RRBs are running from Alexandria Palace as part of planned engineering work so there are ways of getting to Welwyn. The 23:09 is booked via Hertford today as the ECML is shut this evening so not much use for getting to Welwyn. Doesn't excuse how it took GTR nearly an hour to realise their...

Interestingly on Tiger where a service is worked by 379's the only coach advertised as having first class is the one closest to London (see screenshot below). Might there be a change of policy over first class declassification coming soon? It could also be that GTR haven't finished uploading...

17:42 could not be on platform 9 as it was a 12 coach train which doesn't fit in that platform. It is showing as having left one minute early from platform 0 but that is within margin of error due to the way in which timings are reported and calculated. Darwin advertised platform 0 so it should...

A youtuber, Simply Railway, is starting their own european night train company. According to them they already have coaches "reserved" for this and their photo renders show a very heavy refurbishment which no doubt won't be cheap and that's if they even find the capital for it. Very ambitious...

Class 700/1.

GTR seems to have forgotten to mention that they have cancelled a lot of the Brighton - Cambridge services as well...

PKP S.A. (owning group who manage stations) and PKP PLK (infrastructure manager) have said these signs will not be installed in publicly accessible areas. Some operators have put up the signs at their depots though, and it is known for third party security staff to sometimes get aggressive with...

Northern has leased 2 additional class 769 units until the end of the year. https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021961-2025

Separate CRS codes for the same station are nothing new. For example in some data feeds the CRS code for the Elizabeth line platforms at Paddington is "PDX". Public facing systems will probably be updated closer to time of opening to group the separate TIPLOCs under one CRS code. CRS codes are...

The message appeared on the national rail bulletin feed, attached to those specific services.

Some weekday Southern and Gatwick Express services are being advertised as short-formed to 4 coaches vice 8 until further notice "while we work to introduce more trains in June 2025". These are: [SN] 1J92 Bognor Regis to London Bridge [GX] 1W20 London Victoria to Brighton [GX] 1W49 Brighton to...

No. KMŁ is not part of FIP but POLREGIO is and most tickets for the latter are accepted on KMŁ depending on the route.

Interrail/Eurail are now valid on KMŁ regardless of the ticket acceptance in place. There is a list of what ticket types are accepted by both operators here (in Polish). The only exception is during disruption, in which case all passengers are conveyed regardless of ticket held. (to clarify -...

There is ticket acceptance between KMŁ and POLREGIO on routes served by both operators. Tickets valid on POLREGIO services with either a statutory discount or a 50% discount are valid on KMŁ (to my understanding). This does not apply between Kraków Olszanica and Kraków Lotnisko (Kraków Airport).

PKP Intercity does not confirm schedules until 60 days prior to departure for international services (30 days for domestic services).
