Nationalrail.co.uk is very informative!

March 18th, 2007

I’m sat on a train heading back up to Leeds after a weekend with Paul and Matt and have taken my usual route of getting a first class upgrade to enjoy the free wifi and coffee (and the separation from the London weekend touristy classes).

I normally like to keep tabs on National Rail as they normally have good train timing information that is actually taken from the live train position.

Today we were stuck for half an hour outside Peterborough station whilst we waited for “Police attendance” – on starting our journey again I went to check national rail to see our updated arrival time and was pleasantly surprised to see that not only had they taken our delay into account but were actually reporting the train had been delayed and for what reason!

This is what I love about the information age now that people have started sharing appropriate information freely, kudos to UK rail companies and National Rail (and to GNER for their onboard wifi!).
