And there was me thinking a subject regarding a train into a mainline
central LONDON station. Involving travelling to LONDON. Involving a
train company that runs trains into LONDON would be approaite for a
London Transport newsgroup

From the charter of utl:

Your post was off-topic as it did not concern transport *in the London
area*.
FU set.

Well, as you said:

"And they stood all the way to London which took longer than 2
and half hours suppose to as we stopped at every station."

Then this is a record breaking piece of track bashing. About a dozen of
those stations (between, say, Hatfield and KX) can be regarded as "in
London".

I hope the people standing get more than a poultry 25% refund for the
train being more than 50mins late.
Even though it takes longer Im trying for Midland Mainline next time.

You calling GNER a Turkey then?!

Perhaps someone in the know could answer this - given a blockage
between Doncaster and York why couldn't GNER simply route trains
around the problem by going Doncaster-Leeds-York and vice versa?

Most of GNER's trains are electric (IC225s and E*), with only a
handful of diseasels, which are needed to work the North of Scotland
services. There is no electrification between Leeds and York, other
than going via Doncaster - but that route was closed...

You're a bit fickle aren't you? One bad experience with a company and
you declare you'll never use them again. What do you do if your car
breaks down, sell it instantly to the scrap merchants?

Well as the incident didn't happen in London and most people with a better
railway knowledge of the area might just happen to be on uk.railway

So what exactly are trains out of Kings Cross if they aren't transport
in the London area?

If it had just been a delay then fair enough. If it had been an hour
journey then fair enough. But stuffing that number of people into a
train for such a long journey is not on.

Transport out of the London area.
