It's the early finish that's the problem for me as I'll have to catch 3 trains to get from Oxford to Coventry! If any of those trains go wrong it's going to be a very late night for my five year old.
The fact they've said "further information on timetables will be shared shortly" gives me a bit...
I am staying near Llangunllo over Easter and planning on using the station multiple times a day. If all goes to plan tomorrow, my son and I will arrive on the 12.29, catch the 14.39 to go shopping in Knighton, arrive back on the 16.22 and then meet my wife off the 19.14.
So by the end of the...
Atherstone is the one definitely. There is a pub that serves food very close by called The Kings Head (next to the canal). It is a very short stroll into the town centre where there are lots of cafes and eateries. The hourly LNW semi-fast arrives and departs there from Stafford and Euston only 5...
I'm travelling between Northampton and the Heart of Wales line on the 28th March. Sods law, I purchased tickets two days ago with a split at Birmingham. I really want to avoid the rail replacement coach as I'll have my five year old with me and last time we caught a coach, he projectile vomited...
Depending on where they were getting off, they may have just thought that moving wasn't worth the bother. Especially if kids had food, games, toys out.
They were probably also conscious that when they told the kids they were moving there'd be the ubiquitous "why?" which may have made the...
That's interesting I never knew that.
In this case however, I think it's more to do with DIRFT chucking a load of money at Stagecoach as their logo had appeared all over the timetable, bus stops, etc...
I probably have encountered you then, or at least my wife, who catches the 96 twice a day, will have.
It's frustrating how long the 96 now takes to get to Rugby. I can accept going round Ryehill as it's important for elderly people, but the detour round DIRFT is getting silly now. Why do...
I live in Long Buckby and the coach from Rugby has always managed to find the village eventually, despite taking drastically different routes! We never know until we're nearly there whether it will pass the end of our road or not.
Last time the driver agreed to drop us off early. It was a bit...
Northampton to Rugby is pretty bad as it takes 57 minutes instead of 22-24 minutes!
I believe the same bus then continues to Coventry - I can't see an express bus on journey planners. If that is the case, Northampton to Coventry journey time is nearly trebled, from 35 minutes to 1hr 33.
It's a disgrace that LNWR aren't running anything between Northampton and Rugby. They could run an hourly shuttle with one unit and crew! Long Buckby commuters and anyone travelling North from Northampton have been completely shafted.
There must be something I'm missing. If it's just the bay...
