Fares trial @LNER ended in Feb 2026. It was unpopular with passengers, less flexible and more expensive. Why haven’t normal fares returned? @seatsixtyone @DavidHorne

@ukrailadventure Great choice, Austin. Love a Class 91 Electra 🚂
English
We've relaxed the no opening the box until we get home rule for a quick peak at his new purchase. He just keeps repeating 'cor look at that!' to himself 😊 he's been after one of these for around half his life & judging by the look on his face, I'd say it was worth every second!

@SteveWhiteRail @Captain_Deltic @greateranglia Steve is right. Greater Anglia are wrong. Connection should have been held. Passengers delayed by an hour because GA prioritise punctuality over customer service.
English
@greateranglia why didn’t you hold the Sudbury train at Marks Tey for the booked connection off the 18.02 from Liverpool Street?
English
@ukrailadventure Keep up the train spotting, Austin. More adventures to come 👍
English
3 months ago, Austin told me that he wanted a break from adventures. I didn't know why at the time but it turns out it was because someone had made fun of him for being into trains. This broke me tbh 💔 but after lots of deep chats, he's over it & going to ignore them. So.... 1/2

The clock is ticking on the West Coast Main Line’s looming capacity crisis.

@LNER ripping off passengers AGAIN. It’s not Simpler Fares, it’s MORE EXPENSIVE fares.

A bonus blog for Friday… Less choice for passengers. More expensive rail fares. Welcome to the next phase of LNER’s “Simpler Fares pilot”. #more-78736" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">busandtrainuser.com/2025/08/15/lne…

Snap! 15:31 to Paris. Enjoy your trip to Milan, Mark.
The Man in Seat 61@seatsixtyone
My 1st attempt to ride the Paris-Milan Frecciarossa was cancelled at 48h notice when the French abruptly closed the UK/France border due to Covid; 2nd attempt cancelled when half a mountainside collapsed onto the line 2 weeks before; 3rd time lucky? 🫣
English
@AlexHynes Disingenuous. Your pic is 19:58 on a Thursday night. Hardly a busy time. It’s when there are delays and cancellations (rush hour and weekends) that it gets packed. Oh and please sort out the tube entrance!
English
Well done to the team working hard on improving London Euston station for passengers. A few small changes seem to be making a big difference.
English
I can’t see a regional route with no major population centres being financially sustainable. Happy to be proved wrong.
Today's Railways UK@TodaysRailways
New service: @railandroad has today approved the planned new Go-op train service between Swindon, Westbury, Taunton and Weston-super-Mare. Go-op plans to start operating in December 2025 at the earliest.

So to recap…
Bus fare cap ⬆️ 50%
Rail fares ⬆️ 4.6%
Rail cards ⬆️ by £5
Fuel duty… still frozen.
Gov talks of delivering on the environment yet undermines itself by failing to adequately tax our most polluting forms of transport & support the most sustainable. #Budget2024

Not sure why @greensignallers @Modern_Railways aren’t following up on this story. You share the view that @LNER Simpler Fares is a con, so here’s some extensive fares evidence to put to @DavidHorne
OntheTrains@OntheTrains
And to finish the month’s fares investigation, Day 31 off-peak average on @LNER is £180.42, a whopping 107% above the old £87 fare. Yes more than double! Higher (not Simpler) Fares.
English
To summarise, I have shown definitively over a month that @LNER are ripping off passengers, using surge pricing via advance tickets. The old £87 Saver was withdrawn on 5th Feb, with @LNER wrongly claiming Simpler Fares. @DavidHorne has not responded to any of this.
