    What is first class?

    Apologies if already covered - I did a search but didn't find an answer to my question. Is there a national standard as to what is first class, e.g. from the ORR? There seems to be a massive difference between operators these days. EMR and XC seems to be a "premium economy" offering with a bit...

    Gales today (10/12)

    I’m supposed to be travelling on the ECML to London from Yorkshire this afternoon. Listening to the wind I’m thinking it won’t be much good for the OLE. What’s the betting things turn out badly due to the wind?

    Disruption in Wakefield (Fitzwilliam) area (16/08)

    Anyone know (just idle curiosity) if the reported vehicle on the track is vandalism or an unfortunate "accident". Quotations as a traffic officer once told me there's no such thing as an accident!

    East Midlands 1st class query

    My wife is travelling back from St Pancras to Yorkshire later on a first class ticket. She has asked me to find out if there is a complimentary snack service at the weekend (like VTEC) - but either the EMT website is unclear or I am being dim as I can't work it out. I note they do make a point...

    1A40 ECML 8th Nov

    Anyone know what’s happened to the 16:15 Leeds to Kings Cross? Realtime trains suggests cancelled due to vandalism. National rail says ECML delays due to broken down train. VTEC website says nothing!

    Routing query 1D36 2330 Kings Cross to Leeds

    Can anyone explain why 1D36 from KGX to LDS gets routed via Pontefract and into Leeds on the midland line instead of more directly via WKF like all the other East Coast services? This seems to happen every night so can't be a temporary engineering issue. Thanks.

    OLE problem on ECML tonight (20/08/15)

    Does anyone have an idea of the likelihood of this problem betweeen Peterborough and Grantham not being fixed by morning? (I realise it depends on many factors but is there anyone "in the know" out there?) I am due to travel to KGX from West Yorks in the morning. Cheers

    What is this train 5Z40 through Woodlesford?

    Whilst waiting for a train this morning and looking on RealTime Trains I noticed that 5Z40 was due to pass Woodlesford on it's way from Neville Hill to Monk Bretton loop. According to RTT it then was due to sit there before making the return joiurney as 5Z41 about 3 hours later. Just curious -...

    Validity Code 2V

    Apologies if in the wrong place - but this seemed most appropriate. Can anyone shed any light on this code - 2V? My daughter told me she had bought an open return WKF to BRI but now says it's not valid at the weekend only Mon-Fri (return portion) as it has code 2V. It is clearly not an open...

    Somewhere outside Leeds station

    Apologies if the answer to this is elsewhere ... but on the approach into Leeds from the Midland line there is a triangular area down to the left closed off by a gate. There appears to be a fenced off section (which almost looks like a garden) within this area with a plaque or something in the...
