On Friday the 1700 Kings Cross to Edinburgh was cancelled and it was announced at Kings Cross that this service would start at Newcastle. In its place was a 1700 Kings Cross to Darlington service calling at most intermediate stations as the 1630 had also been cancelled.

Got through from Stevenage to Skipton earlier - the Aire was close to the top of the banks at Kirkstall when I passed on the 12:26 from Leeds. I had intended to spend a few hours in York en route but due to the weather and my suspicion that Kirkstall would get blocked later I changed plans and...

Couldn’t the services calling at Stevenage switch to the slow line at Hitchin to avoid this potential problem?

ECML services currently have long delays at Stevenage due to overhead wire problems. https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/stevenage-20230920/

I’m intending to travel on Saturday 8th using Thameslink/Great Northern and SWR. Would I be better to go on Friday 7th instead? Some Saturdays have had little service on the GN route when there have been previous overtime bans.

thanks I had a similar message at Cambridge a couple of weeks ago saying that the doors would not open at this station. The diagram also incorrectly said I was in the 2nd of 12 coaches. It was an 8 coach train! The carriage diagrams are also often back to front saying I am near the front of...

Overhead wire problems so all lines are currently blocked between Hitchin and Royston. Northbound Peterborough trains are not able to call at Hitchin.

It is currently snowing in North Herts which may have an impact on when the line can be reopened and also affect the Availability of any replacement buses tomorrow morning.

I used the Pullman lunch service from Newport to Paddington in August. The dining service did not appear on the train information on the station screens. As it was a 10 coach train I asked the Newport station Staff which portion would have the dining coach and they denied it existed and there...

The Bottom shelf of the luggage racks on the Azumas is not quite high enough for a normal wheeled suitcase to go underneath without having to stop and turn it 90 degrees so it goes in sideways. The slight extra time taken to do this holds everyone else up when boarding/alighting. The case fits...

I was on the 0654 Cambridge to Brighton service this morning (12 coaches) The train loading indicator was showing yellow (standing room only) for several coaches after leaving Letchworth. After Stevenage about 6 coaches were showing orange (“carriage full”). The rest were yellow. Not seen a TL...

I see 17:39 and 18:39 Kings Cross to Cambridge services are showing in the journey planners today, both calling at Letchworth and Royston. There is also a 21:09 Kings Cross to Ely. 08:09 Cambridge to Kings Cross ran this morning.

The Thameslink app now mentions the issue is due to ground conditions under the track following the hot dry weather. The Fast trains are all cancelled again in the journey planners for tomorrow.

That is what the journey planners are showing for Monday. They are showing the 0609 Cambridge to Kings Cross running (that one starts from Cambridge) but the journey planners are showing that all other fasts do not run south of Cambridge all day.

The journey planners are now showing the Kings Lynn services only running between Kings Lynn and Cambridge all day tomorrow. So no fast services between Cambridge and Kings Cross. Some of the morning peak Cambridge to Brighton services have been cancelled recently due to either lack of driver...

Did my first trip on Elizabeth Line yesterday transferring from an GWR service at Paddington to a Cambridge train at Farringdon. (I was going to use underground to Kings Cross but saw the fast GN Ely train was cancelled so went on EL to Farringdon for TL service instead). As I had luggage I...

How busy is the Pullman dining coach for the 12:23 Swansea to Paddington service? I would be boarding at Newport but can board at Cardiff if it increases my chances of getting a seat for dining. I Will have a standard class ticket so can’t reserve the dining seat in advance. Thanks

Also National Rail site reports that the line is blocked in the core due to a power failure between St Pancras And Blackfriars. https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/today.aspx

Does anyone know when the tickets for Friday 26th August will be available again? I am wanting to book to Church Stretton. It is an off peak return Letchworth to Church Stretton. I usually get the 0907 from Euston and change at Crewe. Or 0846 LNWR to Crewe. Alternative options seem to be going...
