Trashy hatchet job I thought. And largely ignored the fact that our railways are underfunded and expensive because the government wants it that way,

Doesn't mean that at all. Bit tricky to board in Motherwell a southbound train that is starting at Preston!

I was going to say, they all look like luxury for a 2 hour hop! Even the 29000 looks comfier than a Turbostar!

They'll even think it's Scotrail's own heritage train, given it has Scotrail all over it. Video of it departing Crewe from the Railcam Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/9BspM6FtuB27mxpv/

OP wasn't brave enough for his own case to proceed to court but seems willing to risk his partner's finances and criminal record to prove a point, with a seemingly slim chance of success, even to the extent of proposing defending his partner himself. I don't want to be too blunt, but anything...

Ah you're right, I missed the small "Sun 7th Apr" flag

Very strange. Cambridge to Royston searches on NRE app return rail only itineraries, a few via bus to Stansted and thence Liverpool St or Peterborough and Hitchin. However Cambridge to Shepreth returns a mix of direct buses to Shepreth and some buses Cambridge to Royston and double back to...

I would be surprised if guards were describing them as "a nightmare" purely on the basis of wheels wearing down 1711227985

Another Vivarail disaster. Best off cutting their losses and talking to TfL about the 1973 stock.

I never knew about this service! 6 hours from Newcastle to Finsbury Park via Durham Coast on Mk 1s hauled by a 40 for the equivalent of £30 in today's money. The equivalent of running a lash up of 158s to London today. I would totally be on this...

I was joking - I’ve been involved with the fuel cell industry on and off for nearly 20 years in various capacities. I am very familiar with fuel cell chemistry, shall we say! More visible exhaust than a 769 on diesel!

"Clag!!" Good to see. It will have its place in the future mix.

Yes the interworking of all day 8 car diagrams (mostly 387 with few 700, thankfully) between Kings Lynn and now hourly Cambridge stoppers has completely changed the diagrams and they couldn't have done that with 365s. You could probably extend the up Foxton platform and the up Meldreth platform...

This is like claiming they've not provided an adequate way to pay because you are forgetful and have to look up the PIN for your credit card. You can take as long as you like at a ticket gate. You had a pdf ticket in your email and downloaded to your phone and have chosen to make a lengthy and...

They're also a step change in standard class seat comfort, in my opinion. They actually have padding.

I expect they'll issue a PF for that as well

I've done Cambridge to Manchester via Paddington and Newport in recent months, as well as Cambridge to Coventry via Waterloo, Westbury, Bristol, Newport, Hereford and Birmingham and the combination of advances available were actually very affordable, little more than Avanti wanted for the...

Any routing is of course possible with split ticketing, and the forum's ticketing site or Trainsplit will allow multiple via points to be used! If it was me, I would consider Edinburgh - Newcastle - Carlisle - Leeds - Sheffield - London Glasgow - Manchester - Newport - Paddington ensuring you...

Are these paper tickets? I've succeeded without fail on multiple delay repay sites, including the identical WMT site, simply by submitting the total cost of all tickets, the ticket number of the most expensive, and when asked for a photo of the ticket, I've simply submitted a photo of both in...

That concludes the Battle of the Boing. Up next the EMR Derby: Liverpool Norwich
