The only change I suggested to the Thameslink and Great Northern services on the East Coast Mainline is that no more than one of the two Great Northern London Kings Cross to Cambridge stopping trains (some of which terminate at Letchworth) each hour (Monday to Saturday) should stop at Welwyn...

Would they oppose building dedicated parking for Welwyn Garden City Station and a bus service between Welwyn North Station and Welwyn Garden City Station? If passengers who drive to Welwyn North Station were provided with dedicated parking at Welwyn Garden City Station instead would they not use...

These are issues that can be fixed if there is the political will to do so. Dedicated parking could be built near Welwyn Garden City Station and a bus service could be run between Welwyn North Station and Welwyn Garden City Station to enable users of Welwyn North Station to use Welwyn Garden...

This could surely be eased a bit by reducing the service at Welwyn North from two trains an hour to one train an hour or fewer. There is a much better service at Welwyn Garden City.

You mean the December 2024 timetable change on the East Coast Mainline has been cancelled? Is there going to be an official announcement? In view of the statement in the budget and all the discussions at Transport for the North meetings surely there should be an official announcement that the...

I agree that Govia Thameslink Railway should remove First Class from all their services as Southeastern and London North Western have already done.

Southampton City Council made clear that this proposed tunnel is not in their Local Transport Plan or Local Plan.

The whole point of the hourly all stops service between Portsmouth and Southsea and Southampton Central is to provide a service to all the stations served both to Portsmouth and to Southampton and to provide a direct train service between Portsmouth and Southampton. As the capacity issue...

Until now Woolston and Sholing have had the same service of one SWR all stops train an hour seven days a week. This will change in June as Woolston will then have three trains an hour with the half hourly Southern Southampton to Brighton service calling at Woolston Monday to Saturday. This will...

This June 2024 West Coastway timetable change has highlighted again the issue of eight stations between Fareham and Southampton Central so all services between Fareham and Southampton Central have to be timetabled around the hourly all stops SWR Portsmouth and Southsea to Southampton Central...

It is declassified on standard class only routes. See 1711916521 The fastest service from Cosham and Fareham to Southampton Central is the GWR Portsmouth Harbour to Cardiff Central service which runs nonstop Fareham to Southampton Central and is standard class only. Why would anyone want to...

Has a December 2024 timetable now been agreed?
