercity trains?

I'm surprised there isn't a case for them to be reformed into 4-car and 2-car subfleets??

Anyone know what a 387/1 was doing just south of Wembley Central today? Didn't get the number but saw it as I was heading back from Euston this eve.

Anyone got any insider news about this role? They are advertising again for the pipeline, wonder why ?

Ah. But if they aren't going to be operating the doors, then the role has already changed surely? So there'd be no sense in keeping a certain pay grade if the role doesn't exist in that capacity any more...

Genuine question : How do conductors today think they have a case against the 12 car DOO trains, when there are already operational 12-car 377s on Thameslink services ?

It's not something I'm looking to commit to for the rest of my working life, just looking at the feasibility of it short term. Based on living walking distance from the start point, to a London terminus which is also within walking distance of my place of work. I'm aware of how painful...

On a personal level though, I don't use the underground or buses regularly as I get off at Euston and walk the 15-20 mins to my office, which makes the 8:05 arrival quite good for a 9am start (personally as I prefer not to rock up at 9 on the dot.) and the 18:49 gives enough time if I may happen...

Oops, not the best example then. Based on a regular working day then, if I pay 5 times a week a total of £17.80 (£7.90 + £9.90 fare), in theory that would be a substantial saving if against the Nuneaton-Euston season ticket which is £615.

The example I've checked just now was Mon 2nd May 2016 - one way on the 07:28 VT from Nuneaton to Euston is currently £4.95 with a 16-25 railcard.

Hi guys, this would be based on arriving into Euston at around 8:30. Some good points - have been giving myself some wriggle room in cases of finishing work late. I had been researching Nuneaton to Euston, using a VT departure at 7:28 and arriving 8:27 for example, and returning on the 18:49...
