I am flying back to Liverpool Airport, with a scheduled arrival of 19:20. So I anticipate being able to respond quickly and travel on either an earlier ex-Liverpool train or travel to Warrington Bank Quay to catch a southbound train from there. Either way, I anticipate it being a 'keep the...

Are PRO obligations still in force in situations like these? Wondering as I have booked to travel from Runcorn to Euston on the last Avanti of the day on Thursday 4th...

Hello lovely Trainsplit team, I love the new beta website; very slick and modern! I particularly like the ability to view all the permutations of tickets for a given itinerary very easily. The permalinks are great too! Just wondering if I am missing something, but there does not seem to be a...

Couldn't agree more! Travelling often from Glasgow to Edinburgh on ScotRail's Class 385's and comparing with trips down the WCML on Pendolinos, the hop across the central belt feels faster and more lively due to what must be Hitachi's cheep and cheerful suspension on the AT200 family...

My guess is that it’s to reduce the possibility of people booking to travel on that last one in case they cancel it and leave themselves open to hotel bills or £300 taxis. Presumably they can convince enough people to book for the second-to-last train. Such a shame ticketing can be so opaque in...

I’ve checked again since your reply @ainsworth74 and now I’m rather annoyed at myself; there were very cheap advances available for sale on Avanti’s site less than an hour ago when I made that post. That’s why I didn’t think it was a compulsory reservations flag issue. Great to know I can now...

Hello all, I'm trying to book an itinerary from Liverpool South Parkway (returning from a flight at Liverpool Airport) to Glasgow Central, late on 04/04/24 and am running into issues when trying to connect onto the last Northbound Avanti service (1S98) at Warrington Bank Quay. The above...

I'm wondering if there is a way to get Special Stop Order information given to passengers more quickly and transparently. I'm on 1M16, travelling from Glasgow Central to London Euston and thankfully have had a relatively peaceful journey down so far, but was atttempting to help passengers around...

Not saying it's right in any way. Just that the cogs of the railway machine will likely move faster, as they did at Lewisham.

If passengers want to be freed from stranded trains sooner than three hours after a problem occurs, I think they simply need to be less patient and start self-detraining sooner! With limited resources available from BTP/London Fire Brigade/Network Rail, a call from driver to signaller saying...

There's the original one where all lines are accessible from the same gateline (under King's Cross frontage onto Euston Road) and the new Northern ticket hall giving access to just the deep level lines. They have separate gatelines. I can't remember where the subsurface platform exit that's...

That's the one, thank you! Would teach me to read the sticky too :rolleyes:

Hello all, a poster on here made reference to a tube tracking website which I'd forgotten to bookmark. I remember it seemed to be more detailed than anything I'd seen before and could even drill down into track circuit-level detail. I also remember that it was built using the GOV.UK design...

I could not agree more with this excellently put point. I (like many others I hope) learnt exactly what the dangers of blindly accepting government messaging/nudging/diktat were, and the pitfalls in believing scientific "consensus" on what "obvious" issues with "easy" solutions were from March...

I've secured a superfare on tonight's 18:30 service, so no Midlands detour necessary. Here's hoping for an on time arrival which hasn't been the case recently...

Were both trains Trent Valley ones or via Birmingham ones? I agree on the last point, I don't suppose anyone else I know is aware of their existence. In a selfish way however, I guess it works well for us in the know! (Slightly OT but why do weekend evening Avanti Anglo-Scot trains take ages...

Well, I've booked one for Thursday evening (23rd). With a 25% chance of a via Birmingham service, I'd be really unlucky to get one...

Has anyone purchased a Superfare ticket between London and Glasgow? And if so, has it been on a via Birmingham or a Trent Valley service?

Yes too right! Got flights from Edinburgh for not to much additional outlay. Indeed, Glasgow airport is refreshingly small and easy to get to compared to London's airports. Paitence and solidarity and all that evaporates very quickly when your important travel plans are scuppered leaving you...

It's absolutely imperative I get from Glasgow to London on Saturday 17th Dec. Looks like it's back to easyJet before like minded people push the plane ticket price up....
