Thanks. Any info on engineering works between Manchester and Exeter? The week before any journeys are showing a transfer at Newport. Looking at the 19th April coming back a week later. Network rail still say nothing on the website. Andy

Quick one, but when do we get visibility of any planned engineering works for the Easter 2014 weekend. Only info online I can see is the disruption on the WCML around Watford. Cheers in anticipation Andy

Just out of interest when do NR announce what works will be taking place over Easter? Cheers Andy

Can anyone suggest a route and fare to get to Watford and back on the same day "Sunday 28th August". Live in Bolton so can be flexible in terms of departing mainline stations in the Nw area. Only criteria is to be be at Watford before 13:30 on the Sunday. Best I have so far is £70...

Apologies for a possible re-post. But I have not done the Man > Euston run for a while, in the day light anyway. For the first time yesterday we stopped at MK Central and I happened to notice what looked like LED display units on the far station. The looked to be in pairs and at a spacing of...

Yepp. Engineering works...... FGW are looking at re-booking now. Suppose questions are, if they know I am booked on a service that no longer exists then why did they not contact me? Andy

Just had a bit of shock and hope someone can clear this query up. I have tickets for 7 tickets & seats booked for the 10:06 out of Paddington to Exeter on the 23rd April. Shock horror that when I look on Trainline and National Rail the journey does not exist. Trains before and after are on...

On the last few occasions when picking up tickets at Man Piccadilly using the VT ticket machines I have just used the card without any need for the reference code. Andy

Apologies I meant an any train ticket so I book a ticket that means If I miss the 1006 then I can still use them on a later service. Rather than an advance that is only valid on the train I have booked. At the moment the Super-off Peak is £103 for the lot of us, I take it that even though I...

Hi Not the same journey but we got advance tickets on the Saturday 23rd going from Manchester to London on VT. Andy

Thanks for all the comments and pointers and suggestions. We are travelling down from Manchester to get to Exeter, youngest kid is 4 the rest are 8-13 in years. We usually get the XC direct but on that day it's all too many changes. My only concern is if the VT is later getting into London, we...

Need to get to Downham Market next Thurs 10th Feb for my dads 80th. Due to work need to do it there and back in a day. Ok for getting back as I can get the 17:07 to Ely and then onto Manchester. Any ideas on what split routes I can take to get to Downham Market from Bolton as early as...

Continuing on from my thread on Paddington to Exeter... Waiting for advance tickets to come on sale for the 1006 Saturday service to Exeter (23rd April) Just out of curiosity started to book a seat to see if I could get a table seat and power socket for the kids electrical gubbins. When...

Cheers for all the comments left. Looks like it will have to be the 1006 as the 1106 does not appear on the schedule. I take it I can book reservations on the FGW, with the usual options of table, power points etc. Andy

Cheers guys, Will keep a watch on the GWR site. Why deffo get the 1006? Do they do free beer :lol: Getting stung by XC on advance refunds on my original journey, amazing they will let me choose a different date and a different time, so in effect travelling on a completely different...

Hi We get into Euston for 09:06 was looking at the 10:06 out of paddington. Andy

Hi all, Need a bit of advice on GWR and South West trains to Exeter from London on Sat 23rd April. Got some great tickets from Manchester to Euston on VT, £29 for 2 + 5 kids. Next is the bit across to Exeter, have a choice of Waterloo South West (longer and cheaper) or Paddington (Quick...

Thanks for the replies. Well I guess there is some work taking place between Cheltenham and Gloucester as the Friday trains are all being replaced by buses between the 2 stations. On Saturday the work must ramp up as the link from Manc to Cheltenham is not there. The other options are...

We have caught this Cross Country service from Man to Exeter on many occasions when I come to look and book seats for the 23rd April it does not show, yet the service shows the week before and week after. I cannot find any reference on the net with regard to services being cancelled at all over...
