    EMT Weekend First?

    Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone can help me. Probably a daft question, but does EMT have weekend first? I can find absolutely nothing on their website that even alludes to it. Planning on going Reading to Nottingham on Sunday and don't fancy the suggested changes at Birmingham and Derby if I...

    Incident at Gloucester

    Reports of an incident involving a Dangerous Goods Train at Gloucester. I believe it is an oil train. Smoke was reported coming from it and all lines are blocked. Anyone for XC services are advised to travel via Reading or Didcot to travel North. Buses en route.

    Whitland Train Crash: Lorry Driver gets suspended jail term

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-21553799 I think it's a bit of a joke to be honest. Could of been even more serious than it was already. Weak sentence imho.

    'Have train fares gone up or down since British Rail?'

    Just saw this on the BBC and thought it would be of interest. I find it rather interesting that most of the season tickets appear to be better value in real terms compared to 1995. Whereas Single Fares are less so. So what are your opinions to this? Are Season holders much better off than they...

    Aldermaston Bridge removal

    Does anyone have a clue what's going on round Aldermaston? The road bridges at both ends of the station were completely removed over Easter to be replaced with green footbridges (so no cars can go from one side to the other without a diversion). I also noticed these green footbridges erected...

    Weekend First - XC or EMT?

    Planning on going to Nottingham on Saturday. Not too bothered which route I go and wanted to do a Weekend First upgrade but not sure which TOC to go with. Been with XC loads of times but never been with EMT at all (in fact not even been out of St. Pancreas!) So which would you all recommend...

    CrossCountry's Booking Engine - Unable to select seats

    It's doing my head in! Trying to book and reserve 2 Adults and 1 Child return from Newbury to Derby for someone. Select the right trains and all goes ok, then get to seats. For some reason every time I try to change the seats to somewhere else it takes ages and then says 'unable to fulfill...

    The Apprentice 2012

    Starts tonight on BBC 1 @ 9PM. Personally hoping that this Series is better than last years. Although I didn't mind last years Series I think it was a bit flat compared to previous years. Does anyone know the format for this year? Is it the same as last year or will it go back to Lord...

    FGW HST Lengthening

    Haven't seen anything on here so thought I would post it. It appears they have found some old buffet cars and are having them re-fitted into STD class coaches. 48 additional coaches in all apparently. Does this mean all HST's will be 2+8 from the some 2+7? Or will it mean mean 2+8's and...

    WAG Express question

    Apologies if this has come up before. I understand from reading ATW's website that you can purchase a Standard ticket and then upgrade to the premier service for an additional fare of £30-£50. My question is this: If I purchase a Standard PRIV ticket can I then purchase the premier...

    Playstation Network User Info may have been stolen

    Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13192359 Just thought I would post this as I know there are a few gamers on here. If you use the Playstation Network to download games and make purchases etc, Sony believe that the stored Credit Card information may have been stolen. What...
