    Special Offers Discussion

    Yes, there a feature on the BBC local news this morning about the 150th anniversary - and they mentioned special fares at 150 pence for 150 years.

    Major disruption to / from Manchester Piccadilly - 16th April 2026

    Just noticing this thread is still going, earlier today, I finally had chance to upload to YouTube a couple of videos I took whilst passing the scene last Thursday. The first shows the passenger evacuation taking place, with passengers being routed via a conveniently located staff access gate -...

    Class 91 to hit Cambridge and Lincoln metals for the first time in ____ years?

    The East Coast Class 67 Thunderbird locos visited Hitchin this morning to move the LNER set onto a wired road and are now running back to Newark via Cambridge. The 225 set will hopefully move tonight - back to Neville Hill under its own power, so no diversions off the usual route.

    Departure boards LNER - ‘Place small and medium sized bags overhead or under seats’

    Funnily enough, I first spotted this feature at Leeds on the 31st of January, when I took a photo and sent it to a mate with the comment: "LNER polluting the departure boards at Leeds, wasting as much space as possible. Obviously, with 2 other people in the coach, I'd better make sure I don't...

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    I believe this footbridge is designed for use by horses and their riders.

    Errors on departure boards

    When I arrived at Peterborough station on Friday at around 17:00, my train wasn't shown on the main departure boards, which caused some concern and confusion. I passed there again yesterday evening and discovered why - a train is stuck on one of the screens. I wonder how many days late the...

    SWR outgoing Metro fleet withdrawals (complete)

    Thank you for taking the time to post this info. Having this gen readily available enabled me to head down to London for "one last ride", with a return from Waterloo to both Dorking and Hampton Court. Plenty of enthusiasts were riding and/or photographing them and a nice bonus was seeing the...

    Errors on departure boards

    Another recent oddity at York, but not so visually comical, was on the 3rd of January, when I caught the 09:55 London service. It was running about 10 minutes late, but all of the station departure boards were showing it as expected much later than that. As I had a connection at Doncaster...

    Errors on departure boards

    It looks like 00:28 was winning the vote! At least they wouldn't be short of seats, with 90 coaches in less than 10 minutes ;-)

    Errors on departure boards

    Indeed - and thank you for the extra info. I edited (added to) my reply whilst you were writing yours, as, when I viewed the link, I discovered it was an old photo, rather than being one from today. Regarding my other point about strange behaviour of York's new departure boards, here's the...

    Errors on departure boards

    Out of curiosity, what could that issue with the data be? From what I can see, that train shows Activity Codes A, N and * at Abbeyhill Junction, which should fully supress any advertising of the stop. This is reflected in Realtime Trains, which shows it as an unadvertised pathing stop with no...

    December 2025 East Coast Timetable

    Just for clarity, "TPR 2026 V2 LNE" is the one that applies to the December 2025 Timetable. The 21 minutes turnaround time is unchanged, though.

    York to Manchester is similar, as is Edinburgh to Glasgow. I'd expect there will be plenty of other examples, too, especially around London. I guess one way around it could be to create station groups, which appears to be how planning software gets around it.
