One thing people need to be aware of is that 'Biomass' is classed as a 'renewable' source, when in fact , it is anything but..........

anybody who has to use 'Voyagers' as their staple means of train travel have my deepest sympathies.....Yuck !

that was my first thought ;)

thanks for the info, we expect the worst, we just wish somebody would put us out of our misery...... will be the 3rd canx of this trip....

Good Morning All we are booked on a service next Saturday, however, whilst we await further information from the operator, does anybody think the tour has any chance of operarting ex York next Saturday in view of the RMT strike action ?

So shutting down industries and putting people on the dole is your answer ? crazy..... especially as importing from around the globe created additional emissions..... you do realise that wherever emissions originate, there are no boundaries on the Planet for CO2 ? saving the Planet is not a...

whoever planned, authorised and ordered such short sets for these very long distance services should have been sacked, and the whole XC plan re-written..... Totally unacceptable stock for such a long service, added to the fact that they are smelly and noisy ( like me ? ). Glad I have only had...

There's obviously a weakness within the regulations. Such long distance services should not be allowed with such small, short formed, totally unsuitable and inadequate trains....it's a disgrace. Many a time, travelling northbound, and changing at Peterborough, I have watched across the platform...

I don't think it is a 'class' issue at all...... you'll have seen the various replies above and none of them are relevant to class, it's all about necessity, convenience, value and opportunity to travel on the train, and if 1st Class is an option, particularly on long distance, then , why not ...

Oh, not relevant , however, Michael Portillo and his TV crew boarded at Taunton and had to squeeze passed everyone in the queue, they all alighted at Castle Cary..........

Having traveled Paddington to Plymouth and back this weekend, on both trips, the trolley was static at the other side of coach D, opposite the bike rack. We didn't need to use it westbound as we had our own supplies, but went for two cups of tea en-route home. The queueing down coach D could not...

How busy was the service ? we are thinking taking the train on our next trip to the 'Dam

That must have been sickening for the work party staff stood in the way at the time as well as the driver......very, very fortunate that nobody was killed....terrifying incident.......will lessons be learned ?

myself and my girlfriend traveled Inverness - Kyle , picked up a hire care, spent 3 days on Skye, dropped the car back at Mallaig and used the train back to Glasgow, in June 2016. Whilst both services were busy, there were enough seats for everyone , though we did have reserved seats. I do...

Hope everyone on the Forums enjoyed their Christmas and best wishes for a prosperous and Happy New Year

IIRC MP went down a 'zip wire' from the Holmenkollen in Oslo on one of his European escapades.......?

Those trains are rammed... I have seen them arrive at Peterborough, 2 carriage sets, and witnessed the bun fights to get on just to stand ! an absolute disgrace for such a long journey, hardly an incentive to travel to those destinations by train.

I don't think HS2 would get off the ground if it did not benefit London. All those ideas of re-balancing the economy and helping growth in the regions became impossible many years ago as London became just too large an electro-magnet and swallowed up everything whole.....and the growth...

What a wonderful human spirited idea, hats off to all involved, very generous....... however, now it's in the public domain, I hope they'll have enough food and room for the 600+ that will turn up on the day !

You may also have to factor in the change in work practices for many people. I know of several who commute from Manchester to London, however, they only stay 2 nights in the capital, working 3 days there, and work 2 days from home and therefore are able to still reside in the Manchester suburbs.
