That's a fair point -- I was typing that out on an 11-car Avanti service (usual commute), but use XC fairly regularly between Birmingham and Reading and 99% of the time use Seatfrog for that very reason on those oh so cozy four / five car trains.

An interesting logic (and incorrect).

Might have to get a subscription -- I looked yesterday and today in a couple of WHSmith stores and they only had last month's edition still.

Yeah it's not signposted the best, plus at the moment half of Eversholt Street is closed / being dug up for gas works, so it's not the most pleasant either (albeit better than putting up with all the tourists on Euston Road!). Oh, and you always get accosted by the charity workers at the bottom...

What's one of those? :lol:

No problem with either the app or the website here. Now in year two of Club Avanti here and we’ve both just got our second free first class ticket codes sent through. Already used the second SP ones and the first class lounge access. Can’t grumble as it’s a freebie — indeed arguably for a...

This led to the well-documented demise of one of Reading's most popular nightclubs -- The After Dark. Long story short: new flats built nearby > new residents complain about the noise coming from a nightclub that's been there for decades > nightclub has to shut down after council intervention...

Only on the rare occasions they’re signalled on the UM from Moreton Cutting to Tilehurst East (admittedly this did happen on the service I was on earlier, presumably because we were running ~20 mins late and there was a stopper ahead on the UR).

I'd agree with this, yes.

Looks like there are a few more double sets operating Manchester <> Bournemouth today than usual.

Amazing -- nice one. Thanks for sharing!

Appreciate this may be one of the daftest posts on here in a while as the link's broken (and think has been for a while), but this website I have bookmarked from yonks ago had pretty much full recordings of all LU announcements (and many other metro systems across the globe) from around the time...
