Anyone taking late services today, December 24?

Anyone travelling at the last minute to a final destination for Christmas?

How busy is/was your train?

Anyone cutting it to the wire and taking THE last service to a destination until 27th?

We are on the final train from Aberdeen and Scotland to York until the 27th. There was never any danger of not catching this train for us as we went up to Aberdeen this morning on it for a final HST bash of 2011.

We were in quiet standard coach B this morning and it was a very quiet train to Edinburgh then got busier. For once on a Saturday the quiet coach for the whole journey was just that.

In First Class on way back to York (before we drive back home to Bolton), only 2 other people in coach L now and you can here a pin drop. Sadly we had two college types from Stonehaven to Berwick who were a bit louder than you want in First, but not to the point of telling them to button it

*As an update it is so weird seeing stations with hardly anyone on them at this time on a Saturday. There must have been about 10 people got on at Newcastle and the same at Durham and now Darlington.

Took £101 on a 4-hour shift NWP-SHR-NWP today, so plenty of takers for a cuppa tea...

Is the 03:57 from Swansea to Paddington running on Tuesday or not?

Looking at LDB the Gatwick Express seem to be running a 30 min service today as well.

Isn't tuesday a bank holiday though? I thought FGW ran a saturday timetable on bank holidays meaning that the 03:57 service will depart cardiff at 04:55 and runa via Bristol TM

 

[ValleyLines142]

Maybe so yeah but as I say the 0435 departs from Cardiff first.

Yeah but it has run in the past on Bank Holidays.

 

[sonic2009]

But I would say It's not your average normal bank holiday!
