08:32 from Crewe to Manchester was late off the depot assuming a fault with the train. Train was loaded for the return at Piccadilly to Swansea but looking at RTT seems to have been cancelled and is moving ECS back to Crewe.

Im on this set now. It’s 197103. Station departure boards showing as 8 coaches.

Is anyone waiting to find out if they passed the MMI from Cardiff from last weeks dates? They said they’d be in contact by the end of this week. Obviously just being impatient, the waiting to find out is worse than the actual interview!

For the people having medicals recently and course start dates for Crewe, may I ask when you were interviewed and got into (if you got) into talent pools? Currently in a talent pool from an interview in September last year, so wondering how many people ahead of me there might be in the talent...

This is the part that confused me as to if the GatEx would actually be valid - The cost of the advance single from Crewe To Gatwick is only £18.50 - Which when looking at the GatEx price of £17.80 one way, makes the Virgin part only 80p Bargin!

Thanks all We get into London just after 8AM on a Saturday morning so I'm guessing things will be relatively quiet still. We're heading back into Gatwick late on a Saturday evening so I think City Thameslink will already be closed I have a PAYG Oyster that I'll be using for the tube while in...

Thanks all for this! The option of St Pancras on Thameslink looks the best! Another question - We're heading into London for the day, after dumping bags at the airport hotel, I was looking at a Thameslink ticket return into London and saw no merit of buying these in advance We'll be heading...

Hi I have a question about some advance tickets from Crewe to Gatwick Airport Is there a way to tell if the tickets are valid on Gatwick Express? The routing on the ticket shows VTWC & Connections - With the validity as Bookdtrainonly It's an advance ticket with seat reservations on the...

Hi, Wondering if any one can help with a question about Enterprise NI tickets. Going to be travelling from Sydenham station at Belfast City Airport and connecting onto an Enterprise service at Belfast Central down to Newry, staying in Northern Ireland Does anyone know if you can purchase...

Sorry for the bad picture - taken from my iPhone! There's quite a long stretch of platform behind the signal for the 350s!

Alsager was my local station :) The LM 4 Car 350s do fit in the platform in front of the signal, just. Unsure as to why it is signalled this way though Could do with a sign on the platforms advising people to move down though!

There's not usually freight on this line. From Crewe there are hourly LM 350s from Crewe to Euston running via Stoke. Also the hourly East Midlands Crewe - Derby which is usually a 153, but can be 158 as well. Also from Kidsgrove to Stoke there is the hourly Northern rail 323, and twice...

I remember it being in the hotline magazine the issue before wifi started to appear. It said that they were turned off as the equipment space was needed for wifi

A friend of mine is saying that the 14:55 Virgin service today was only five carriages and had no first class on it. Anybody on this train or can help? I've never heard of Virgin doing this before! Thanks!
