    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    I think that 'Never shuts up Liz' prefers to be known as Elizabeth. I get the impression that they have more support on their youtube videos than they do on other 'socials'.

    No trains to call at Altnabreac for the foreseeable future

    Where in the passenger use table does Altnabreac come, surely near to the bottom. How many people would it affect if there was no longer an Altnabreac Railway Station? I know it would never happen but it would save a hell of a lot of money if it was closed permanently.

    Newark Northgate parking

    I made my trip to Scotland last week and I used the NCP car park which is just past the LNER car park. The NCP is £4.95 per day and I think the LNER is about £14. I did have issues with the NCP one as it used to be a scan a QR code but now it is barrier less and I had difficulties booking a 4...

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    I was very disappointed not to have the full LNER brekky on the 0755 Inverness to Kings Cross train on Thursday, it is the Dine menu, and there was a Chef on Board, but apparently they were one or two staff members short, maybe there are vacancies at Inverness.

    Edinburgh Waverley Platform 2 to 5 LNER First class

    Thank you Alex, the walking becomes a problem as one gets old, sometimes I go in LNER Standard class for an easy exit, such as Dundee.

    Edinburgh Waverley Platform 2 to 5 LNER First class

    I will be changing LNER trains at EDB from the Up Highland Chieftain to the 1200 to London Kings Cross. The Chieftain arrives usually on Plaftform 2 and the 1200 to KGX departs Platform 5, am I correct and saying this is a straight forward change and I do not have to go all the way to the...

    Newark Northgate parking

    Do any regular NNG users know if the station NCP car park gets full? In a couple of weeks time we will be arriving around 1130am on a Monday, I have a Blue badge but it is not the end of the world if the disabled spaces are full as long as I can park in the NPC. Alternatively I could use the...

    I think the Newcastle footex was £160 return Standard class and £240 return First class.

    1A79 Class 43 powercar on fire 28/02/25

    Was the power car able to extinguish the fire with it's own system or did the fire service put the fire out? Secondly, once the fire was out could the rear power car not power the train at walking pace into Dundee station to evacuate the passengers?

    Unreserved seating with a reserved seat ticket.

    What happens if someone is travelling from say Aberdeen to Newcastle in a seat that says may be reserved later, the when you are travelling through Fife the seat becomes reserved from Edinburgh to London?

    Closure of Thameslink services Harpenden to London over Festive Period

    I am old enough to remember the White V Bombers landing near to that gap in the early 60's, also they lined a few up alongside the MML.

    Hitachi 807 and 810 different max speeds?

    Thks for all of your replies.

    Hitachi 807 and 810 different max speeds?

    Am I correct in saying that the new Class 807's on the WCML Chester/Holyhead trains are limited to 110mph max on the WCML? Yet the 810's being constructed for the MML will be able to run up to 125mph when the OHLE has been upgraded? If I am correct why the different max speeds?
