East Midland Trains Reviews

I needed to change the day of travel from 7/03 to 9/03. A silly mistake i realised after i had paid. I had bought a return ticket for £31 including plus bus. On their website they charge £10 per ticket change. When i called on 0871 number they asked me to call an 0845 number who then asked me to call 0870 number. I used my mobile because ...  Read the complete review

Living in Sheffield our train station is served by East Midlands trains for going down to London. We usually make this trip 2 or 3 times a year, usually for football but recently we travelled to Heathrow and took the train and I went on a day trip to see a show. The reason I've stated my reasons for going is because you definitely ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

We had booked online with the maximum notice we could which is three months through the trainline.com via topcashback for a start, that coupled with using our family railcard meant that the journey (as a return) for the 3 of us was £85, as we ...  Read the complete review

Britain has two (relatively) high speed mainline railways that run from London up the east and west coasts of the country. In between these two is the under-appreciated, under-resourced and frequently overlooked Midland Main Line (not to be confused with the former train operator of the same name), the railway that connects the cities of ...  Read the complete review

I regularly use East midlands trains. In the bad and terrible black days when Midland Mainline had lost their way we suffered from cold trains with no hot water, no tea, no coffee and delays. The good news is some of those miserable journeys can be experienced again on East Midlands Trains. The joy of a ...  Read the complete review

My partner and I travelled from St Pancras International to Manchester Oxford Road (via Sheffield) recently for an overnight stay in Manchester. 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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review
