I notice compulsory reservations now apply to all Avanti services. What happens if you have an open ticket and decide to use Avanti, would you be allowed to?

Interesting comment from today's Guardian website. Why can’t I book a train? How Avanti West Coast hit the buffers A drivers’ strike in October will help mask the service failures of one of Britain’s main train operators. A drivers’ strike in October will help mask the service failures of one...

An application to change the now closed Coffee Shop on platform 1 to a drinking establishment has been approved. That is as much as I know but hopefully it will become one of the growing number of stations with a real ale bar...

Quite a few LM long distance trains curtailed today due to unavailability of train crew, both on the Euston-Crewe and Birmingham-Liverpool services. Anybody know the specific reason or is it just a bad day?

A GW HST set, but has anybody any idea where in Somerset this is? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26084245

I notice there are a few cancellations this morning due to staff unavailablity. What is strange though is that the 07:46 (1U25) Euston to Crewe has been terminated at Rugby for the above reason. Realtime Trains shows this but is also showing a STP LM working originating from Rugby at the same...

The latest LM Euston-Crewe/Birmingham timetable lists a Mon-Fri Euston to Crewe leaving Euston at 07:46 and calling at Nuneaton at 09:00 (previously 9:16). Intending to catch this train yesterday I first checked my computer for the Nuneaton Live Departure Board which stated that the 08:55(?)...

The popular enthusiast friendly Coffee Shop on platform 1 (not to be confused with the newer LM franchised "Giardino" also on platform 1) is to close in just over a week. :cry: LM will not allow the retiring leaseholder to pass the lease on for use as a cafe, only for pure retail, i.e...

Just a reminder that Liverpool Central closed today, the Wirral Line until August 25th and the Northern Line until October 22nd. Earlier on the BBC local news website was showing a photograph of Liverpool South Parkway captioned as LiverpoolCentral!

I am amazed that LM decided that Tuesday, one of the busiest days on the system, that Nuneaton ticket office would be still be closed for the holiday. The queue for the sole ticket machine even at mid-day overspilled from the foyer and along the outer wall of the station for 20-30 yards. Many...

How many stations have a missing sequence in the platform numbering? I know of only one, Stafford, with no number 2 platform. Are there any others?

What stations are there with a service in one direction only, despite the line having bi-directional passenger services? I know of only one, but maybe there are more.
