I live near Bury Street Junction and with the wind in the right direction can hear the trains clattering the points - this morning I noted an unusually high number and RTT revealed a number of VSTP service trains running Cheshunt-Seven Sisters-Liv St (screenshot of services through Edmonton...

Went to Chichester and back on Sunday 25th - plenty of disruption around. I submitted delay repay for all 4 journeys (2 of us travelled) - outbound fine. Return - trainline sold us £8.70 split tickets (without a fee) - consisting of £6 advance single Chichester-Clapham, £2.70 super off peak...

I've just been at Harringay by chance to see this rattle through - 66044 on the front followed by a number of wagons with a rogue 66 in the middle. Any ideas how that's come about? Cheers Dave

Afternoon, I've used the forum search and have seen a few posts on the above, but hoping for some specific, easy access advice I can wave at people, so please indulge me. I'll be on Lake Como in a couple of weeks; sadly not rail connected but we are with chariot! My partner was hunting for...

Hello, Asking for a friend, not for me. They're going through a house purchase on the east side of the railway just north of Watford Junction, near where the slow and fast lines split for the tunnels (Google map attached for simple reference - the house is somewhere in the marked area). They've...

A "for info" report, really, but hopefully welcome... I was up to York for my partner's birthday over the weekend. First intercity travel for a while. We had the Highland Chieftain out. I must say, in light of the general complaints about the rail industry that seem to be popular opinion of...

Good morning, I've just submitted delay repay claims for my journeys on Saturday, which were both pretty heavily disrupted. I'm hoping I can clarify my thinking as I've already had the return leg declined (presumably because it's quite complex - I've resubmitted for manual review). I actually...

Hi all, Group of us travelling to Hastings tomorrow. I'm definitely going out via Ashford to tick off the line via Appledore. The £26 (w/ railcard) super off peak return appears to be "any permitted route" + high speed. There is some dispute in the group over whether such a ticket can be used...

Not sure if there's an existing open thread - I couldn't see one aside from those in Speculative Discussion - but Anne-Marie Trevelyan has confirmed that due to time pressure in getting the energy crisis-related bills through parliament, there won't be time for the GBR bill. This was confirmed...

Morning, I went down to Pimlico after a few after work sherberts last night to find the station closed. I note it's been closed of late per this thread but the signage seemed to insinuate that the entire line was closed from Warren Street south for urgent repairs to the track. Is this...

Hello, At various points over the next three weeks, my partner and I will be travelling on the above trains on legs of our trip through the American Midwest. 30/4 Chicago - St Louis (Texas Eagle) dep 1155 arr 1745 13/5 Jackson, MS - New Orleans (City of New Orleans) dep 1120 arr 1547 We’ve...

Hello, I've been mulling over whether to post this, and it's a bit long, but I've been involved in a really odd case with GWR since the end of January and appear to have now reached an impasse, so I'm seeking some advice about what to do next: Two of us went from Paddington to Bath for the...

Hello, Preamble: I'm off to Edinburgh tomorrow. My original plan was two nights in a hotel, followed by a night staying at a friend's house. Unfortunately said friend has contracted you-know-what, so I've had to book a hotel in Portobello. The nearest station is Brunstane (forget buses for a...

Hi, As I've referred in other threads, I'm putting together a model railway based on the Midlands circa 1990. I'm doing a fair bit of research into the running of that era - I've used several online timetables of the time to build a passenger TT, and I was hoping to locate freight documents to...

Hi there, I'm planning to model a TMD which would be notionally at one end of a yard - although as this is a question about signalling rather than anything to do with the modelling itself I've put it in I&S. I have a basic understanding of signalling but not much more than that. I'd like to...

Hello - hoping the ticket scholars can help! I want to go from Finsbury Park to Leatherhead on 18th September. I also want to return the same day, but I'd like to break my journey to see some friends at Mitcham Junction. Also of interest is the £3.10 for two bus journeys I'll make to get...

Hello, Long time forum user, but I'm querying this on behalf of a friend. I think I know the consensus the forum will reach but hoping for some confirmation. She travels from Rochester to Victoria some mornings; her shift pattern is erratic and so she doesn't buy a season ticket, rather...

Hi. I'm on my way back from Reading on an Anytime Day Single Reading-Finsbury Park. I've got plans to go down to St James's Park to meet some friends before continuing home. I'm resigned to having to pay for all journeys after Paddington, but on the off chance: is there a way I can use the...

Hi, I’ve got a stag do (never mind...) in Budapest next July. A pal of mine has a fear of flying so I’ve offered to train it down with him from London. I was expecting 36 hours so very pleased to see Eurail.com offer 18-24h travel. Obviously I couldn’t search on next year’s timetables yet, but...
