well these above date's for the FA Cup day, to avoid Euston at all costs, this will test the highly trained staff and their contingency plans...

"being fair to passengers" is not in Euston's methodology...

is'nt delay repay a good thing for the travelling public intending to compensate them, but all the good intentions went out of the window, when the rail companies introduced many hoops for joe public to jump thru. So making it very hard to get what repay is due... indeed hoping they will give it up.

but thankful that the call was made...

that response must have come down from their ivory tower... and if, God forbid something did happen then good luck to the competent staff managing the congestion... at our local football club we are told and have been for a good while the threat is substantial. Just imagine............

this is what is called common sence, do the railways have that in their vocabulary or working practises manual? or is the "self loading freight" a necessary inconvenience...

a good start would be to let the station management do the "run", let half have luggage, give them a average board time and be sure its videoed...

if the platform is displayed after the inbound passengers have disembarked and cleared the platform, the cleaning will have started. It will give out-bound passengers time to get to the ticket check then arrive on the platform to wait for the doors to be opened... "simplies" or is this too easy...

does the Euston "experience" all come down to the sociology that the passenger comes way down the list of things to do, in despatching a train... for the sake of an on time departure "let the passenger" rush if they get on fair enough if they don't wait for the next crush... we've got targets to...

i'm not in the industry now thank goodness, but from what i've seen/heard the vote was do you want your union to use further industrial action if need be, as per the law that the union must ballot members every 6 months, not do you accept the offer that's on the table... So if they had a vote...

could/should there be a minimum boarding time introduced, ie 15mins displayed then if the cleaners have not done, passengers could wait on the platform, even if a train is arriving the platforms are wide enough, and i'm sure i've seen seats dotted about... or is that to simple for Euston?

but your job depends on that tourism and retail, and a hopeful labour govt. have said it wont be a quick fix when we get in...

a few years ago on Virgin, i think lightning knocked signals out, the TM announced free phone calls as long as the phone cards in the shop lasted, seemed to work well...

a bit of a drift but this made me laugh as it reminded me of Harry H. Corbett in "the Bargee", he said his mother named him after "Hemel" Hampstead where their barge was when he was born, his mate said your lucky it was not "Berk"hamsted

Yesterday, Monday 11/3/24, I arrived at 1225 to catch the 1253 Euston to Manchester Picc. On the board it said words to the effect boarding details at 1235, I had seen on app that it "might" be 14, so had a look, but nothing there, although a few people were gathered there. At 1239, it...

i have used 0806 Derby - Luton airport parkway service, and the return in the early pm approx. 1400 service quiet often pre covid, which meant a change at Leicester, and a max. of 3-4mins delay was all i met with. Also i sometime's went from Luton PW down to St. Pancras with hardly any delays or...

not me i.m now retired, but my daughter is a ambulance/patient transport driver, in a now classed private company she has not had a pay rise for over 4yrs... but will this April cause the minimum wage is going up. My take on this is where you start from, ie a train driver difficult job...

seeing the heading, took me back to the 60's you payed about £5 and the mystery train took you anywhere on the system, and it was always booked out...

thanks tspaul26, for that possible route, but again surely if at the start of the journey they are not working, to avoid any "confusion and disruption" later, they should stay off, and an announcement be made...

so if the screens are off then come on into the journey, do you hold your ground (or seat) or get up and try and find another seat, but what if the train is full? So the common sence approach would be to leave the screens off surely... and apologise at each stop.
