Hello all, I'll be making this journey by train in early summer as part of a longer railtrip from England to Georgia / Armenia (aware of the Turkey - Georgia border gap in the railway!) and had a couple of questions. I'm undecided between taking the day train, or one of the overnight trains...

Hello all, looking for inspiration... I have 10th - 16th April off work and would like to get down south again, but this time to somewhere new. I'm based in Birmingham and have been to pretty much all the major cities south of here already (bar Colchester and Winchester but they're in the...

I have an Interrail ticket & reservations for the 16:17 New St - Euston and 20:01 St Pancras - Paris on Friday 16th December. These were purchased before strike action was announced. Eurostar seem fairly confident they’ll be running “most trains”, but what of the BHM-EUS leg? Previous strike...

Just thought I’d post a reminder here (as I nearly forgot!) If you have Eurostar vouchers for a cancelled trip last year (or even this year), check the expiry date - most will be expiring on 30/12/21 but some will of course be valid for longer. I found that my vouchers had an 8-digit numeric...

As part of a longer journey on Sunday 3rd October, I ended up rather delayed between Lichfield and Birmingham. I put in for Delay Repay with WMR the same evening and tonight (the 6th, just 3 days later!) I have received a rail travel voucher as requested, for the correct amount, with an RTV...

...are now routed either “Avanti” or “via York” for Anytime/Off Peak tickets. BRFares This precludes passengers using Transpennine Express or other operators - journey planners offer plenty of itineraries using TPE via Carlisle, for example Thu 5th Aug: 0810 EUS - CAR 1150, 1207 CAR - EDB...

I can’t see another thread on this, so here goes... WMT appear to have introduced a new ticket type called “Anytime Advance”. It must be booked before the day of travel but can be used on any WMT service on the date selected. National Rail Enquiries has this to say... London to Liverpool is...

I need to make a journey from Erdington to Manchester Piccadilly on Saturday: 1048 ERD - LTV 1114 1122 LTV - CRE 1151 1211 CRE - MAN 1246 (1h 58m) (CRE = Crewe, LTV = Lichfield Trent Valley) however travel via Lichfield is apparently not permitted, with journey planners (I tried XC and NRE)...

The Virgin TVMs at Manchester Piccadilly do not offer the ‘Via Macclesfield’ (equivalent to Any Permitted) fares between Stockport and Stoke on Trent, and I suspect that they won’t offer them from Manchester to Stoke either. The only options are Virgin only or Northern only. Is this allowed?

Hi all, I'm booked on Train 98 from Niagara Falls to Union Station (17:45 -> 19:41) on July 5th. I had a search online but couldn't find anything recent regarding punctuality. How likely is it that this service will run (on time)? There's a Rivers of Nihil gig over in Etobicoke that evening...

From BBC If only 26 of 550 journeys were more than 15 minutes late, I can’t see how the service can be said to have been performed without reasonable care and/or skill?

Several dozen “protestors” have marched through Manchester Piccadilly concourse onto the tracks and all services are suspended. A large number of police units in attendance.

I’m contemplating a trip to Greece sometime in June; outwards by rail, and flying back, or vice versa. Is it still possible to reach Athens by rail from the north? Eg from Budapest/Vienna/Munich. (Yes, I know it’ll take ages :lol:) Last I heard was that Greek Railways had cut back services due...

There appears to have been a serious incident in the East Didsbury/Heald Green (between Manchester Piccadilly and the Airport) area, with 1U86 cancelled throughout. 2K43 hasn’t reported since Gatley at 2347 and 2H48 appears to be stopped at East Didsbury. I used to live in this area; a fairly...

Sounds like a tragedy may have just happened. More details to follow BBC states that there have, sadly, been fatalities

Hi all Can anybody recommend a good route to Wizna, for a theoretical weekend mid/late November? I'd have free a Friday evening - Sunday evening, or at a push Monday evening. I believe the best start would be a flight to Warsaw and then coach/train, then a taxi? I'd like to spend at least 24...

For anyone making a trip to/in Germany within the next 12 months, it may be worth buying a reduced fare Bahncard (railcard) at €25. Good for 12 months from the start date, which can be altered to several weeks ahead from the purchase date. €25 in Standard Class or €50 in First Class. Details...

Deleted - problem solved!

When I had a quick look last month, it was possible to purchase through advances (VTWC & Connections) from Liverpool to Fort William starting at £14.50 (16-25 railcard) with similar prices from Warrington, Chester etc. Now I've had another look, having tried several dates in June and July, I...

At 18:31 last night (14th April) I received an email from the Trainline containing details of a ticket I had supposedly purchased, from Lincoln to London at £48. The nominated journey was 1925 off Lincoln (EMT) and VTEC from Newark NG. The payment method was my own PayPal Credit account which...
