    East Coast delay repay email

    Just received an unusual email from East Coast in response to a Delay Repay claim for Sunday – asking for bank details, in order to pay claims in cash! Either this is a pretty impressive scam attempt, or a pretty badly-executed genuine email. I notice a few other people have also received...

    Stratford International to St Pancras

    Hi Folks, I'll be moving out close to Stratford International pretty soon, and given I work right next to St Pancras it looks like the easiest way to the office will be via HS1. What's the most cost-effective option for this commute? The straightforward monthly season is £118.70, which...

    ScotRail wifi to be rolled out

    Compensation for early running?

    I was rather surprised this evening when I arrived on the platform at (Glasgow) Charing Cross to find the 19:39 to Springburn pulling away about two minutes early, leaving me to miss the 20:00 GLQ-EDB. Checked the iPhone app to make sure it wasn't my eyes, and it confirmed an early departure...

    1st catering this weekend?

    Hello folks, I've got two 1st advance tickets on Virgin this weekend - GLC-EUS on Friday and EUS-EDB on Monday. Does anybody know what the catering situation is going to be? I think both days are bank holidays in England, but only Friday in Scotland. So I assume it'll be snacks-only, but...
