I travelled from Guide Bridge to Wigan on Saturday. Due to engineering work there was only one train per hour between Manchester and Wigan North Western, so some itineraries I was being offered included going via Warrington and using TFW and Avanti Would this have been valid with the normal...

I wasn’t entirely sure what forum to put this in as it’s a publication but not a railway one. Has anyone noticed how since the new editor took over it seems to have repositioned more towards the industry market rather than the enthusiasts end it used to be, presumably competing with the...

When this service first started I believe most journeys ran to Wigan Wallgate In recent years it seems the majority of journeys ran to Wigan North Western instead Now it looks like all journeys run to Wigan Wallgate again When did this change occur, was it the December 22 service change, and...

Does anyone think that The Original Tour will have lost market share since a) they rebranded to the ridiculous Toot Bus name and b) that they lost the use of the City Sightseeing brand? To me this operator was always seen as ‘the main one’ but due to these reasons I don’t think it is anymore...

The fast Edinburgh to Glasgow services don’t call at Edinburgh Park, so using a normal day return, would I need to change at somewhere like Polmont or are you allowed to double back and change at either Haymarket or Waverley?
