    Southern DaySave afternoon restrictions

    Hi, I'm after some guidance on the terms controlling afternoon peak on Southern's Daysave. Southern's website says: and NRE says the same thing. This would appear to rule out travel on any train that calls at any of those stations - even taking the 1529 from Bognor Regis to Ford (arr 1540)...

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jan/19/uk-rail-firms-ordered-stop-abusing-train-cancellations-loophole Not a moment too soon, although I'm reserving my full judgement until I see the result of the Network Rail consultation process.

    ScotRail RMT staff accept pay offer

    Fresh off the BBC's figurative presses: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-63742751 With the repeated caveat that this applies only to ScotRail staff, not Network Rail staff in Scotland.

    Change-of-route excess for Glasgow-Carlisle return

    Evening all, I'm wanting to go from Glasgow to Carlisle and back on the same day, out via Dumfries and back on TPE (leaving aside their questionable reliability for the moment). I'm 99% confident that I'm correct in saying that I can buy the Off-Peak Return route via Dumfries for £23.00, and...

    Class 442: original destination displays

    Afternoon, I've seen reference to the 442s having a dot-matrix destination display as-new but I'm having trouble spotting it in photographs. Is anybody able to confirm this for me, and even better turn up a picture of one? Cheers.

    Eurostar VKM

    Forgive me if this is a bit odd - I've been looking through the current list of Vehicle Keeper Markings checking a different operator and noticed in passing that Eurostar's is shown as being "GB-EU", and that it's currently 'blocked' (as opposed to 'in use' or 'revoked'). It's the same too in...

    AWS/TPWS integration within ETCS-equipped rolling stock

    Is it that it can't, or just hasn't been done so far? As far as I can guess, the TPWS control logic would be contained in the ETCS Specific Transmission Module and thus the TPWS indicators could be shown on the DMI with the release buttons being emulated by the DMI's softkeys.

    Eurostar e300 routes/diagrammes

    Hi all, I'm hoping to manage a trip on an e300 while it's still possible, so I've two questions: I understand that Eurostar are intending to keep a small number of e300s in use alongside the new fleet of e320s. Is there any indication of how long this will continue to be the case? (ie; how...

    [Germany] May/June 2021 - 30 Years of ICE Service

    I'm a little bit late on this, I admit, but nevertheless: 29 May this year marked thirty years since the public launch of the new Intercity-Express trainsets at Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe station, followed by the commencement of public services between Hamburg and Munich on the 2nd of June. At that...
