    How busy have your trains been?

    It varies but coming in 2-3 days per week from September seems to be a fairly universal request yes so I am expecting a bigger step up come 5th September.

    How busy have your trains been?

    Morning commute is still dead from Leeds to Manchester but the return is starting to have most of the seats taken with every double with 1 person in. Some standing to Stalybridge from those not wanting to sit next to people. I've noticed my trains from Leeds to Keighley at weekends to be as...

    Why can't I book a place on a GWR service?

    Hmm maybe they are. I am going to start a separate thread in the relevant sub forum.

    Why can't I book a place on a GWR service?

    This is likely to be due to train having no reservable seats left as I have recently discovered on GWR and it is a right pain actually letting you get that far then saying actually no seats left sorry. Very un-user friendly way of doing it in my opinion! But then again I don't like compulsory...

    Wetherspoons

    I've already committed myself to MK spoons tonight. But next time I'm down here (actually got a job on in Fenny Stratford soon) I'll try them out! Thanks!

    Wetherspoons

    I am on a training course in Milton Keynes all week and tried spoons last night. Was quite impressed, especially with the selection of local ales for £1.99. Tried some really nice ones and will most certainly go back again! The only disappointment is I am used to a trek up at least 1,000,000...

    Wetherspoons

    Having had a Knife pulled out on me in the bathroom by someone i had never met for daring to want to wash my hands after a pee, i'd say my upbringing has not been that sheltered to find that scary?

    Wetherspoons

    As would I. It is not the place for it.

    Wetherspoons

    You know what you get and you pay for it. Reliable for ale and often local ones too when away from home. Admittedly some in rough areas can be a bit scary but that is not the fault of Wetherspoons. As i said on EU thread my literal only complaint is the constant Brexit talk in their pubs.

    Californian is England Bound, Needs Advice

    In a future visit can I highly recommend the North of England. Very different (Better ;) ) than London and the South. Enjoy your trip.

    Good viewing locations - Leeds

    There is a section of the Leeds Liverpool canal just past Kirkstall Morrisons with just a wall to the railway which is very good. But Hambleton is probably better for variety.

    Seeing Bittern pass through Darlington

    I would check it is even running.

    Seeing Bittern pass through Darlington

    Darlington or Doncaster? You mention both. I would say if Darlington that it will be taking the route not through darlington station!

    Getting on the wrong train

    At Leeds it is very easy to do in the PM peak. The Horsforth train particularly so it oftens moves around when i catch it to Burley Park. I have go on the wrong train from Sheffield to Chapeltown but everything stops at Meadowhall so it is not a problem. Fortunately the furthest you can get...

    WCML Closure?

    Then go to Carlisle, down to Leeds, Across to York, up To Edinburgh then you can get your diverted East Coast service. Which service is diverted?

    WCML Closure?

    No i thought you wanted a round trip in a day? If you want to avoid a bus to Crewe then i would suggest ECML to York and then to Manchester then to Crewe. If you want to go via Carlisle then you need to take the train to Leeds yes.

    WCML Closure?

    If you go down to Carlisle you could do the S&C to Leeds then up to York then get the ECML to Aberdeen, i am sure that would be possible? Having looked it is possible leaving Aberdeen at 7:03 arrive back at 20:48. No buses.
