I'm planning on heading for Australia next year but have absolutely no experience so any information anyone has would be gratefully received. I have about 4 weeks and would like to stop of somewhere in Asia in the way out, if anyone knows of a country with a bit of interesting railway action...

What a pile of junk the new DB website is. On the old one I could click on a station and it would give me all departures for next hour; not any more unless someone has worked out how to do it? Are there any other timetable sites that I can use as DB one is no good anymore?

I know there was the Black Friday offer; usually have an offer on interrail tickets around New Year but seen nothing yet. Anyone know if there are likely to be offers on soon or is that not happening this year?

Can anyone shed any light on the apparent numbering of Vectrons (193s)? Seems to be very few low numbered ones yet I've seen 193999! Obviously they didn't start at 001 and go upwards; any reason why not? As an aside DB's 245s seem to have a gap from around 028 to 035, assume they were a possible...

Can anyone recommend a website or contact that can obtain tickets for the Istanbul to Sofia train in advance? I found one (Discover by Rail) but I asked a few questions and he's thrown a strop on me, won't answer my questions and now asked me to stop contacting him without giving me a reason.

Just been to Romania and was wondering how much work was done on the class 60 diesels when converted to 64/66s (originally 65/63s)? Maybe a better question would be how much of the original loco is left as seems a lot of new bodywork?

Off out to Germany next month and know there have been a lot of loco hauled trains vice units in some areas. Looking for info as seems a lot don't run in April either because units are taking over or there's track maintenance. Would anyone have a definitive list, please, of the loco hauled vice...

Apologies if this is in wrong thread but was wondering if anyone had access to information on 201s in Ireland. Just wondering which locos are out tomorrow (Friday 10th) and Saturday. Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am planning to travel on EN40462 from Vienna in early April and it appears to have a vastly increased journey time compared to when I've used it before. All seems reasonably normal to Salzburg but then takes over 3 hours to get to Innsbruck, anyone know why? Is it being diverted via a...

I have a query about ticket validity on the Railair coach link from Reading to Heathrow. We are travelling with interrail tickets using the outward journey trip to get to Heathrow Airport; is this valid on Railair? If not what's the supplement? Thanks for any info.

Are there any diagrams for e300 sets to Brussels or are they just on Paris route?

Have a query about ex Yugoslavian Railways 664062. Was reported as stored at Fushe Kosove depot in Kosovo and have found a photo of it in 2015. Was wondering if anyone knew if it's still there or has it been scrapped in the meantime?

Just travelled from Madrid to Badajoz using some of the new high speed line. The 334s were running at maximum speed so 200km/h which made for some interesting running. Assume this line is all Iberian gauge? Will it be 25kV and is it planned to electrify all the way from Madrid to Badajoz? To be...

Seems there are works on line from Algeciras so only one train running, which is early morning. Annoyingly the mid afternoon loco hauled kicked into touch, which was train I was planning to do. Useless Renfe site hints at using a train from Malaga but with no information as to how to reach it...

Hoping to go to Bosnia in a few weeks to try and track down remaining steam workings (hoping they still run, if not be hunting out 661 diesels). We're hiring a car so would anyone know if any good locations where I could see these workings? Also any locations where the 661s work would also be...

Purely from a maintenance and reliability point of view which were the better engines, EE or Sulzer? I'd rather it was just facts and not emotive as we all probably have our favourite but am interested to hear from people who worked with them and on them.

Does anyone know what loco is currently working the unit replacement on RB48? Thought I heard rumours of 110469 returning?

I understand 111111 is currently on the RE3 Ersatzzug? Does anyone know the exact services it runs, please?

Heading for Portugal in a couple of weeks; can anyone recommend a testing company, found one that would do an antigen test for £29(think it was C19testing) as these are accepted for travel to Portugal? Any information would be appreciated as obviously I don't want to be denied boarding due to...

I've tried booking some TGV reservations with interrail tickets on the SNCF website, goes all the way to the payment page, the payment is authorised and then nothing. It just goes back to home page. I know very few people probably risking a trip abroad but has anyone else tried/had similar...
