    It means a change of plan. One of the things you have to remember with RTT is to not take things literally. Not RTT fault, the BR/NR systems behind it, are the results of years of cobbling things together. It works, just - but it throws out some strange anomalies and terminology.

    Dead right about the creaky systems sitting behind RTT. Without digressing too far, and in the absence of any sensible advice at station level, last night I tried to use RTT to help get a family member home to Brighton from Havant. This was in the midst of Southern cancelling trains all over the place and adopting the usual trick of turning them around mid journey to pick up their original path. Two and a half hours for the 40 odd mile journey using two trains and back after midnight is some kind of record.

    There's a great one alongside the northern ring road near the junction that leads to Poppleton. Also, a Chinese and a Whitby Whaler alongside.

    Good Lord, that looks like the inside of "The Golden Egg" in slough in 1969.

    Didn't quote those as they are a bit out of town. Been a while since I visited the Bengal so can't give a currently valid comment but the Whaler and Maxi's are both excellent.

    Did any info surface as to why the Wetherby Whaler (formerly the Christmas White Rose) got cancelled at Ely?

    Yes, there's an explanation earlier. Admin thing, pax got home earlier by service train while loco took water. Train then ran ECS to Cambridge pretty much back on time.

    Yes I'd read that but thanks anyway, often difficult to spot with so much off-topic stuff in these threads.

    I can't see all of the passengers volunteering to de-train from a steam excursion, especially those in first class, and leap onto a what must have been a horribly crowded service train when the steam special got home on time anyway?

    Can't really understand...we were told that passengers joined a service train so that Duchess could get water at Ely. She had been running from Newark since refreshment and yet RTT shows none taken at ELY> Why would passengers have been told to change if right time arrival at Cambridge on the cards ?? Doesn't make sense. Anyone from on board or whatever to clarify ???? ww.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U50545/2015/12/17/advanced
