Will the new Cardiff / Manchester services also have catering like the Holyhead Trains do at the moment?

Ok, thank you for the replies here. Looks like I will be changing out and back. Cheers. Steve.

Good morning, Are there any direct rail services between London and Shrewsbury, I know there used to be the great service that ran for a short time from Marylebone, but I thought that Avanti had bought in some direct trains, perhaps as extensions to the B'rum/Wolves or Chester services. ? I...

OK, Thanks.

Are all the EMR St. Pancras to Leeds no longer to run. I used those services a few times, they were sometime cheaper than LNER/East Coast, although the journey time was longer, it was fine if you were not in a hurry.

Do you mean like what I think used to happen and maybe still does at Paris Gare Du/De Lyon, where trains departed from one side of the station, but arrived at the other side, that would have involved a lot of shunting. Would be like the departures from London Victoria on the Kent side p1-8 and...

They are doing this again today, 20 Nov, must be another rugger match again.

Yes, it can be rather confusing sometimes.

I just checked, they seem to be doing Waterloo to Shepperton Via Richmond again this coming Saturday afternoon from about 2pm ish. Is there another Rugger event or similar happening?

Yes, I was going to ask about that. I took the 1216 from SHP to WAT & it went via Richmond (Semi Fast, so a better and slightly quicker journey than normal) and I came back on the 2112 which came via Kingston, usual all stations. By co incidence, all SHP to WAT trains today Sun 06 Nov are going...

Thank you, in fact I have stayed at that Premier Inn Near Interchange, it was fine, very good. Yes, Looking forwards to it. I always enjoy my trips to Yorkshire, Northumbria, Durham and Cumbria. I even have faces masks for some of these towns/cities and Counties. Just have to ensure I don't...

Yes that's what I thought, and it would be the train that I was hoping to use, a friend is joining me from South Wales and he won't get to London until noonish so the 1400ish would have been ok, oh well, I shall have to go on LNER via Leeds. 1621752818 Yes, that is the reason for the trip, we...

Good evening, does anyone know if Grand Central have reduced their service from KGX to Bradford, I may be going there for a holiday in July, I see there is a train around 1057 and another around 1600 ish, but I think there was one between these two around 1400 ihs, that does not seem to be on...

That has sort of answered a query that I was about to ask about London Bridge. I seem to be using this station more often now, sometimes with quite connections, am I right in assuming that platforms 1,2 3 are for services to / from Cannon Street, 4 & 5 for Thameslink north/south bound services...

Thank you for this, I am still planning a trip from London to Brum using the 68/loco hauled service, I shall wait until after 17 May and see how things are working out. (Can't wait to get on a proper train again.)

OK, thank you. Hopefully I will be able to use the direct LNER Services then. I had forgotten about all the works this year around KGX and further up the line too, (Around Peterborough?) I know there are works scheduled for May, June & July. Will this carry on into August, week days, I...

Good morning, I may be going to Lincolnshire in August, does anyone know if the direct trains by either East Midlands Trains or LNER, will be running by then.? (I Presume the LNER Services are the trains that used to run between LGX & Newark North Gate) Therefore are they likely to be shorter...

Shepperton services are mainly just one an hour for most of the day at the moment.

Thank you for that, it looks like I could then get the 11.10 from MYB, have about an hour in Brum, just enough time to get a sarnie and come back on the 13.55. 68 both ways.

Thank you for asking that question, I too, was thinking about having an awayday on the 68s from Marylebone to B'rum soon, but don't think it will happen for a while. Infact I could only see one of the above mentioned workings on the Chiltern Diagrams in this forum, the 1H22. I would...
