1745 from Bournemouth started short at Southampton Central (currently near Wolverhampton and en route to Manchester). 1845 cancelled Bournemouth <> New Street. Running from Brum to Manchester only. 1945 cancelled throughout (Bournemouth <> New Street). So the last northbound service from...

Thread title says it all really. Are they non-transferable (like monthly / annual season tickets), or can you share one (I believe this is the case with LNWR weekly seasons, but I'd lose the will to live if I used their services)? Thanks in advance ~ Jim.

This one just popped up in my newsfeed: https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/local-news/penzance-paddington-train-reverse-along-8866914 In other news, I deserve a medal for copying and pasting that off the Reach website on my phone — never seen so many adverts trying to trip me up before...

Northbound WCML via. Weedon has been blocked since just after 1815 by the 1740 Glasgow via. Brum service. As of now (2225), it appears to still be there. Should be crossing the border into Scotland around now. RTT link to service. Traksy link with 1Z99 (the Thunderbird) sitting in front of it...

Sadly, there was a fatality at Bushey (I think) at around 2pm yesterday. I was travelling to Coventry in the evening; however the proportion of West Midlands (destination, not TOC) services cancelled was way above my expectations, with disruption continuing well into the evening. I’ll reply...

Looks like it might have been in the sidings to the west of the station? Disruption started at just after 0700 this morning, with two lines out of four now open this afternoon (the mains I’m guessing given the location of the fire!). Delays ongoing now, albeit nothing like the morning rush when...

I'm sure you'll all tell me why :D but if we buy a weekly pass here so the missus can do (as is the case last / this week) last Thursday, Friday, today and tomorrow -- not that I would but why shouldn't I theoretically be able to use it on the Saturday and Monday for example, given that the...

It occurred to me the other day that - in my 42 years so far on this Earth - I've lived in three properties with a direct view of a railway line: From the front of our current house in the south of Coventry, between the houses on the other side of the road, I can see the Coventry <> Leamington...

Evenin' all, Are services tomorrow affected by a wind down to the strike activity on Saturday maybe? I'm heading up to Coventry for the weekend tomorrow, and from what I can see, Avanti's usual stellar service offers the following: 1823 1843 1933 2023 2230 2330 As a few of us are going for...

As fun as this journey is: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:S50539/2022-08-19/detailed Don’t other later evening departures from other London stations run early when circumstances allow? I’m looking at some of the ex. Kings Cross trains in this instance. Completely understand...

Reading Station: Murder arrest after man dies on platform

Evening all, In my 41 years on this planet, I've not yet dabbled with a train driving simulator. If I were to get involved, what would you recommend? The lines I use the most are the GWML, the WCML and also the CrossCountry route between Birmingham and Reading, and figured it'd be a fun thing...

Afternoon campers. I was aiming to travel from Coventry to Euston this afternoon on the 1431, which has been cancelled. I’ve got a split ticket (Cov > MK , MK > Euston); can I use this on the 1411 even though it doesn’t stop at MK, or will I have to wait until the 1531 now? Cheers ~ Jim.

Not seen this covered here yet (apols if so): Daily Mail link warning: Daily Mail article

Somewhat surprised to see this level of detail on the NRE disruption page: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/today.aspx (Note: dynamic link so will update once clear.) Wouldn't they normally put 'operating incident', or something similar?

For those not a fan of the Daily Mail, look away now.. Modern trains will be shown on road signs warning motorists of a level crossing for the first time in Britain

Today's been a fun day, it seems. No trains from New Street down to Euston after the 1031 (at Coventry), to the 62 mins delayed 1450 that took the scenic route via. Aston to avoid the issues, that eventually headed south at 1615 (scheduled for 1511) and got to Euston at 1720. Surprised it's not...

Having shelled out £6.65 for a pint of Asahi at the Three Guineas at Reading station the other day, just wondered what the most expensive pint you’ve ordered from a station pub is? I think I’ve read that the one upstairs at Manchester Picc is nudging £7 (!) at the moment, but haven’t been there...

Rather than clutter up the restrictions thread currently running, I thought I'd keep this separate. The other half and five of her friends are trying to organise a long weekend abroad probably towards the end of April; only thing is that one of the group is unvaccinated. Aside from Italy and...

Evening folks, Any ideas what's holding these up? They've both got "NOTM" stamps on them on Traksy (not sure what that means). 9G46 and 9G47 are the ones in question (the wife being stuck on the former). Cheers, Jim.
