Above is a map of this phase, taken from the NR website here. I'm currently noticing new signal gantries going up here and there. For example the one in the photo below, just wet of Denmark Hill station. This is close to but not in an identical location to, an existing gantry, shown in the...

I have an off peak return from south london to Eastbourne. Routing is "not via London". The obvious route is via Lewes and that's how I travelled down. However it involves a tedious rail replacement bus and I'd rather return via St Leonards. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be a permitted...

Does anyone know where I might find times for this train, through France? This the one that runs pretty much daily on the UK side, carrying bottled mineral water. I often see it as it passes through south london around 9am. I can find only quite sketchy information online, eg...

Last week I travelled on a very heavily delayed (2+ hrs) Lumo service. Their website says that if you buy an advance ticket (I did - Lumofixed) from them directly (I did) and the train is delayed (it was) then they'll initiate the delay repay process automatically within 24 hrs of the journey...

If I buy a ticket partly paid for using some kind of credit like "LNER Perks", then is any refund based purely on the ticket price? For example, if I buy a £100 ticket using £60 of "perks" and £40 of my own cash, and I get a 50% delay repay refund, do they refund me £50, or just the £40 that I...

Can't help but notice a theme in the threads on here, which is that the train companies are now trying to go after people based on their ticket purchase histories, rather than direct evidence of fare evasion. By direct evidence I mean, caught on the railway traveling without a valid ticket. I'm...

mods note - split from this thread I'm often a bit disappointed how car-centric some heritage railways are. Even when they have a direct connection to NR - timetables and facilities are sometimes centred around the station which has the biggest car park instead.

This doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet. Derailment of a cement train. Sadly it seems the driver did not survive. Appears to have taken place on a main line and could have been much worse other trains had come through at the same time...

On the daytime sailings are there always foot passenger tickets available on the day or do they sometimes sell out?

It doesn't seem to be possible to log in to my DB account from a desktop computer. I'm presented with a captcha, and when I submit this I get a 503 error. Same with several different browsers. I can log in on the DB Navigator app on my phone, but the journey planner there is more limited...

Can anyone clarify what the rules are with a Super Sparpreis Europa ticket - are they essentially the same as for Super Sparpreis, here - https://www.bahn.com/en/offers/super-saver-fare I am looking at a journey with multiple legs, starting in the Netherlands (sequence of RE & Dutch IC...

Is there any kind of website that provides an overview of railtours operating in Germany? The equivalent of something like http://www.railtourinfo.co.uk/tours.html? Alternatively, any tips for sources of info, or the websites of the principal railtour operators there? I'm interested in...

Is there any easy way to check out what stock is used on specific Flixtrain services - is it fairly consistent or do they operate quite a mix that varies by service? (I'm quite keen to find any that are still using compartment stock, the type with slide-down windows along the corridor)

Does anyone know if a current track plan for Inverness station and associated yards/sidings exists in the public domain? It's quite hard to make out certain details from aerial images, and it looks like there have been some relatively recent changes to the layout. Freight traffic to Inverness...

I'm curious to know how many people are actually bothered about lighting quality on board trains. For me, bad lighting is now one of the most significant irritants on long journeys, which is frustrating because it seems like something that should not be difficult or expensive to get right, if...

mods note - split from here. As a matter of curiosity, what would happen if you simply refused to discuss anything, beyond the fact that you are exiting a station with a ticket that is valid for a journey finishing at that station? The onus must be on the RPIs to prove that you made a journey...

I don't understand why this happens. If I search for a journey from Loughborough Junction to Heathrow T2, 6am on the 29th December, NRE shows me what seems to me the most obviously convenient route: Thameslink straight to Farrngdon, then Elizabeth Line straight to Heathrow: But asking the TfL...

The Scotrail website says they are "still working through their train plans" for these days. I'm mainly interested in what's likely to happen on the 27th (travelling southbound from Inverness). My understanding is the NR strike is until 6am or so. Therefore at least morning services are likely...

You're traveling by yourself and boarding a fairly busy train that has a number of unreserved seats. And you fancy getting a pair of seats to yourself. Do you have strategies for this? For example, I might spot a pair of seats that are reserved for the entire journey, with no-one in them, and...

A DP railcard allows the holder & a companion both to travel at the reduced price. It's clear that this is the case where both people have exactly the same ticket type. However the railcard website isn't 100% clear on what the rules are if that's not the case. For example, if the railcard...
