Holiday Inns / Crowne Plazas often have twin rooms available to book on the IHG app.

Was suprised to see a 315 still out tonight at 10.10pm at Romford heading towards Shenfield .... I thought they were retired now! Sorry for the poor picture, my train arrived to block the view!

I always understood that tfl got all the revenue from their stations but chiltern get to use the tracks for free .... not sure if thats still correct

I cant see any line closing, the protests would be large from the affected areas! Maybe terminate the Met at Rickmansworth and longer chiltern trains, terminate piccadilly at Rayners Lane, h&c at whitechapel. Richmond branch of the district could maybe go. Hainault to woodford back to rush hours...

Is that something to do with the bend in the platform rather than the length ? As a former Ricky resident it is annoying that some trains stop at Chorleywood which is a much smaller place and not Ricky!

London Bridge - London Victoria is still missing too.

I am suprised they are not just diverting that train via peckham rye to save on the reversal!

Maybe liverpool street - shenfield, always busy, often jam packed!

Maybe something like Rochdale -Manchester Victoria - hartford - winsford - nuneaton - euston could work ?

Overground stations offer ticket on departure but underground do not.

I guess the Inverness and Aberdeen trains go that way so they don't have to reverse.

Thanks for your replies, hoping it will not be too busy!

Hi, I have been told they don't do seat reservations on London - Norwich trains any more, can anyone confirm that ? Presumably this came in with the new stock ?

You could try booking to Nuneaton on London Midland (maybe splitting at crewe) and get the local train from there

The quickest trains from Edinburgh - London on those weekends are the avanti ones to Euston. Can change at Crewe for a journey time of just over 5 hours.

Looking at the map I guess a lot of people on the south side of Harlow do drive to Epping as they are a long way from Harlow Town. Its not a completely stupid idea to extend the central line to South Harlow, the hospital and Harlow Town. Can't see it happening in the current financial climate!

Looked at the map, indeed the Ebbw Vale line almost gets to Newport before heading to Cardiff. I guess there should be a Newport train as well (the track seems to be there) for better connections to the rest of the country without doubling back.

Bromley North and Emerson Park come to mind ....

Actually on Sundays a lot of trains still turn back here .... True for the rest of the week though.

With public finances as they are, I would take London - Crewe in 60 minutes, existing tracks to make Manchester / Liverpool in 90 for now. See how the economy and travel recovers in a few years.
