#uktrains — Public Fediverse posts

Sometimes, upgrading to First Class is such a no-brainer. Was £6.50 more per person per leg – Loughborough⇹London – and they bring you food and drink, and the seats are more comfy. Just the food and drink alone would cost more.

Does the train have to do that thing with its hands when it passes '*67*'? #trains #signalmap #uktrains

Croyez le ou pas, je suis quand même dans mon #Eurostar - certes en #retard de 45 min, mais je conserve toutes mes chances pour mon #TGV à suivre, direction #Grenoble 🌡️.

J'ai quand même demandé mon #HOTNAT pour ma collection.

Thanks to train control, who just held the 20 late 1030 Edinburgh-Kings Cross in a Peterborough loop, so that all of us on the 1100 could hold time. Not sure why they were late, they started losing time at Durham and then they started tripping over other trains' pathing. #UKTrains

This morning I was using the traksy website to follow what was going on with the trains shunting at Ayr, and I idly scrolled along until I found some good news about Glasgow Central. #Glasgow #UKTrains

could have saved myself half an hour of worry by checking my ticket south which is for the 1100 Edinburgh-Town and not the eight-minute-sprint-connection for the 1030 that I was fretting about. Well done, past me! #UKTrains

drive it like you stole it

0815 Ayr-Glasgow Central 🛤️

Few other trains about on a Sunday morning so I think they've given this one all the 25kV.

SIGNAL FAILS, SYSTEM STUTTERS

UK train signal failure today causes widespread delays and cancellations. See how it affects your journey and what happens next.

Train services across the UK are facing major delays today due to a central signal system failure. This is much worse than usual delays.

https://newsletter.tf/uk-train-signal-failure-causes-delays-today/

After a 1hr switchover, multiple delays and cancellations, some of which were planned, others we watched happen in real time. My train arrived.

It's 35C today, another record breaking heatwave for England, one of the many.

This train has no aircon. Fedizens, it is baking in here.
Home ETA 11PM

I want a shower.

The Conductor is checking tickets and just informed a lady she's going the wrong way, so it could be worse.

#uktrains

Finally arrived in London, after one of the worst train journeys I’ve had in years 😤☹️

Our train network *really* needs more investment.

Just put out my first indie iPhone app - for UK train commuters.
An app you can just open it and see the next fastest train home or to work, along with the platform number. Supports iPhone widgets and Apple Watch complications.
No clutter, no ticket upsells, or advertising. And it's fast!
I might be the only customer, but putting it out there in case it fills a gap for other people too.

If you're stuck with the Manchester Piccadilly #UKTrains madness this week, I definitely recommend Citymapper! Trainline and the official train apps all had way worse routes, and didn't even show the better Citymapper alternatives as an option. Better even when it makes you do routes like this 🥲

UK folks, is there a good app JUST for tracking a particular train journey that might include multiple changes?

I currently use the Trainline app for this. I like it for the journey tracker because it's great for showing when a train is running late, how long I'll have to change trains, if I'm going to miss a change, stuff like that.

However, I would like to ditch Trainline, because it's asking for my age to work out how much to charge me for tickets and I literally never use it to buy tickets!

Edit: Sorry for the misunderstanding - it's not just that I don't want to enter my age, but that's kind of a last-straw illustration that the app is not as suited to my needs as I'd like. So, just lying about my age HAS already occurred to me, and also I would like an app that focuses on journey tracking and not buying tickets.

I am on a #UKTrains and none of us know where it's going 😂😂😂 This should be fun. I have just determined that it is not, in fact, going miles out of the way to Bolton as I feared

Q: I have an off-peak return ticket with a long connection time. Can I leave the station (in search of a good coffee) and re-enter the ticket barriers?

I can't wait for them to improve the train line to Leefs (sic) from #Sheffield, 'cos getting to and from Leeds has been a right pain in the arse. "Leefs leafs the way" #uktrains

Nice new Class 701 trains on #southwesternrailway now on the Reading - Waterloo services.
Shame about the deafening squeaking noises from in/under the carriages when moving. Changed to a different carriage but it's only a little better. Still, just an hour with what sounds worse than chalk on a blackboard for accompaniment.

"The UK’s transport system is unjust. At the individual level, car use isn’t a choice for many, but the consequence of a system that renders them reliant on cars to function. This leaves millions in effective poverty because they have no choice but to own a car"
