Agreed on all this, but just to add that they seem to have included a ridiculous amount of money for airport transfers (to/from city centre). £191 in transfers from London to Glasgow?!!! Even in taxis I'm not sure how they've come to such a high amount.

AFAIK you should be able to use it everywhere on Avanti. For Eurostar you can use it in Standard Premier for 35 euros, but not in Business Premier (which is the same, but with fast track security, a lounge and a bigger meal)

About 3 weeks ago I went on a journey from Southampton to Lisbon & Porto by train. This was my first time abroad on individual tickets (rather than an Interrail) I set off at 13:00 on 20th March on an advance ticket from Southampton to Waterloo (£6.05). The platform seemed very busy but I got...

Thank you for help everyone. I've made the following changes: Added the new french summer ticket Changed the wording for NS season tickets (thank you to @DanielB and @dutchflyer) Added the weekend ticket to for Polregio (thank you to @dutchflyer) Formatting changes I'll wait until closer to...

I got an answer back from PKP IC, who said: I'll check again in a few weeks to see if it appears on their journey planner. I've booked a bus just in case.

I am planning on travelling on this daily train from Mockava to Warsaw on 28th May, but it's not appearing in journey planners at all that week (it is for the week before or week after). Does anyone have any further information about if (and why) it is or isn't running? I can't find anything...

Yes, it looks like it's just about tickets going on sale. This is a new low even for that type of news website. Rail Advent says: https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2024/04/london-north-eastern-railway-launches-sale-of-summer-tickets-for-2024.html

I went a couple of weeks ago and the unit I went on had IET seats (Fainsa Sophia I think?)

Most, if not all, trains from Hamburg in the Lübeck direction (inc. Ahrensburg, Bartgeheide) are loco hauled, likewise all Metronom trains from Hamburg Hbf. There's one Metronom train every hour which is diesel hauled, from Hamburg-Harburg (or Hbf, can't remember) to Cuxhaven. A few locos are...

Normally they have a framework contractor for each region, e.g. for small remedial works. NR might have a project engineer but most of the work is done by the contractor and their chosen consultant

The sleeper has 45 mins scheduled stop in Toulouse so unless there is something seriously wrong on the line through the Pyranees it'll be fine. The guards on the R3 take card and cash payment.

There was 2tph doing that in the original HS2 plans. Even with only Handsacre, you'd save loads of time either via Stafford/Stoke, Crewe or Colwich/Stoke.

I would say most of the Bristol-Manchester trains I've been on were via Camp Hill

Is Marylebone a possibility for north Cotswold trains?

There's a lot of talk about increasing the number of beds, but not much about reducing the number of locomotives used. If I was tasked with making the sleeper profitable, I would: Buy some ex-TPE DVTs, and use these to drive the empty train into Euston, therefore saving a locomotive and adding...
