The LNER Pride train was at the next platform to us yesterday. Seeing it made my day!
Actually, so did several other things, it was a really good day, but this made an amazing start.

Choo choo LNER has teamed up with renowned culinary expert Dame Prue Leith to host the LNER Taste Station at Newcastle Central Station on October 4th and 5th 2024 https://www.air101.co.uk/2024/09/prue-leith-set-to-appear-at-newcastle.html #LNER #Trains #PrueLeith #snacks
Looking at travel options from Edinburgh to Londonshire in October. I’m told that a standard #LNER return is now £230.
Then I see notices on the LNER app that they’re currently experiencing severe delays across the network due to an incident.
I used to love shuttling up and down the UK by train. But pricing and reliability is has now ruled this as a method of travel for me.

@cstross Just booked two tickets to London for a funeral :( Train from Doncaster - KGX. All going well until redirected to Hull Trains to buy ticket. Lost patience and redid the whole thing through LNER in a quarter of the time I'd already wasted.

It's disgusting in 2024 we still have covert and overt ableism.
This is KCX! It isn't a tiny station in the middle of nowhere at 2 am.
I think group litigation is what is needed, otherwise, the likes of @LNER
will just continue to ignore the needs of disabled people.

F*cking appalling LNER. It's 2024.
I challenge your management to spend a day in a wheelchair.
Hope they get taken to court.
Sadly every wheelchair user will have similar stories, including in my own family.
The Guardian · Tanni Grey-Thompson says apologies not enough for having to ‘crawl off’ train
Ooops, when I hoped that the Govt's deal with ASLEF over pay would start to end the pain for rail passengers, looks like I spoke (typed) prematurely.... ASLEF drivers on LNER are about to (re) start strike action(s) over successive weekends in a long running (but separate) dispute.
Apologies, I thought there was light at the end of the tunnel, but that just turned out to be another train coming towards LNER passengers (but not one they can board, of course).
On the train. #LNER breakfast, #TPE #TranspennineExpress lunch. #TrainTravel

My #Eurostar was 1h late and I had an on #train to #Leeds. Actually this was the last "off-peak" one, had I booked the following one I'd have paid more than twice more.
For the first time I've been offered this form: "Hop on the next available train" #hotnat, which allowed me to board the peak-time train.
It's supposed to be only within #RailTeam alliance (inOui #TGV, #OBB #railjet, #ICE, #Lyria, #Thalys) so says form, but it was accepted by #LNER here in the #UK.

@sustainrelease When travelling with 1st Class #Interrail in Britain you could have all your meals in such long-distance trains where meals are complimentary in 1st class;) Especially #LNER has good catering. Sadly no railway company offers such in continental Europe as far as I know. (Except for breakfast in SJ trains, and many operators offer coffee/tea. Sometimes snacks. Not DB, though.)
