The <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RailPlanner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RailPlanner</a> app signed the following <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LNER" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LNER</a> connection as not reservation-free, but when I wanted to make the reservation at <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RailEurope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RailEurope</a> they said it’s free (and thus wouldn’t sell). LNER‘s chatbot also stated that a reservation is not mandatory so I just entered the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/train" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#train</a> and found the best places you can get 😊

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayOoops, 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).<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/railways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#railways</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/LNER" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LNER</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workers</a> h/t FT

Tor Lillqvist<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/@HauntedOwlbear" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@HauntedOwlbear</a> At least for <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/LNER" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LNER</a> I found it trivial to reserve a seat online (for free) when travelling in the UK on <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Interrail</a> last years. Worked brilliantly. No problem getting a seat even for the same day at least for 1st class in April.

Tim HallOne thing I miss from the other place is the thriving UK rail and trains community. Does anyone know any good accounts to follow on here?
