Back in Serco/Abellio Northern days I had a guard announce our train as being to "the delightful Derbyshire town of New Mills Central" and advised that we'd stop at "Romiley International" on the way. We were then advised to keep an eye on personal belongings such as the kids, wife and...

B35 and B36 indeed have a full window view. As for playing seat plan lottery - watch this space, some of us are working on a solution for that!

If you're feeling brave, it looks like there's... IC38190 0228 Kutno-Toruń Główny 0337 IC5130 0526 Toruń Główny-Iława Glówna 0632 TLK35170 0652 Iława Glówna-Gdynia Glówna 0829 R90507 0836 Gdynia Główna-Hel 1003 Just don't expect much sleep of course. The first three trains will be compulsory...

When I lived in Sheffield up to 2020, First had several seemingly bombproof Renowns. I believe two were R-reg and one was W-reg. Covid service reductions and subsequent cascades basically saw them off. The B7TL Geminis at Go North East (05 and 06 reg) seem to be running quite happily. The...

Seconded that the connections in Köln on the way back are asking for trouble. Apart from the fact that the (Frankfurt) - Köln - Brussels ICE is beyond unreliable. It's also been mentioned on the forum that Germany has been undertaking border checks at Frankfurt an der Oder, delaying trains...

Thread reopened as I'm informed that there has been an update...

So the answer appears to be D57 onwards, which would mean that a whole 14 seats are left unreserved. Extremely poor. That's what I've found on the 1236 Newcastle-Reading... Edit - all of F indeed reserved except 43/44 which are the wheelchair companion seats so they're blocked out of the usual...

Brussels Airport will have some kind of gateline as there's an extra supplement to pay on entry/exit.

The 53 stops a two-minute walk from the station outside of the Mile Castle Wetherspoons: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YcmLqnK7CXRMaYkf6 On Maps it shows as terminating at Grey Street but in reality almost all services will pause for a moment then continue down Grey Street in a continuous loop and...

On nine-car Azuma trains only C03-C42 are left completely unreserved. The rest of that carriage is reservable but is normally done last, so if every light is yellow, it's a safe bet that you'll probably be fine. If there's a smattering of red lights in that section, you could get moved. The...

Down as 'train departing late to maintain customer connections'. Looks like the 1720 St Pancras-Margate was late and missed the connection to the stopper at Ashford - so this could explain the extra call.

Reopened for @AlexNL to provide an update.

Indeed, Eurostar counts as a day of use in your home country so that'll be two days used at once. I've never had staff query things like onward travel same day - just the odd request for ID. As for travelling on a zig-zag route, staff aren't going to care unless you're blatantly taking the...

It looks like that train is due into Birmingham at 2015 and then only has seven minutes before forming the 2022 to Cambridge - so that may explain the keenness to keep it as close to time as possible. Not that that's any consolation to those who missed it at Leicester!

A reminder that this thread is regarding the end of the Paris Metro ticket. For any questions about the Olympics or other Paris transport-related matters, please create a new thread.

That screenshot is the LNER app - which only does a very occasional fudge of split tickets (where an eVoucher is applied for the value of the saving). Basically, it's one of the least likely candidates to try and offer you a better deal! As a regular Newcastle to London traveller, I'll...

Well I'm 6ft (though fairly slight build) and had a good amount of legroom, even when the person in front fully reclined. I wasn't a fan of the headrest (think LNER First but a bit less invasive) as I fell asleep on it funny and woke up with a sore neck. In fact, it's probably the best sleep...

Ironically I'm about to fly Economy Delight on a Virgin Atlantic 787-9 (in about two hours!) back to the UK, so will report back. The upgrade FWIW was £143 - so not totally nuts.

Back in March 2008 there was quite an outcry when Go North East cut Hadrian's Park services to North Shields and the Coast as the new services between Newcastle and Whitley Bay skipped there. Eventually they introduced a service - basically hourly between the peaks (around 9 til 3) on weekdays...

Go North East's 58 had a phase of running between Hadrian Park and Heworth, originally with brand-new Citaros. It then had a daft couple of years with older Citaro Artics during which time the service north/east of Newcastle was halved. The Hadrian Park-Newcastle section was then transferred to...
