This is my chance to get something of my chest, I travel on the laughably poor 7.35 East Midlands train from Sheffield to Manchester and catch the returning one at 4.42. Thats the bald facts for this shocking train service, now Sheffield and Manchester are if facts don't lie two of the biggest cities in England and many people might want to travel ...  Read the complete review

The good news is some of those miserable journeys can be experienced again on East Midlands Trains. The joy of a journey ...  Read the complete review

We joined an ageing Intercity 125 at St Pancras for the journey north in the early morning and found the train to be very clean and well presented despite just bringing commuters in for the ...  Read the complete review

Last weekend my family and I decided to take a trip in the east midlands trains to Nottingham.. Prices on these trains from Boston to Nottingham was only £6 return each which is so much cheaper and easier than driving and to be fair more relaxing knowing you don't have to worry about getting to your parking space and out of the car park ...  Read the complete review

The Connect service (ie the regional service) hasn't shown any great improvement since they took over half of the Central Trains franchise in November 2007. In fact, you could still think that you're travelling on Central Trains. A lot of the trains used on the Connect services have still yet to be repainted in the new livery, so on the ...  Read the complete review
