I had that on a trip from Edinburgh to Dundee in January and found it quite nice .. although it was quite a small serving

Depending on what you saved on the ticket price ... wouldn't it be worth taking a bus from Waverley to Haymarket (perhaps £2 only) or tram maybe .. or if you are feeling fit, it's only a little over one mile to walk.

I had a similar situation when taking trains from Newcastle to Carlisle, then Carlisle to Workington. There was an approximate waiting time of 40 minutes, on my advance tickets but as my first train pulled into Carlisle I checked an app on my phone and saw there was a train about to leave to...

I'm travelling to Birmingham later in the year, from Newcastle which is on the east of the country. Rather than taking the direct route on Cross Country, I'll be travelling to Carlisle, then down the west coast mainline on Avanti. I've heard so many stories about XCountry, I would rather just...

Last year, at the time I booked my LNER train ticket I had never heard about the PlusBus scheme. Several weeks later, I called in at my local station (Newcastle), showed them the rail ticket and my railcard and was sold a discounted PlusBus ticket Maybe the station was wrong in doing this, I...

Maybe you would be wise to phone Nexus, who run the Metro and explain the situation. Their number is .. 0191 20 20 747

My wife and I have had several mini breaks over the past 18 months so we are looking for somewhere new, either for late 2024 or early 2025. We sometimes just visit one place at a time, but often we visit two places over a few days (x2 2-day breaks) I had actually considered 2 days in Aberdeen...

OP here .. thank you for your comment. I've been looking on YouTube at noticed the first-class carriages have yellow detailing, so they will be easy to spot. iIcan always run if I am standing in the wrong place .. no doubt my wife will be able to handle our (hers really) heavy suitcase. Ha ...

OK, that's great .. I just hope there are plenty of seats available

I recently booked tickets on the forum's website for my wife and I, travelling in June from Glasgow (GLQ) to Edinburgh, then down to Newcastle (see image of one of our tickets) We are travelling first class, so we are obviously we are looking forward to our LNER journey down the ECML from EDB...

I sent the email on 22nd March and have heard nothing yet. I know Easter will have caused a slight delay .. but should I just wait a few more days, or maybe write a follow-up email, or even send a letter ? thanks !

Oh, I see now .. I always buy advances .. thanks for your reply We are heading to London in August, and will hopefully book early enough to see advances being available

When this thread started I heard about the Manors and Haymarket ticket options .. there were a couple of London stations too which kept getting mentioned.I've just forgotten their names I'm not too sure how these 'tricks' work I am travelling from Newcastle to Edinburgh with my wife (with 2...

I was thinking .. Take the front seat on the right, heading north ... you would be looking east take the front seat on the right, heading south .. you would be looking west. I am also assuming there is a front and back of the train .. but that's maybe not correct .. So I have to agree ...

Not exactly correct .. you could just sit on the exact same seat on the way back .. you'd be looking out the 'other window' unless the train was travelling in reverse:D

I actually asked this only last Friday .. see post just a few above yours. Luckily, after a quick search online, I discovered that if I added the tickets to my basket, the option of picking seats became available.. i was booking LNER tickets though, one company I know to have a seat selection...

Doesn't Lebara offer good value too .. I often hear about them having great offers on a month by month contract basis

Premier Inn Liverpool City Centre (Liverpool One) My wife and I stayed here a few months ago and would certainly recommend it The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Liverpool Central station (LVC) and perhaps 10 minutes (if that ?) from Liverpool Lime Street station. (LIV) Close to the shops and...

Hub by Premier Inn (London Goodge Street) My wife and I have had a couple of mini-breaks here (2022 and 2023) and are going again this August. We recommend it 100% Although the rooms are small, they aren't too bad and anyway, we were in London to see the sights, not sit in the hotel. For the...
