Also not sure whether it's clear on EMT's STP lounge - "APEX not valid after 1600" however a £5 supplement can be paid (An exception is London St Pancras International where after 1600 First Advance ticket holders will have a charge of £5), unless I missed something

As promised Darlo lounge. One thought I've had is, would it be possible to make the pictures link through to larger versions (perhaps host them on flickr?) as they're quite small and you can't really see any detail?

It seems OK from my end. Images I see are "Wi-Fi Free", "APEX Restricted (red dot)", "Under £10 (blue dot)". Anyone else getting the same as premier01?

I'm reading it as the restriction on free APEX entry is it's not allowed after 16:00. As a separate entry I have the Lounge Pass which I haven't put a time restriction on. I will have a re-think on the wording and update it.

Cheers for the photo, I'll get that updated now. That's something that has been suggested before and something I am considering. I am waiting until things have settled with the layouts and wait for more photos before uploading image links. I am planning a direct link from each guide to a mini page with a rough map and various user submitted comments/images but this is all in the dream stage.

Nope, the Wakefield definitely has the blue dot meaning to me that the buy-in is below £10

I understand, just a difference in the way we read it then!

It was my mistake with the Wakefield lounge-must have been looking at the APEX icon!

The St Pancras lounge allows customers to enter the lounge after 16:00 for £5-saw the notice when I was there yesterday-so would be good to show that.

I'll try to remember to take my camera with me the next time I visit Coventry and add that one as well.

And here it is.

I just read that the new Lounge at KGX has artefacts from the NRM in it. Anything interesting?

Is there any possibility you could remove the [img] tags and just leave a url?

Cheers,

Thanks for them I've downloaded the images for now. I'll have a play tomorrow and update the guide.

I didn't notice any artefacts there. I was there a week after the opening and nothing caught my eye. Nevertheless it is a nice lounge with a direct view of platforms.

That's odd. I read it here:

Quote:
Finished in a striking range of lime green and aubergine decor, the lounge took 12 months to create. It features displays showcasing a range of artefacts loaned by the National Railway Museum, while pieces of artwork depicting the station’s heritage, by artist Anne Howeson, adorn the walls.
