Amazing scenary, nice comfortable journey, amazing food (comparable to food on the best cruise liners), lovely little towns to stop off at enroute, lovely friendly staff, a good bunch of fellow passengers. An all round amazing journey. In comparison Emeryville to Chicago...

    That explains it. Never realised you had come from London originally. Hope you enjoyed the wait!!!

    Well the delay was all in a good cause!!! :lol: Why have 2 locos when you can have 3! 40mins seems quite small. You must have been quite a way behind us. So not sure why they didnt get you onto the fast lines.

    How long after did you head through? You cant cross over onto the fast lines between the tunnels and station can you? Must have been after we left. Was funny watching all the pendys walking through Berkhamstead at snails pace, Desiros holding up the fast lines!!!

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    That doesnt surprise me. It used to be a near constant supply of tea, coffee and biscuits, Friendly staff, and pleasant surroundings. Now the majority of services sound like 2 sandwiches and a G&T! I cant believe there are no evening southbound services offering the evening meal. Its...

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    Doesnt the 1600 change to the evening meal offering later on into the journey? Isnt that what Virgin do? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Going off topic, but yes you can compare voyagers to HSTs, because they were brought in to replace HSTs. Also, its no good saying Virgin do...

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    Having read through a lot of the comments post 22/5, it does seem rather dissapointing. The build up to it offered so much. Hot meals available throughout the day (unfortunately quite often not available during the day), delicious evening meals (by the sounds of it they are anything but...
