    Lumo - new Open Access operator on the East Coast Main Line

    Thanks Also... Just as a bit of an aside... but a customer service line which operates 9-5 Mon-Fri is a bit poor these days isn't it? I get they are just starting out, but in the build up to launch, surely you'd want everything, and everyone to be okay, and have extended it? We tried the number...

    Lumo - new Open Access operator on the East Coast Main Line

    Thanks for all the replies here, it seems like tomorrow morning is going to be interesting. Thanks for the heads up about coach E... When you see the footage tomorrow of "new operator in overcrowding fiasco" and see a man running from the gateline to coach E... You'll all be able to spot me...

    Annual 10 most overcrowded list

    I regularly catch the 0802 service from Beckenham Junction to Farringdon which makes the autumn list and I expect it to also make any other list that comes out as there is no sign of this reducing. I find it even stranger that come the 2018 timetable this train will only run as far as...

    Class 387

    We got used to 387's coming to Beckenham Junction when the 0802 used to be one every single day during 2015. Whilst the 377's are older, It seems people prefer these. Are there any plans for the 700's to serve the Beckenham Junction line, and could these be terminated in the bay platform there?
