On my recent North West Rover, I went past about five or six MK3 coaches that used to belong to EMT/EMR just south of Carlisle. Does anyone know what they're doing there, what the plans are for them, and who owns them please? Thanks

As the title suggests, I'm looking for scenic journeys from Oslo, perhaps with a circular walk. Happy to do a bit of hill-climbing, although I'm not too sure how far I'll be able to go with it being (presumably) snowy there. Apart from the Bergen line which I'm already aware of, does anyone have...

I now find myself living slap bang next to the Harrogate Line, and I'm presuming these are the paths for the RHTT when we get deep into Autumn: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H31611/2023-09-29/detailed https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H31613/2023-09-29/detailed...

I'm looking to use SailRail for the first time, outward booking a single from Leeds to Dublin Belfast via Ayr, and on the return Rosslare to Leeds via Fishguard. I'll collect both tickets in Leeds before travelling as I understand I can't collect the tickets in Ireland, spend a day or two in...

I intended to take the following journey on 27/04: 12:46 Avanti Holyhead to Crewe arriving 14:52 15:10 Avanti Crewe to Manchester Piccadilly arriving 15:44 15:58 TPE Manchester Piccadilly to Leeds arriving 17:10. The 15:58 TPE was cancelled, quelle surprise. I got the 16:30 which arrived at...

Hi all, I’m approaching the grand old age of 24. It’s my understanding that this is the last time I can buy a three-year 16-25 railcard, which will last me until just before I’m 27, which is beneficial as it has better terms than the 26-30. Is that all correct please? And I presume even though...

Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/class-230-units-training-introduction-on-the-borderlands-line.191986/ What about splitting the line, having it run to Wrexham General only, and having a shuttle between there and Central a la the Cardiff Bay shuttle?

I’m on a RailJet from Wien to Praha today. It has free, fast, unlimited Wi-Fi throughout the four hour journey. No registration required. The train goes through some pretty rural parts, including sparsely-populated forests. Yet I can stream 4K video pretty much constsntly when my phone struggles...

I’m looking on Ceské drahy and it shows the mileage of a Praha hl.n to Berlin HBF journey on EC178 as 397km for today, 30/03/23. Does anyone know if that is accurate please?

I'm wanting to do my first interrail at the start of April, possibly following this itinerary...

An interesting tweet from RMT this evening, stating Avanti are stopping at-seat service. Wasn’t this advertised as one of the main perks of Standard Premium? https://twitter.com/rmtunion/status/1630940050333548548?s=46&t=vDC3x2dc8OuY1QTjySGLTw

Seen this rather interesting tweet from Richard Clinnick. I presume it’ll be the same sort of deal as the Scotrail 153 conversions? https://twitter.com/clinnick1/status/1628820196939993088?s=46&t=c-sq5B9O53LUnLEnINLNgw

I just wanted to check something for my own sanity. I’m booked Amsterdam - Düsseldorf - Koblenz HBF - Luxembourg today. My ICE from Amsterdam was late, such that I had to get a train an hour later from Düsseldorf. That was also late, so I had to get the next train from Koblenz, making me two...

I'm remembering back to a forum meet in Cardiff for the Pacers, and going 'behind' Tondu station, there's a line that branches off. From following it on Google maps, it appears to go to Margam Yard. Is this line still in use please, and if so, by what?

I'm off to Amsterdam for six days at the end of the month, and would love to spend a day or two travelling by train. I wondered if any members would be able to recommend a particular journey or train to take that might be interesting, whether it be scenic, or an interesting train, or whatever...

On Monday 23/01, I'll be travelling on the 06:16 from St Pancras to Amsterdam, but I'll be coming down from Leeds the night before and staying overnight. Would people who have travelled on Eurostar before recommend me getting a ticket to London International CIV (or whatever it's called) incase...

Hi all, I’ll be travelling on train 9126 on 22/01/23 from St Pancras to Amsterdam Centraal. Does anyone have the mileage that this is please? I presume it’ll just be going the normal route that day. Thanks!

I don't know if this is a problem with TPE, or Trainsplit, but it's letting me book onto a service that's marked as an 'Unadvertised Express' on RTT - the 05:52 Leeds to Scarborough on 22/12/22: (The screenshot below is of the Trainsplit website, showing a booking of the above service)

As many of us will be using rail to travel home for Christmas, and with the last trains being considerably earlier this year, I thought I'd start a thread for the last trains on said day. I'll kick it off with Avanti West Coast, who have just posted on Twitter their last trains for the day...

An exciting railtour has been announced by Intercity, using the DBSO and Class 47, going to Scotland over three days. Looks pretty interesting IMO: https://inter-city.co.uk/journey/the-push-pull-set
