Once again many booked Euston-Chester trains are running to Bangor on Thursday and Friday, and starting back on Monday, in connection with the No.6 festival. ; It would appear the 17.10 from Euston on Thursday and Friday is a single set as the duplicated path as far as Chester is showing as...

Many times now available in Open Train Times. Obviously the fact a train is missing at this stage cannot be taken to imply it is withdrawn ; GWR - electrics to Didcot after Christmas. XC - at first glance none of the consulted changes are included.

Any idea what happened to this - seems to have been delayed at Stafford and then gone TV and judging from a subsequent ECS arriving at Nuneaton, terminated at Lichfield. This cl.390 then appears to have turned into a Voyager and run to Stafford - however trackit has this last with times at...

journey check shows 19.35 Chester-Euston calling Stafford, Lichfield, Tamworth, Nuneaton and the 20.30 Euston-Preston at Nuneaton. ; I can't spot any reason for this - anyone know why. ; The 19.30 Euston was also calling at Stafford, but that isn't all that unusual if passengers are delayed...

Travelling from Worcester to Birmingham one day last week noted a number of cards listing forthcoming improvements to London Midland trains, mostly already announced at the time of the direct award, but in addition a reference to additional calls at Bescot Stadium as an alternative to Tame...

Does anyone know when the booking office opened. Nothing seems to have been published by EMT but raileasy gives opening hours.

The toilets on platform 2 have finally reopened following either an "incident" or "plumbing issues" many months ago - might be of use to anyone changing there.

The 17.20 EUS-BHM AND 17.28 EUS-GLC were trapped. Two Voyagers were terminated at Rugby, with one or both sent to collect passengers off the Birmingham - watching on the maps it would appear the rescue train went back bang road to cross over at Blisworth and the evacuated train overtook it...

On journey check their is a long list of trains cancelled "due to engineering work not being finished on time" and then listed again as additional trains! ; Perusal of RTT shows they are cancelled as class two.s and running as class one.s - meaning that both the Cambrian and Shrewsbury-Inter...

On 1st and 2nd September many Euston-Chester services are extended to Bangor in connection with the No.6 festival at Portmerion, rather than last years poorly loaded shuttles from Crewe. Perusal of RTT suggests this will result in the 05.50 Glasgow-Euston being five cars throughout and also...

Surprised to see automatic barriers in operation at platforms 1 to 3 this morning for passengers joining - quite what happens if someone decides to use the outward gate and ignore staff (of which there seemed to be more than for a manual grip) calling them back I don't know.

yesterday morning I was surprised to see a set in Crewe CS at 07.15. From RTT it would seem that 5A81 Barton-u-N-Euston, http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y82787/2016/05/24/advanced which is booked to detach one set at New St for Holyhead, also conveyed a set to go to Crewe to form the...

Journey check reports failed train on up Carlisle-Penrith - nothing on maps. ; National Rail saying 60 minute delays , omitting to mention no trains Lancaster - Carlise in either direction! ; Any idea on train involved?

Negotiations are in hand for Midland Classic to take over Arriva's work in Burton, except for the Coalville/Leicester and Derby routes. MC had already applied for 20 additional discs and an OC at Wetmore Road. This will of course mean Julian Peddle re-acquiring some services he previously sold...

New editions of Arriva timetable booklets (1,2, at least - 4 presumably being held back untill the ORR decides on MIA) have all trains running between 16.00 and 18.30 in the evening peak boxed with a note stating "Off peak-day tickets may not be valid" ;

The afternoon trains have disappeared from RTT - when I last looked they were showing dmu rather than 185. I am guessing the poor path of the 18.03 Windermere has something to do with it - it had to wait at both Oxenholme and Lancaster for a path.

Does anyone know what happened to the passengers of this after being trapped by OLE damage at Heamies?. Watching the map it appears they were transfered to a 1Z99 Voyager which deposited them at Crewe around 00.30. ;

Taken by surprise one day last week to find a 150 on the front of a train I got off at Snow Hill - presumably covering the fire damaged 172s.

I note RTT has a 390 doing two round trips from Polmadie to Edinburgh each day. ; apologies if already discussed but does anyone know why? ' I know 390154 was dragged via GSW, but by my reckoning three should have been trapped on 31st, plus any on maintenance.

ON certain dates from January passenger trains appear in the pdf WTT and RTT as calling at the parcels platform - looks as though P3 and P4 are either shut or restriced use for around a month each. ; Can't find anything in Engineering Access Statement
