Sunday's Sleeper

[Simon11]

Hi

I have a Sleeper ticket on the 23.27 from Euston to Glasgow Central this Sunday.

I've just seen the Sleeper Timetable and this says 21.45 depature? B 16 February to 11 May 2014

Which is correct?

It seems really poor service, to display the incorrect time on the ticket. This has been brought through work, so I'm glad I checked!

There is a 2327 from Euston to Glasgow tomorrow (Sunday) so what is the point you are making?

There isnt a 2145 though!
Are you looking at the boarding time for the sleeper passengers?

on http://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/documents/sleeperguidedec13.pdf , page 16 it says 9.45pm depature, rather than the 11.27pm. I assume it is 9.45pm and the ticket I hold has the wrong time.

What does it say on your ticket?

I believe that's a typo, and should be from 30th March to 11th May, just by looking at Real Train Times

I was going to say that, according to the timetable, between 16th February and 11th May (on Sundays), the sleeper will leave London Euston at 21:45 instead of 23:27, so 455driver must have misread it. However, as Searle is suggesting it is a typo, maybe you should ring Scotrail and ask for confirmation. I doubt they would sell an advance ticket for a train that effectively doesn't exit (well, it's retimed) as the reason for the amended times (at a guess, engineering works requiring a diversion) was known in advance.

Out of interest 455driver, where did you check the times?

I assume it is 9.45pm and the ticket I hold has the wrong time.

Personally, I would trust the ticket (which I'm guessing was printed in the last few days, based on live data in the National Timetable), over a timetable in a brochure that's a few months old.

There isnt a page 16 on that document but if you are referring to page 7 it says cabins available from, not departure from.

He means page 16 of the actual document (page numbers in bottom left), not the pdf file. It does indeed say a 2145 departure from Euston, on Sundays from 16th February to 11th May 2014.

I think you should call up ScotRail for confirmation as well, personally

The sleepers were scheduled to be diverted via the ECML I believe, but for a number of selected weekends in March it is being diverted via Northampton instead so is leaving at the later time.

I have a booking for 23rd March and it also leaves at 2327.

on http://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/documents/sleeperguidedec13.pdf , page 16 it says 9.45pm depature, rather than the 11.27pm. I assume it is 9.45pm and the ticket I hold has the wrong time.

Yep see that now, sorry for questioning you.

The times were probably changed after the leaflet was printed but before you booked your journey.

Thanks I see that now.

I've phoned ScotRail (took a while to find a human ). They say it is 23.27 and that the timetable is displaying the wrong data.

On their engineering table, it also shows 23.27. It seems like they haven't bothered to update their main timetable.
