    Crosscountry- can someone explain the madness?

    I know this is probably a stupid question. But are EMR's Meridians likely to end up with Cross Country. Plus also the Avanti 221s.

    Medical incidents on board trains

    I'm sorry but you are completly wrong on that. A few days on a first aid course may well keep a person alive until help arrives. Such as knowing how to do effective CPR or stopping heavy bleeding.

    Morning, I thought that at least one Avanti Pendolino should have been internally refurbished by now. Does anybody have any information on when the programme is likely to begin and when we are likely to see a refurbished set.

    Trivia: Stations that have direct service to London but few people wishing to travel there

    Halifax, Brighouse, Wakefield Kirkgate etc. on the GC Bradford KX. Surely these services must carry more local passengers as far as Doncaster. I can't see a massive Brighouse to KX daily demand.
