    SNCF FIP/Coupons

    Does anyone have any information about when or if agents like Ffestiniog will get access to their system again? Whilst ringing them isn't the biggest pain it removes the benefit of using the agents which is a one stop shop for an entire trip, speaking to an expert and getting an entire trip...

    Köln Hbf

    I'm on the ICE to Frankfurt, and was making good time until Köln, where we lost around 15 minutes sat in the platform and crawling over the Hohenzollerbrücke. This seems to happen on any train I'm on through the area, is it just air is there a more technical reason why this seems to consistently...

    Intercités de Nuit

    Next summer I'm hoping to travel on the Intercités de Nuit to Portbou. From my brief searching online this isn't running even the Friday night it usually runs during winter. Will this be running by July, is it covid related? Or is it just guesswork like a lot of international travel atm

    Unusual moves Belgium

    Due to the impending lockdown in Saxony my travel plans have changed and I have a free day in Belgium in a couple of weeks. I will be staying in Mechelen and was wondering if there's any unusual stock moves to travel on or some aging or loco hauled stuff around. Thanks!

    Early Morning Metrolink

    Since the early morning Airport services have been withdrawn, there seems to have been silence about when, or if, these will return? Has there been any announcement I've missed, or even rumours seeing as the network seems to be getting back to its usual running

    Covid Specials: could they call at Wembley?

    Man City played Spurs yesterday in the Carabao and Avanti put two trains on for City fans travelling from Manchester. It seemed bizarre putting them in a bubble and providing negative test results when they were forced to travel from Watford or Euston to the stadium on public transport. Why...

    Hello I'm looking to see if there's any website that I can easily find flight schedules. I'm looking for flights from any airport in the UK to Turkey, Bulgaria or Romania for a specific weekend, and I think the easiest way would be to find a railway style timetable, which I doubt exists, but a...

    We have a booking for Paris - Stuttgart on the 1355 on Monday, looking more and more likely this won't run, and eurostar are unable to reroute us via Brussels, is there another route or bus/car hire etc from Paris that is looking more reliable as it stands?

    Munich - Zagreb Euro Night

    Is this train still run using Croatian stock, or is it run by NightJet now, I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I assume the other portions that split are OBB stock, but on DB app it does not mention bar service or classify it as NJ, however it is stated as operated by OBB

    Metrolink speeds at Trafford Bar

    I assume the PSRs at Trafford Bar being so low is because of the pointwork, but why do they crawl? Surely the points are safe enough for a higher speed. Could shave a minute- 90 seconds off the journey time

    De Lijn Dagpassen

    If you buy a 3 day pass for De Lijn, is this valid on De Lijn across the whole country, or just for the city you purchase in? Because if it's the former I'm kicking myself I've never made the most of it before
