    Class 222 from EMR to Polmadie

    Just went on to try and make a seat reservation for a journey later in the year. Looks like the ability has now gone to do so independentlyfrom purchasing a ticket. Now need to call or email. This was a handy tool to use when using my staff travel card.

    Avanti first class catering changes

    This is not true of weekends. There are no sausage sandwiches served at weekends. The bacon rolls are also pre made and heated up then served.

    Chiltern MK5s Starting 2026 (non speculative updates thread)

    The door on the end coach attached to the loco where the galley is, is in the same colour as the rest. Does that mean passengers will be able to board and walk through the galley seeing as it won't be in use?
