I was driving north and saw a 37 (I think 37714, definitely that sort of livery and it was named) heading south around the North Weald area. Anyone know where it was going?

Allowing passengers to choose to share with strangers would help to bring in more revenue. A significant proportion of berths must run empty every night. I get not everyone wants to be possibly sharing with a stranger, but it wouldn't bother me (nothing can be as awkward as the time in Morocco I...

I saw on a Facebook post (sorry no link as I can never find anything I see on there ever again) that there are apparently substantial remains of Victoria station aside formt he clock tower and hotel. The post claimed that there are rooms including an old ticket office beneath the shopping...

My mum won £10k on the Premium Bonds, so she's used it to book an awesome villa in Sicily for a week next May, for us all (her and dad, my family and my brothers family) to have a week away together. We just need to pay for our flights. Flights appear to be horrifically expensive - like £600...

I know essentially a bridge for the sub surface lines was built underground and then the box for the Jubilee line and escalators excavated below. But how was that bridge built without shutting the sub surface lines for a long time?

Long story short. Arrived Michaelwood Services northbound. The Tesla chargers are located in the adjoining hotel car park, but I became confused as the navigation system was telling me to go down a lane with no entry signs and "Authorised Vehicles Only". I turned the corner on that lane and at...

I had occasion to change trains at Crewe today, not a station I've visited before. Whilst I was hanging around, I noticed there was an EMR service to Newark Castle via Stoke. The seemed to run semi-fast to Nottingham, then calling all shacks to Newark. Sort of long distance morphing into local...

Clearly there is some issue or work taking place in this section as there are lights on in the tunnel and trains run slowly for almost the entire section. Just curious as to what the issue is?

Does anyone know if it's possible to find out what events took place at the O2 in Greenwich on past dates? Their website unsurprisingly only shows upcoming events. Specifically interested in last Friday 20th and Saturday 21st January.

I'm in Cardiff on Thursday and need to be in London for 1030 Friday 16th. Because if the strikes I'm going to drive to Cardiff so that I can drive from there to London on Friday morning. But I don't fancy driving and parking in central London. I was planning to park in one of the car parks near...

Is this: https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=DIS&dest=0035&tkt=7TS valid for: 1. One journey into London, unlimited zone 1-6 travel for 7 days, and one journey back to Diss? 2. Unlimited journeys into London, unlimited returns to Diss and unlimited travel in zones 1-6 for 7 days? I think...

I'm idly wondering if there is any technical reasons why the surviving APT vehicles could not be returned to use for railtours (or even spot hire). I know lots of money would be required, and a solution to the now removed trackside equipment that authorised tilt and speed found. But is there a...

I'm doing the outward journey tomorrow, and am likely to be heading out of Paddington in the evening peak. On GWR peak hours before I've heard guards announcing that "off-peak tickets are not valid and if you have one of these tickets you will be charged the full single fare..." My ticket has a...

Walking to the station at Durham this week, I walked along the road under the viaduct. I noticed veritcal cracks running from top to bottom of some of the piers. The pier nearest the station appears to have sunk slightly as you can see the handrails are deformed. It got me wondering, how are...

Thought inspired in another now locked thread, @FenMan said: "For what it's worth, my opinion is established professionals who are set up at home love working remotely. But for younger employees who want to get on who live in flat-shares or have a young family in a small home, i.e most of them...

Can any ticketing whizzes help me out? I need to travel to Durham on Thursday afternoon and come back on Friday. I need somee flexibility if possible, but if not arriving Durham 6pm and leaving 5pm should be fine. The best trainsplit can do is about a tenner cheaper than an off peak return. But...

Whilst waiting for a westbound train at Aldgate East today, I noticed a curious signal and wonder what it is/was? At the end of the platform is a triangular signal with 3 lenses on it. There's a placard attached which says "Rail Gap Ind." What is it and what does it indicate?

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/valid-usage-of-pass-com-or-slamdunk-court-case.223713/ Many years ago on a packed train and very delayed out of Newcastle, someone missed their stop at Chester-le-Street. We were already out of the platform by the time she got to...

For some time now, if you've booked with GA either through their app or on their website using a mobile device, the only option for ticket delivery has been e-tickets. I've always booked using the desktop site to collect TOD tickets (I prefer them and it's easier for making expenses claims)...
