    Dangerous boarding procedures at Euston

    Why can’t we walk around the front of the platforms to access the 8-11 tube entrance? (I have occasionally done it and got a telling off)

    Dangerous boarding procedures at Euston

    It’s been abysmal for the last fourteen years I’ve been commuting there and getting steadily worse. Euston’s main problem is that it considers passengers an inconvenience; annoying sheep who have to be herded or restricted to ensure they comply with ‘the rules’. One entity needs to take...

    How to make the boarding experience at Euston safer and more pleasant

    Put the display screen back by the underground gatelines so 8-11 passengers can go direct to platforms Take away the walls around the tube escalator lobby so you can exit straight to the concourse Allow passengers to transfer between platforms at the buffer ends in times of disruption

    Family trip from Milton Keynes to Canary Wharf/London

    In the end we drove to Stanmore (100 mile round trip) and used Underground services, arriving CW in good time. Very thankful we did, as with all the disruption yesterday we’d have returned to Euston just as it closed, possibly putting the children off train travel forever! They found the...

    Family trip from Milton Keynes to Canary Wharf/London

    What did I just see at Wolverton?

    Sorry for the bad pic but didn’t have time to go up close! Wolverton depot today, 5+ cars, end doors, no panto that I could see. What class is this? (surprised they risk stabling anything so close to that decrepit building..)

    Avanti West Coast Rolling Stock Updates

    Did I sit on a refurbished set yesterday? In my haste to find any train I travelled on 1F26, the 1902 EUS-LIV in U Didn’t like the standard seat. Sorry. Base too firm, reclined too much, and the wings on the side of the head rest are also too firm. Even the 350 seats are more comfy

    Transfer of LNER HST 125s to East Midlands Railway (EMR)

    I’ve been fixing up my old Hornby “Intercity” HST set that’s been in a box for 30 years - so the kids could play with it, honest - thought I’d take a look to see where its power cars 43072 and 43051 ended up. Seems like they are now 43272 and 43251 and relevant to this thread. Are they still...

    RMT DOO Dispute on West Midlands Trains

    Isn’t that breach of contract, possibly even illegal? Assuming it wasn’t voluntary RDW or whatever

    Delay Repay

    I claim for everything, despite the process being a completely tedious affair. The rail company should know the price, ticket type, destination etc. from the ticket number, which they should be able to recognise from the photo of the ticket
