    London Kings Cross - Huntingdon- Saturday 05/08

    Hi all, Making the above journey this Saturday, and as neither this area nor ticketing are my strongest suits: Is the last train South really the 17:10 (1P51 - 1654 Peterborough - London KX)? Am I missing something here? What are the rules surrounding break of journey? Reason why is I with...

    Bucharest

    Hi all, I'm off to Bucharest in September for a few days. The general rail landscape over there looks pretty interesting (not the main purpose of the trip) and so I guess it would be rude not to. So could anyone with local knowledge or recent experience advise on the following... - How much...

    Eurostar voucher query

    A question that may or not warrant a separate thread (so apologies if it does): Last year my trip to Paris was cancelled due to the obvious and I was given a refund in the form of travel vouchers. As I am unlikely to use the vouchers in the expiry timescale (was hoping to go this summer...

    First class upgrade on Spirit of Scotland travelpass

    Morning all, After a little bit of advice / a second opinion as my current reading of the Scotrail website is contradictory... I will shortly be travelling around Scotland using a Spirit of Scotland Travelpass (on a priv, in case that has any relevance to my query, but I don't think it does)...

    Belgian recommendations (Brugge/Ghent/Brussels)

    Evening all, I'll be staying in Brugge shortly and spending some time in that part of Belgium, visiting Brussels and Ghent. What sort of stock can I expect on that line? Having had a brief look at wikipedia, looks like electric locos + push pull sets. Nothing too exciting but they look...

    'Historical' Real Time Trains (etc.)

    Hello, Now that I own the full Western Mainlines route (Penzance - Pad) I'm looking at creating some scenarios based on the 'good old days' ;) (100% long distance HST operation). Is there anyway of accessing real time trains for say a Saturday in August 2016 etc.? Basically it is stuff that I...

    FIP reservations in France

    Good afternoon, Another FIP query! FIP coupons are valid on all SNCF services in France, however certain trains are reservation compulsory. How does one purchase a reservation only for such a service? When looking at inoui sncf booking site (formerly voyages-sncf) on the section for people...

    Cologne rail-related items of interest

    Happy Christmas to all! My next trip is to Cologne/Frankfurt, with a little more time in the former. Does anyone know of any loco-hauled or other items of interest in the Cologne area? (I understand some RE (but not all) services are hauled). I'll be on FIP coupons so anything that is DB is...

    Berlin loco-hauled

    I'm off to Germany again in a couple of months time and will be visiting Berlin this time. I'm unlikely to spend a whole day bashing and so will be staying closer to Berlin city itself, unlike in previous German visits (Hamburg 2016, Munich 2017) but would be interested in knowing if there is...

    Poland local trains - Taryfa Małopolska

    Hello all, I'm off to Poland soon, staying in Krakow and looking to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau. Going by myself, I won't be joining a group tour and going by coach (unless rail is a real pain and someone here advises me it is!) doesn't appeal, so thinking of taking the train from Krakow Glowny...
