I feel a very fortunate. Got the 1430 from Kings Cross to Peterborough. Arrived in Peterborough at just before 4. The 1559 to Newcastle was sat on platform 5, and was an HST. Walked past David Horne on the foot bridge, great to see him in the thick of things. Free water being handed out at the...

Thank you all - very interesting reading your replies It does lead to a another question though. Why does the Liverpool - Norwich train use platform 4 at Peterborough. I thought that's why platform 6 & 7 were built. Also is there a speed restriction near Welwyn Garden City at the moment?

Evening all, I've now been taking the about train daily for the last six weeks. Disclaimer time - I'm not at all having a moan in the below - I am purely interested if anyone could add any further comments / context in terms of the performance of this particular service. I guess like most...

Bit of a mess tonight. No trains out for about an hour going north of Peterborough. Platforms full so no platforms for local trains. Seems a shame that LNER couldn’t have run at least one service to Grantham. They had four trains fully loaded and then cancelled them. Currently very cosy on the...

I've been to Birmingham today from Stamford Lincolnshire. Journey to Birmingham was good - traveled on the 0906 Coming back has been a nightmare. I ended up coming back via Derby and Leicester. Train to Stamford eventually arrived in Leicester at about 19:30 after also coming via Derby...

Just to close this off. The day after my trip I popped into the ticket office in Peterborough in the hope of getting a refund. After explaining to the guy in the travel centre what had I happened I asked him to double check I had collected my original advance tickets, even though the guy...

I'd rather not upload the image as I really don't want to get anyone in trouble as the guy in Newcastle was pretty adament that it shouldn't have been done in the first place. Can't quite remember the exact words but is was along the lines of 'authority for 1 x gent to travel on headcode xxxx...

They were advance orange tickets :)

Hi all, Pretty sure I read on here that Virgin Trains East Coast had a understanding view towards when that dreaded moment comes when you arrive at the station and have left your tickets at home. This happened to me this morning travelling from Peterborough to Newcastle. After I...

Wouldn't it have to be have turned regardless due to the formation it was running in? When it went through Peterborough heading north this morning the 90 was on the front, coupled to the DVT with the class 91 on the back. Could it in theory been driven back from the class 91 with the class 90...

If it is still on 1D23 it has a smashed widescreen according to the guard on my train the 1730 from Kings Cross. 1D23 terminating a Pottars Bar

My gf is travelling back from Manchester today to Peterborough and has been caught up in this. Would appear no Leeds trains have run since about 1300 so she has had to go via Sheffield and Doncaster. She is now at Doncaster with rather a large crowd. Rather a mess. Would I be right in thinking...

Evening all, I travelled from Peterborough to Norwich this morning. I was booked on the 0736 from Peterborough. I was aware of the disruption before I left home and was quite impressed to get a tweet straight back from East Midlands Trains at 0640 to tell me a bus would be leaving...

Nope - 19:03 also making an additional stop at Stevenage

I'm on the 19:03 from KGX to Leeds. Left a bit late and it's very cosy on here :)

Thanks all for the advice. So I assume FGW have a different delay repay policy to East Coast, e.g. It isn't 30 minutes delay and then 50% back

Hi, Never thought of checking that :lol: I've always assumed that if I wasn't booked on a specific train then I could get on the first one, which I do every week unless my reservation states otherwise. I've had my ticket checked quite a few times on the 08:00 from Paddington when doing...

Hi all, Travelled on this service on Monday morning I was travelling on a advance on the 0639 Peterborough to Winnersh Triangle. My train from Peterborough was 10 mins late which meant I missed the 0800 from Pad to Reading and then the 0842 from Reading to Winnersh. I eventually arrived in...

Saw a 91 being dragged by a 67 through Peterborough station at 1900 tonight. Looking at RTT it went via Cambridge to Bounds Green. Good news was that the girlfriends train was on time coming from the Cross
