It is one of those "buried" ones I think, shows Sharnbrook to Bedford North as around 30 minutes

Anybody know what happened with the St. Albans Inverness trip today? It was holding up the GB from reports on that thread and has now according to RTT made up 200 minutes in the 42 mile between Dalgetty Bay and Stanley. Did they fix the set, send...

Not at all as planned I had a ride in the Hawksworth Saloon back from Norden this afternoon. A very impressive coach, with a nice smooth ride I felt. Having since Wednesday lunchtime been doing very little in the hope I might have felt well...

Courtesy of Railcam the final leg departs York 15 late which appeared to be due to a late running XC (who else!). The GB was passed by the Midland Pullman HST heading South which appears to have not got further than York on a St. Albans to...

A good day out in London on March 14th. Just a shame that the route had to be truncated after midday due to a protest in Central London. The only shot I managed to get of RM1. [img]2026-03-14 RM1 ESSEX ROAD 839 by KING COBRA 92, on Flickr...

It is but even if Northern were not there the only benefit would be more trains there during the day. The main flow will always be to the coast in the morning and back mid to late afternoon. Many other lines have a similar issue even if they do...

I also feel from our visits that most of the accommodation is at the Pickering end, and as apparently trains from their to Whitby are full presumably that reflects it. The railway will know how many tickets it sells from Whitby to Goathland, but...

Gladiator 5076 liked Daddsie71b's post in the thread Swanage Railway General Discussion.
As the inspection saloon has no corridor connection, it is very much an entirety of it's own. Nice to have for exclusive use (see Celia on the Belmond Pullman) but part of the catering set up, one wonders on the additional logistics and staff to...
