    EMR & Corby tunnel flooding disruption - 24 Nov 2024

    It appears Sheffield & Nottingham > London Intercity services are suspended for the rest of the day due to flooding south of Leicester & also north of Corby.

    ECML disruption (08/07) inc. points failure at Doncaster & failed train near Huntingdon

    It would “suggest” there is BiDi on the DF from Connington to Huntingdon Nth junctions (see attached) so was just surprised northbound weren‘t put on the DS from Huntingdon to Holme junction and southbound were diverted onto the DF & switched back at Huntingdon North? Obvs a good reason

    Christmas & New Year 1st class tickets & catering - LNER and Avanti West Coast services

    Thanks to you all for your feedback and input on my question. As much as it displeases me that a full 1st catering isn't in operation as this is offered on a complementary basis & subject to availability (regardless of what many other people may perceive otherwise) I really can't argue that...

    Christmas & New Year 1st class tickets & catering - LNER and Avanti West Coast services

    For at least the last five years I have experienced continual problems each year in regards when the Train Operating Companies (TOC's) release their tickets which covers the Christmas & New Year periods and not announcing at the same time what kind of catering service they are running in 1st...
