I will be travelling to Oxenholme on Friday which coincides with the Avanti strike day. Fortunately I had already decided before the strikes were announced to book LNER from Stevenage to Leeds instead of going via Euston. One query I have is how busy are the TPE services likely to be to...

the email just says the reservations were cancelled due to a change in the timetable. It is the GTR connections from Stevenage that are not running so it won’t provide any alternative journeys for that day. As it happens the current price to Stevenage for the earlier departure from York is the...

A taxi would be the fall back option, though I find on occasions when there are no trains running taxis in Stevenage and Hitchin area tend to be in short supply after 6pm once the buses have finished. So it would have to be prebooked. Anyway I received an email from LNER today informing me that...

I have an advance ticket booked on Monday 8 April on the 18:02 from York to Letchworth, changing at Stevenage. Unfortunately GN/Thameslink are now on strike that day so I would not be able to get a train from Stevenage to Letchworth. The last 55 bus to Letchworth leaves Stevenage at 18:45 & this...

I booked a 1st off peak return earlier this week via the forum site for travel today St Pancras to Sheffield. The tickets were split at Leicester and Derby. For the return journey for some reason the seats booked were different. Sheffield to Leicester was in coach D and Leicester to st Pancras...

Can anyone report how reliably the replacement buses were running last weekend from Luton Airport Parkway to Hitchin, particularly on the Saturday evening? I will be travelling from Leamington Spa to Letchworth on Saturday evening so the default journey planner involves 2 buses from Luton...

Warren Street to Great Portland Street or Euston Square.

There are no London services from Cambridge due to Cambridge South construction works so there are also buses from Cambridge to Audley End that day.

The ECML is closed south of St Neots for engineering works on 3rd December so there is a bus replacement from St Neots to Cockfosters for Piccadilly line into London. Thameslink are also on strike that day so the usual replacement from St Neots to Bedford won’t be available So EMR from Sheffield...

Thanks

Does anyone know any places offering a left luggage service in Harrogate which is walkable from the station? I plan to visit for a few hours on my way back from a weekend away whilst I go to RHS Harlow Carr before getting the train home. I could use the facilities at Leeds station if necessary...

Thank you both for your suggestions.

I will be travelling from Windermere to Hertfordshire on Saturday 22nd October. I am looking at the route options bearing in mind that Avanti haven’t confirmed their times yet but I think they are diverting via Aston. I would have travelled out via Bentham so would refer a different way back...

On Friday, the first GN service from Letchworth, Hitchin and Stevenage was the 07:35 stopper, starting at Letchworth. Formed of 8 coaches, Class 387. The section I was in all seats taken after Stevenage. Delays in boarding at Welwyn Garden City and hatfield - train very full by then. 17:05...

Could you either travel to Edinburgh the night before and stay there, or go from York to Preston and get the sleeper to Inverness ?

We did a linear last year from Cark via Cartmell village (visited the Sticky toffee pudding shop!) and over Hampsfell into Grange over Sands. Though not on the coast line itself, we did a couple of walks from the Ravenglass & Eskdale railway a few years ago. One involved alighting at one of the...

I usually walk via Cornwall Road, cut past the ITV studios then along the river path. Normally takes about 15 minutes. Though the river path gets much busier in the afternoons. One of our offices was near Waterloo until recently and this was the route I would walk from Blackfriars around...

Our walking group has done Huntingdon along the river Ouse to St Neots (15 miles) Train to Seaford, walk via Cuckmere haven and Seven Sisters to Eastbourne (15 miles) then train home. Burley in Wharfedale or Menston up over edge of ilkley Moor via cow and calf into Ilkley. Weeton - RHS Harlow...

On longer journeys being able to see out of a whole window in 1st compared to a small section of window next to a pillar in standard class. also if boarding at an intermediate station, the increased likelihood of finding space in 1st in the racks to store a large suitcase.

I used the 16:54 kings cross to Baldock 365 service this evening. I boarded about 10 minutes before departure. There were a few passengers towards the rear of the train (presumably mainly those alighting at Welwyn North). I was on the front coach - there was only 1 other passenger in that...
