    Nottingham to Newark Castle on East Midlands Trains website: £6.20 Standard Day Single, £6.40 Off Peak Day Return. £7.20 Anytime day return. Why is it cheaper from Beeston to Newark Castle for an off Peak Return? - and I've just double checked that price on the National Rail website...

    Derbyshire Wayfarer - High Peak Pull Out! (update: now back in)

    Apologies if this has been mentioned before but I haven't seen it. Derbyshire County Councils Website: Presumably that is their 'commercial' network and they are withdrawing it from the scheme. The loss of the Transpeak will make a dent in the tickets network coverage. Also High Peak don't...

    EMT train overtakes East Coast Electric

    Todays 1657 from Norwich to Manchester Piccadilly was routed out of Peterborough on the Fast Line to Grantham which is most unusual. Even more surprising was that we overtook an East Coast Electric, Leeds Bound train which was on the slow line! Never known this happen before, though we were...

    National Rail Vouchers

    I have recieved some National Rail Vouchers for a 2 hour delay. Am I right in thinking that I can't use them a) online b) at a self service ticket machine and that I can only use them: a) at a ticket office b) from a conductor on train? Thanks Mitch

    East Midlands Round Robin

    I have just been advised that this ticket is withdrawn from next month. I have only ever bought one twice, both times on EMT - and the guards seemed unaware of it & found it dificult to find on the ticket machine. The lack of sales presumably led to its withdrawl - but could this be due to...
