I picked up the delay repay pamphlet from the train station yesterday to read what one can do for non-season ticket refunds and was disappointed to note that you can only apply for a refund if you are not a season ticket holder if you travelled 3 or more times a week. Given I only travel twice...

I purchased my usual ticket from Peterborough to London this morning but got stopped at the barrier to the underground saying London Terminals no longer meant Moorgate?? Has something changed in the last couple weeks where you can now no longer travel between Kings Cross and Moorgate?? A chap...

So I just noticed that the trains from Peterborough are no longer run by FCC! Anyone have the skinny on why FCC got the boot from that that line? Regards Mailman

Any one know why the UK decided to electrify its rail network? Regards Mailman

So in the last four years my season ticket has gone up by over £1000, so does anyone know where all that extra money is going in improvements to my line? To be fair, Network Rail has started extended all the platforms between Peterborough and London so 12 carriage trains can stop...

Sounds like this is going to be funded by fare increases*. To a mere pleb like me it would make more sense that the train companies pay for the upgradse that will benefit them the most, and most certainly help them make more billions in profit. So, thoughts people? Should the upgrade be...

Hi guys, Anyone know when all that scaffolding is due to come down in Kings Cross? Regards Mailman

A question for you guys...how do you get heaters turned off in a carriage if you are travelling as a passenger on a stinking hot day? How does one get the message to the driver to turn the heating off? Regards Mailman

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2116640/Safety-fears-mean-end-line-couple-tended-railway-flowers-decade.html So, I throw this to the unwashed masses...is this yet another example of elf and safety madness or is the station master justified stopping these old codgers from doing the...

WOW! And I mean WOW! What a difference now most of the scaffolding has been removed and sunlight can get in to the station! The place is so bright and airy now that its almost a pleasure to walk through the station in the mornings :) So, big thumbs up to the station....such a massive...

Im on a roll today :) But can someone explain why, when you watch a train approaching the platform that it will halt right at the start of the platform where the tunnel ends for a few seconds (or minutes) before then starting up again and carrying on to the platform? Ive noticed trains...

Made an interesting observation (well it was to me) this morning while waiting 20 minutes before I could get on to an underground train at Kings Cross this morning. When I got to the platform it was pretty empty (835am) but I did not that the next train wasnt for another 4 minutes. By the...

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum but I have to say the new Metropolitan underground trains are pretty bloody good. Ok, they still have some funky ideas around seat arrangement (why cant they just put the seats on the outside of the carriage and allow as many people standing space as...

Can I use my season pass to get between London Kings Cross and Moorgate (I dont have the underground on it)? I walked through the barriers the other day, using my season pass without thinking at Kings Cross. I was surprised when it let me through. so, is that legal? Regards Mailman

Hi guys, I havent seen an 8 carriage train going to Moorgate for quite a while now...anyone know if they are all 6 carriage trains now? Regards Mailman

At the end of last year FCC was trumpeting how they were increasing the number of seats on their trains in to London from Peterborough but what seems to have happened is that they have merely removed a lot of the 12 carriage services and merely made every train now running 8 carriage jobs (up...
