    June 2024 Timetable Change

    Can’t help you with the actual start date but when I moved down that way in 2007 the Prestonpans starter ran then and was at 0808

    TPE Plan for the future

    This is possibly a silly question but why even bother pushing it through? two rounds of here’s what you could have had.

    How could Lumo expand/develop/improve?

    Probably doable at the moment as the shuttle is still half hourly. If it were to go back to every fifteen minutes though it would be more of a problem

    June 2024 Timetable Change

    Yeah there have been a few short forms in recent weeks that have made the local newspaper with instances of people being left at Prestonpans so not a hope of get on or off at Wallyford and Musselburgh. Complaints about the 0753 off North Berwick are common but they have intensified over...

    June 2024 Timetable Change

    Pretty sure this service ran pre-covid. There was definitely a Prestonpans starter back then due to the chronic overcrowding on the North Berwick service that was usually at the back of it. The Blindwells development has increased usage but there has been overcrowding issues forever there...

    Avanti WC down the pan again

    Just had the email of doom telling me my train is cancelled tomorrow. It's running as far as Preston but a quick glance at the website shows two of the three Southbound departures tomorrow between 0900 and 1030have been canned. I think I'll just wait in Edinburgh and get the next one as...

    Avanti WC down the pan again

    Wednesday and Thursday were the only days last week that the 0652 managed to do the full journey. It either started or terminated at Preston Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I'm on it on Thursday and can't say I'm looking forward to it at the moment.

    No both codes are separate and one doesn’t need to be used before the other. I used my 1st one before the SP

    How long after your 21st journey do you have to wait for the free first class code?

    Avanti West Coast cancellations

    The problem with dropping Edinburgh is Transpennine are also cancelling several services most days and I’d imagine that’s why it’s not been canned. One bad service is covering for another bad service.

    Club Avanti to launch

    Daft question but does the clock start when you enrol in gathering your eight journeys Or are previous journeys so far this year included? im probably missing something but the details on things like this seem a bit sketchy

    Aberdeen station redevelopment

    Isn't there already a big M&S food hall in Union Square albeit at the opposite end of the centre.

    Crossrail - operating discussion and opening day 24th May

    Possibly me but I’ve not had a great experience today and haven’t even been on an EL train. I’m in London for a few days and staying at Canning Town. Quite fancied bagging one of the limited edition Oyster cards so decided to take a quick hop on the DLR to Custom House. DLR arrived there...

    West Coast Mainline Avanti cancellations 13/03/22

    I was due to travel from Glasgow on Sunday for a day out to Carlisle. When booking I had originally planned to travel on the service an hour later but when looking at the seat selector it looked really busy so opted for the earlier one as it was the same price and was looking a good bit...

    Question re amending an advance ticket

    Thanks. Is the the £10 amendment charge applicable though is I suppose my big question. If it’s only available for tickets issued by Avanti directly I’m as well writing them off but if I can change them without fee it’s worth doing. Thanks

    Question re amending an advance ticket

    Hello, hopefully someone can help me with this one. I’ve purchased two advance singles for Avanti services from an LNER ticket office. I now need to change the dates. looking at the Avanti website it says the rail industry have introduced an easement for fee-free amendments and that I...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    For a while after the new stock was introduced and there were a massive amount of problems there was a fitter on board for a while. I doubt it's still happening though.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    There should be a manager on duty at Euston and one of the Scottish stations - probably Edinburgh due to the splitting etc every single night the service operates. Having experienced the shambles on four occasions over the last three years which resulted in being bussed or late by hours it's...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Split/attach the Edinburgh/Aberdeen portions at Mossend instead and add Falkirk onto the Aberdeen portion to maintain the call with a more passenger friendly arrival time northbound.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    There is of course the possibility of splitting it elsewhere. If you put Aberdeen & Edinburgh together there then isn't the requirement for the Inverness and Fort William portions to go to Edinburgh at all. It may well be more convenient and cheaper to have all the splitting and attaching...
