Northumberland Line update - Newsham due to open on the 17th March

LNER running extra trains for the EFL football Cup Final on the 16th March non stop between London and Newcastle

So there is the existence of the train "150150" that I went on last weekend... but I am just curious, is there any other trains that is the same number repeated after the other? I know there is palindrome trains, like 802208, but idk any others that is the same number one after the other?

Extra services this Saturday and Sunday between Doncaster and London King’s Cross using a Lumo train on a Hull train service

Hats off to Northern as they are running 4 car 158’s today on the Northumberland Line due to Newcastle United playing at home just been on the 16:48 from Newcastle and only about 15/20 seats spare

You know you’ve travelled to much with @LNER 1st class when the 1st class host recognises you and is able to hand over what you want without ordering, it seems I have the same host every time I travel

Where in London is good for train spotting?

Onwards travel from Carlisle with @northernassist onboard the 18:49 to Morpeth as far as Newcastle 158843 is my chariot

Just been on @AvantiWestCoast climate change train class 390121 from Birmingham New Street 15:07 to Carlisle, received great service and never travelled between Wolverhampton and Carlisle before, lovely scenery

Arrived into Birmingham safe and sound, due to the disruption on the west coast mainline this afternoon we’ve arrived into Birmingham 1 hour early, received great service from XC specially how busy the train was 16:40 from Newcastle

Had my 9 year old nephew round for tea, he asked for a full English breakfast for his dinner, now it’s time to pack my back ready for tomorrows night away in Birmingham for the camping and caravan show at the NEC, travelling by train 🚂, Newcastle to Carlisle

Tonight’s sleeper service from Penzance to London Paddington is formed as an IET 802003 specially converted for the service with really comfortable bed

Happy Valentines 💘 Day
