In the last week I’ve experienced the complimentary First Class breakfasts on LNER, Virgin and EMT. At least in my limited experience, EMT had the best product. Food started being served about 10 minutes out of London and the full breakfast after about 15 minutes. You get 2 huge slices of...

On the EMT website under the listing of trains that offer breakfast service in First Class, it shows the 8:31 from St Pancras as having full breakfast service. However in the timetable, it shows it as having light breakfast. Can anyone confirm which it is?

Just wondering if people with First Class BritRail passes are permitted to use the various First Class lounges?

We have a first class rail pass though.

I am in the midst of planning a trip using BritRail 1st Class passes for myself and my 2 kids. I’ve done this numerous times before, but this is my first time with kids. Anyway, I’m planning a day trip from London to Chester Zoo. I was looking at the 7:10 from Euston to Chester (weekday in...

I travelled on the dreaded "scone express" yesterday from York to Kings Cross. I have to say, I was actually quite impressed. They made 2 rounds with the sandwich/cake trolley, 2 rounds of the drink trolley, and at least 4 or 5 with tea/coffee. It seemed every time I had finished consuming...

Would you be entitled to a First Class meal on a Cross Country service from Bristol to Exeter? The service I'm specifically thinking of is the 11:44 departure from Bristol... Thanks.

This is probably a stupid question... But I was wondering with first class breakfast on Virgin and East Coast, are you able to request scrambled eggs instead of fried for the breakfasts? Just wondering if they accommodate requests like that?

I saw that on National Rail... what I was wondering is, is the longer journey times due to just slow running? Or are trains actually diverted? Does it always say on National Rail if a train is to be diverted?

Are there any 379s on Cambridge services on Saturdays?

It shows on National Rail that there is track work affecting East Coast trains on Feb 12 and train times are revised. Ie 9:00 departure from kings cross is leaving 20 mins earlier. Are services diverted? Or just running slow?

Actually I booked a web fare! I didn't see anything about reserved seats. Do they automatically assign you seats? If so, can I email them and request specific ones?

I will be taking the Enterprise for the first time in a few weeks from Belfast to Dublin. I have a few questions... Is the train completely unreserved? If not, are there any unreserved coaches like Coach E on Pendolinos? How early would you get to Belfast Central to get a good seat? (it...

2 friends and I are visiting from Canada in February (I was born in the UK and have visited many times). Anyway.... We are flying into Glasgow, then immediately take the train to Stranraer, bus or taxi to cairnryan then ferry to Belfast. A couple of days later we will be taking Irish Ferries...

Does anyone know what (if any) Birmingham to Euston services are diagrammed for Voyagers?

Thanks! Some friends and I are visiting from Canada with first class BritRail passes... So I guess we should try and take Virgin when possible to maximize our value!

Who is more generous with booze? Virgin or EC? How many drinks are you likely to get on a 2 or 2 1/2 hour trip?

I'm going to be travelling St Pancras to Nottingham in a month's time or so... just wondering if any of those are usually refurbs? I would take the fast HST, but would possibly take the slightly slower Meridian for a chance to try the refurbished ones...

Just wondering, are all of the EMT 222s now refurbished? I read a while back that all the 7-car sets were done, what about the 4 and 5 car sets?

Just wondering if anyone knows whether the 8:03 and 8:33 fasts from Liverpool Street to Cambridge are booked to be worked by 379's? Thanks
