Almost exactly the condescending nonsense I was told by a Northern employee at BPN last month. The station was full of myself and my wife (late 50s) and even older travellers going to Blackpool to revive memories of Bank Holiday c. 1965. Elderly and inform people with walking aids and luggage...

Not surprised. Used BPN twice in the last month and found it an organisational shambles. And staff mostly charmless patronising jobsworths

Anyone know when will be the first passenger carrying electric service via Shotts?

Have the diagrams for the HSTs from next Monday been confirmed yet?

So when will be the first actual passenger carrying service via Shotts?

Is there anywhere I can get info on which services between Carlisle and Barrow are loco hauled?

Saw an article about vandalism on a train stabled at Mallaig. Says the affected set will be out of use for some time. Does this mean there will be capacity problems on the line for a while? I'm planning on being on the 16:05 Mallaig to Queen St this Friday. It's usually a 4 coach train and...

Going from Edinburgh to Queen Street tomorrow about 12.00 or 13.00 and hope to try out one of the new trains. What time would I be most likely to get one?

Anyone know when Consort House and the Millennium Hotel extension are being demolished?

Holytown station is actually in New Stevenson

Does Euston have free WiFi and does it extend to the platform areas? in other words, if I'm in a train that doesn't have WiFi, can I get a signal from the station WiFi?

. Is there any place to charge mobile phones , tablets etc?

Au contraire. It's a pity it didn't happen tomorrow. It would have been good for the world to see what we have to put up with regularly when things go wrong with Scotrail. Maybe if this had happened with the eyes of the world right on us something would have been done to give our national rail...

What’s the best way to go about this? On the way back, I want to get the one that leaves Brussels about 20:00 and then get the sleeper. But when I search Eurostar it doesn’t give me that option. I could book Glasgow-London and London-Brussels separately, but I want to have protection if I...

"So any old Tom, Dick or Harry can walk onto the platform and get on a train? What a good idea that sounds.....not!" "Do we really want all and sundry wandering onto platforms and trains?" "if the Chavs were able to wander onto the system whenever they felt like it" Three comments I...

I wonder what the update of SR's BBs are now that Megabus has started the Glasgow - London overnight sleeper bus. Last time I went to London, there were no BBs, and the cheapest sleeper I could get was £65 each way. I got the Megabus for £65 there and back.

I was recently in Berlin, capital of a major nation of c. 90M people, and major tourist/business/cultural centre I travelled by a variety of bus, tram, underground, local train and regional trains. I found to my astonishment: - Loads of ticket machines and ticket offices, even in relatively...

"Waverley is a total black hole, depressing, confusing, congested." Totally correct, and that was before the building work started. It is quite the most horrible, stressful and impractical station I think I have ever visited. I use it regularly, and it gets me down. Hopefully, things...

I see the above ticket is available in peak and off-peak versions. The off- peak is not valid before 10 a.m. on Monday to Friday except bank holidays. My question is regarding back holidays. I want to use it on Monday, 27th August. I think that is a bank holiday in England? Can anyone...
