I'm looking at doing a SeatFrog upgrade from York to Aberdeen. I prefer to purchase the guaranteed upgrade in advance, rather than going through the bid/auction process, but this now seems to be £95 one way. If I split the SeatFrog to, say, York - Edinburgh and Edinburgh -Aberdeen, but still...

So it would appear that the "current" TPE service on the north route, which was due to be replaced on Monday 12 September, will now run through to the December timetable change. This would have seen 2 tph restored to and from Liverpool, with an end to lengthy dwells at Manchester Victoria, one...

This afternoon, (Saturday 12 March) a friend of mine is returning from Southport to Leeds using a flexible ticket, so has elected to travel via Liverpool Lime Street. He has bid for, and successfully won a SeatFrog upgrade for just £5 on the 15.54 Liverpool Lime Street to Newcastle. All good...

I'm just having a browse through the December 2021 timetable. Contained within it, 1V92 0625 Holyhead to Maesteg arrives at Maesteg at 1212 and returns back as 1W94 1217 Maesteg to Holyhead. The journey time is 5 hours 47 minutes for 1V92 and 6 hours 4 minutes for 1W94. This led me to...

According to the LNER website, upgrades to First Class (from £25) are available every day of the week until 5 September. I assume they're priced the same as at weekends, so: £25 for London - Doncaster / Hull or anywhere else in between. £35 for London /Stevenage - Wakefield / Leeds / York or...

I don't think there's already a thread for these. On LNER, the promised two-hourly service between Bradford Forster Square (BDQ) and London King's Cross (KGX) have not yet materialised. However, there is an additional 1 train each way on every day of the week, including, for the first time for...

Due to the 16 day blockade of Acton Grange Junction, Virgin will be diverting a handful of their Anglo-Scottish services to run in service to/from Liverpool Lime Street, as follows: Fridays 26 July and 2 August 18.52 Edinburgh to Liverpool Lime Street arriving 21.57 Saturdays 20 & 27 July and...

Hi. Are there any websites out there that give train formations on a particular service? I'm travelling from Liverpool to London today and would obviously prefer an 11 coach Pendolino to a 9 coach one. Realtimetrains seems to give everything but the unit number and Opentraintimes also does...

Hi everyone, I am having a day trip on Eurostar to Paris in early September. I'd like to know if it's possible to buy a ticket that gives unlimited travel for 1 day on the Paris Metro / RER. If so, what do I ask for when I get there, and how much does it cost? Also, is it possible to buy...

Quick query? I am travelling First Class on the 15.20 Waterloo to Exeter St. Davids later today. Can I expect anything complimentary in First Class from the trolley? Also, is the train likely to be very busy, as I only have a counted place, not a seat reservation. Thanks.

East Coast's pocket timetables currently show this train (Mondays to Fridays) as having a "full" evening meal service in First Class, and the new December issue also shows this to be the case. Is this true? It is rather later than all the other trains that offer this facility - the 19.00...

Well, I suppose it wouldn't be a trip on East Coast if there wasn't some kind of delay somewhere(!) It is a bit annoying to see a succession of FCC EMUs trundle past on the Down Slow while we are sat (on the 08.30 KGX-NCL) on the Down Fast for goodness knows how long. Apparently the delay...

Travelling into Fenchurch Street earlier today, I was idly wondering about the short section of line that, travelling eastbound from Fenchurch Street, branches off to the left (north) just east of Limehouse station, thus permitting a direct routeing from Fenchurch Street into Stratford. I don't...

Hi. I am travelling up to Scotland early in May, and plan to buy a 4 in 8 day Highland Rover ticket. I shall be staying in Inverness for 3 nights, then travelling across to Fort William to stay there for 2 nights, before returning to Inverness to stay 1 more night. (This is to enable me to...

Could anybody tell me - for definite - if both the 08.10 and 09.00 Leeds to Exeter St. Davids trains will be formed HST this coming Sunday? Thanks a lot!

I'm travelling on the 10.01 York to Sunderland service, and have now been on it for just over an hour. In that time, the trolley stewardess has been through THREE times and has offered tea/coffee, juice/water and a choice of biscuits. (She has let me have 1 packet of each of the FIVE types of...

Makes me want to crawl barefoot over jagged glass and plead with Jeff Stelling to come back. He is more wooden than IKEA furniture and has all the charisma of a dead bluebottle. Who on earth decided that he would make a good presenter for this show?

These units have 1st Class seating, but are declassified throughout on journeys from Inverness to Wick and Kyle. Does anyone know the seat numbers of the 1st Class seats and which carriage they are usually in?

This is happening again. For bookings between 23rd and 29th November, for travel between 10 December and 22 January 2011. Available online and from station booking offices. Cheapest single fares range from £17 for a London/West Midlands journey to £40 for a London/Glasgow journey...

Does anyone know what the official re-opening date is for this station? I can't find anything on either the tfl website or on the Thameslink Programme website, apart from "late December".
