    [Trivia] Passenger Trains That Often Carry No Passengers For Entire Route

    Ah that explains the lack of stop at WBQ. I presumed as much in terms of the Cheshire Lines. Thanks for the info.

    [Trivia] Passenger Trains That Often Carry No Passengers For Entire Route

    The only time I've done this I was the only one on board. Ran fast to Stockport via Altrincham as a route learner but now runs via Warrington despite not actually stopping at Warrington! if anyone knows why let me know.

    Lumo to increase luggage space on board their trains?

    Ideas for alternative (non Scotrail/FGW) sleeper services?

    The only sleepers I would see in the UK having a viable market would be either Edinburgh / Glasgow to Paris / Amsterdam or London to Berlin/Geneva/Vienna etc. Someone doing a tour of western Europe could well viably do a London then Edinburgh then Paris type tour quite feasibly. We all know how...
