Oh god. I’ve flown with BA three times since the new uniform was introduced and it just makes me so sad. It’s so cheap, plain and rubbish looking. To me, the original Julien McDonald uniform was just the smartest, most classy outfit you could see, especially the neck ties, and great quality...

Hiya, what's the minimum time I've got to leave between scheduled arrival at Euston and scheduled departure from Waterloo in order to qualify me for delay repay if the first is delayed? Thanks

Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/derailment-at-hersham.263767/ I’m now stranded as despite leaving 90 minutes for interchange time at Victoria, I will no longer make my Megabus to Manchester, and the railway will no doubt abandon me due to Megabus being entirely...

A train has derailed between Hersham and Walton-on-Thames. There is damage to the third rail.

Hiya Train carriages like the MK3 and MK4, and the 390’s carriages are obviously 23m, and the 80x 26m - but does anyone know how many metres are specifically the saloon, or how many metres of that 23m/26m the vestibule takes up? Would appreciate any answers. Thanks so much

I’m quite baffled by this. Empty train, except a couple of women at the front of the carriage, me towards the rear, and then the entire back carriage was empty! Yet a couple boarding just decided to sit, of all places, at my table. Took out food and had a very loud conversation and meal while I...

Announced in the last five minutes. :( It is not prostate cancer, despite him receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate - later confirmed to be benign - but while he was being treated another issue was found, which is a different form of currently undisclosed cancer. I hope he recovers well...

Hi, quick question Is Waterloo to Portsmouth via Basingstoke now completely booked 450?

I'm really rather interested in doing a brief week long trip through the six countries in the Balkan region that I haven't yet been to - Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro and Kosovo - and I mainly mean the capitals, with the exception of Montenegro, where I've...

It’s 5:25am, and although this sounds utterly ridiculous, I can’t sleep because all I can think about is eggs benedict. Now, this has always been a firm favourite breakfast of mine, from the poached egg with a firm white and golden runny yolk, to the freshly toasted English muffin topped with...

Hiya, just a quick question Are any TGVs at all left in silver and blue (with turquoise and pink doors depending on class) or is everything now in white and pink with black fronts? Thanks so much

Just to be clear, this isn’t for Speculative suggestions about the fleet, it’s to learn the facts about what actually is happening :) Forgive me if this is very clearly already an established thread (didn’t seem to be though), but what do we know so far about Chiltern’s tender for/procurement...

Almost everything on the WHL appears to have been cancelled today, including what looks like abandoning a 153 up in Fort William. What is the reason for such an appalling service today, bearing in mind RTT blames temporary speed restrictions due to excessively hot weather, which on December 23rd...

I absolutely hate what TfL have done to the Subsurface stock and Central line (and perhaps the other lines too, and I just haven’t noticed yet) in car maps, in that the classic yet very modern New Johnston has been modified so that there’s enormous spaces between each letter, and I think it’s...

A former coursemate of mine who moved to a London uni has been invited to an assessment day for a Thames Valley revenue protection officer role. It's about four hours long. Might anyone please tell me what he may expect from this, so that I can advise him accordingly? Thanks so much

The latest Apple iPhones, Apple Watches, iPads and AirPods have switched to USB-C charging, joining their MacBooks which have had this for years. None of these will work with a standard USB port (infuriatingly for me as a Mac user who takes it on every long train journey, and the plugs are quite...

I don't know how many stations are left with faded Arriva signage on TfW's network but it seems like an awful lot of them. Turquoise writing, turquoise strips (or covered with a white strip in the case of nameboards), Rail Alphabet, etc) but I'm hoping TfW get rid of it soon as it looks...

Preposterously, when booking a ticket on LNER.com and choosing the time of your train, it only offers options by the hour (10:00, 11:00, 12:00, etc) rather than every fifteen minutes like most. This would be okay, were it not for the fact that they're ridiculously awkward and don't let you...

Why did Chiltern's Oxfords go from being a 99% 168 operation (there was I think one daily 165/172 but aside from that it was very rare) to being almost exclusively operated by pairs of 165s? This seems like quite a major downgrade, and strange seeing as so many more 168s seem to be popping up on...

Three times now, I have seen Cardiff Bay - Cardiff Central and Cathays - Cardiff Central tickets be sucked into the barriers at Queen Street, when I’ve gone to the Spar so break of journey (or when I can’t be bothered waiting for the next train and walk the rest) This is surely unacceptable? My...
