When will 24 plates enter service with National Express, including the Van Hools? I am hoping to ride the van Hools, as soon as they enter service on 040 and 540.

Is this service single decker or double decker operated? I’ll use this service when next up in Scotland.

When will the Network Rail electronic sectional appendix pdf for West Coast Mainline, show the new speed profile for the 805’s and Multiple Units?.

Will the Van Hools be diagrammed to operate the 540 and 040 services at particular times, or will they turn up on these services at any time? I'd like ride these in the next few weeks, but don’t really want to end up on a Caetano Levante.

One of the worst rides ive known is a 379 Great Northern service between Kings Lynn and Cambridge, very lively ride,bouncing around,more fun to me than scary. In 80’s and 90’s when drivers pushed harder, I have had some very lively runs with the 225’s when they were speeding, and hammering it...

I have done many thousand of miles on the 390 Pendolino’s, since their introduction, and have never personally had a problem with their ride, they to me are pretty smooth riding, due to the tillt damping the ride. The change in horizon can be nausea inducing to some people, but most people...

On Thursday 22nd Feb, I did the 06.40 916 Glasgow-Uig and 14.40 Uig-Glasgow for a very scenic day out, as part of a 3 day Scottish Citylink explorer pass, which turned out to be more interesting than expected, so I’ll do report on it all. The day started good with West Coast Motors YT23 HYH...

I think 4hr 04 mins Kings Cross-Edinburg and V V, with York and Newcastle stops will be tight, and hard achieve day in and day out, as the 3hr 59 mins London-Edinburgh Scottish Pullmans, struggled to achieve this regularly, even with 130mph plus on the 225 sets, as they had the legendary, no...

I did Delay repay for Avanti West Coast Euston-Glasgow return journey, think was about £114.00. The outward train was cancelled 07.30 Euston-Glasgow, so caught the 08.22, arrived over hour late, so got £70.00 delay repay, within a week, and didn’t affect day out too much, so meant only cost...

I’m planning day out on WCML to Glasgow Central soon, and be interested to know what the new line speeds are, after the remodelling?.

Peter Mugridge, so there are possibly no un reservable seats on a Lumo train then? So if turn up on day and wish use Lumo train, which sold out then I physically may not be able to get a seat?

I am possibly travelling on the 10.53 Edinburgh to Kings Cross on Sun 30th July, and it’s sold out, so are there any unreservable seats still on Lumo trains? And can I join the said train with an Off-Peak Single Edinburgh to Kings Cross, or will Lumo staff deny boarding if not holding reservation?

as reiterated elsewhere on this thread,you can collect Day Save ticket on the day, long as booked at least 3 days before. I have done this myself both times bought this rover.

I stayed awake all day, then slept on coach back for about 2.5 hours from Heathrow stop to Taunton Deane services, and as drive all week as my job, I don’t want to do more driving than need to at weekend etc, so just accept car parking price as part of the trip, and Costa is quite expensive, but...

I have just done another one of my wandering’s, this time to the North West, on Saturday 4th March, so heres the report etc: Sat 4th March I had been to work on Friday and got back home about 4.30pm, then had couple hours nap before, before leaving home about 11.30pm for usual 40 mins drive to...

Just one unit out today(Sat4th March), 197015 doing the Liverpool to Chester shuttles, was my first ride on 197, found to be nice units and ride ok, though thing which stood out for me was the seat Moquette which is same as Greater Anglia 745 and 755 Flirts, so any reason why same Moquette as...

I’m looking to do my first 197 ride this Saturday 4th March, on Man Air-North Wales services, which due to engineering works are running only to Rhyl, So if there are still 197’s Rhyl-Man Air, which diagrams are they likely to be on?.

I am looking to travel around Liverpool and Manchester, and maybe North Wales This Saturday, and want to stick to 195’s-196’s-777’s etc, as not a fan of old units really. So would be handy to know which routes have which units at the moment?. Thanks for any info and diagrams.

I had a very enjoyable day out on the Saturday trains, taking the 09.52 Liverpool Street -Peterborough and 18.36 Peterborough-Liverpool Street, was really good to be loco hauled, and have the comfort of Mk2 First Class, which not been on for a long time, and the atmosphere was really good, and...

Wilts Wanderer, I think 1hr 33 mins Kings Cross-York, would be pretty much impossible, as even the record Kings Cross-Edinburgh non stop run, with special 140mph dispensation and a shortened 5 car 225 set, achieved Kings Cross-York in about 92-93 mins. I would say with 135-140mph running and a...
