    Can someone enlighten me on Tuesday / Thursdays Polar Express runs please?
    The VT website allows booking for a 1200 service, although the timetable tab says the services don't start till 1400. But on RTT the runs for the 1200 service (apparently leaving at 1154) are 'Run as required', is this just a RTT glitch? Or does this 1200 run not exist?

    There is a 12am which runs as required and will be activated on the day . Normal operation is four round trips but if demand requires and also accomodating the strike days and moving trains around a fifth trip can be added . I think it ran yesterday but isn't activated for today

    Thank you for that. The website wasn't advertising a 1200 run for today, so its not surprising it wasn't activated today.

    My take on todays runs. Not as many shots as I planned as I was delayed by a points failure at New Street! None the less brilliant to see 7029 again:
