Sorry first of all as I don't know the exact title of the role, but I'm talking about the trolley person here. A friend of mine has had their assessment and interview for the above position, and has been told that a typical day for Leeds based crew will involve trips as far as Glasgow and...

I bought a ticket to/from Glasgow from Liverpool for travel today. My train was 0812 from Liverpool, giving me exactly 5 hours in Glasgow before my 1629 train back. Due to overhead line problems we had to terminate in Carlisle, by this point 30 mins down. There was no replacement coach service...

I'm currently watching a You Tube driver-cam video posted very recently showing a journey from Glasgow Central to Manchester Airport. On the approach to Lancaster you can see horrendous fly tipping almost next to the track, and down the embankments from people's houses on the Rylands estate...

I'm catching this train tomorrow from Southport to Manchester Piccadilly. Does anyone know what stock I can look forward to? Thanks in advance.

Not sure first of all if this is in the right forum or whether it should be under Fares Advice. My question is this. I know Southern Vectis offer through fares across the IOW but their site doesn't give prices, except for day tickets or individual routes. I would like to know how much it would...

Does anybody know if this role just involves operating the retail trolley and serving First Class customers? I can't find anything else on the current adverts, and £28k p.a. seems a very good salary for a role of this nature. Also, how far do Leeds based staff travel on their allocated trains...

Does anybody work for them and is it true you work a 6 day week if you're full time? Thanks in advance.

The 1716 Cardiff Central-Holyhead was cancelled tonight, so does this mean the return working tomorrow morning from Holyhead will be cancelled too?

As part of my next ALR, I am thinking of getting the 0602 from Bangor (ex-Holyhead) to Cardiff train, but only as far as Shrewsbury. Am I likely to receive the full breakfast service? Many thanks.

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but supposing I did a 7 day ALR which commenced on a Monday, am I able to use a Caledonian Sleeper train back from Scotland, leaving the following Sunday evening, bearing in mind it would then stretch into the Monday on arrival in London? Thanks in...

I cannot believe how stained some of these are at the moment. Northern gave us all the fanfare of new and refurbished trains, but many of the refurbished units look shabby. Look at this for example. Totally unacceptable, as posted on a Facebook page by a fellow passenger.

Quick question. Is there likely to be a First Class complimentary offer on the above service, but from Huddersfield at 0653? Also, what are the loadings like between Huddersfield and Liverpool? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure where to put this but I thought I'd share this article from the Manchester Evening News with you. It is from a couple of years ago, but I doubt this makes much difference to the facts. Pay attention to the "Commute" sections listed under each place. Bromley Cross apparently doesn't...

I handed my notice in on 1st April 2019 (not a joke!) offering to work until 10th May as I'd overused my holiday to that date. As I had been off sick for some time, they replied by email accepting my notice, and advising I didn't need to work it, and that I would receive a month's pay in lieu of...

Could someone please tell me why this 'all stops' train to Sheffield starts in Kettering rather than St Pancras? I have seen it on RTT, so thinking it may have been a service that split at Kettering, with the other portion maybe going to Corby, I looked on EMT's timetable and it seemed to show...

There are, as you'll be aware, many towns in the UK that are not served by railways. Leigh for example, Gosport, Skelmersdale, Washington, Ashington, Portishead, Clevedon as others. Do they necessarily need connecting to the railways? Let's look at Leigh for example, a reasonably sized town...

Today I have been out for the day with my ticket shown above. As it was a return ticket where I could choose the destination, I opted for Whitehaven. The reason was so I could travel from Leeds to Carnforth via the 'Little North Western' route, then up the Cumbrian Coast to Carlisle, then back...

Hi all On Tuesday I'm taking advantage of the above ticket which I will be using from East Croydon. As they cannot be used until 10am, my itinerary will be as follows; 1003 East Croydon-1149 St Leonards WS 1437 Hastings-1548 Brighton 1602 Brighton-1723 Portsmouth & Southsea 1911 Portsmouth...

I just got back from London last night using EMT's First Class, but I'm travelling back down on Sunday using Megabus from Huddersfield, changing at East Midlands Parkway onto a slower, all stops (almost) EMT service to St Pancras. Has anyone ever done this combination, and if so, what's Megabus...

Does anyone know if the above ticket still exists, if there's any restrictions (including time), and the validity area?
