New Weatherspoons; The Capt. Flinders round the corner from the station on Eversholt Street. (Former lapdancing place 'Sophisticats') Welcome addition to the current Euston options Usual spoons experience, just had a reasonable breakfast but the most remarkable thing is it still has a 'new...

Is the current Thameslink service in its final state? Are there tweaks to timetabling/diagrams/rosters that are planned or are needed? Is ATO in the central section 100% operational on all services? I'm a regular passenger through the Central core and subjectively it feels the service is...

Rails squealing particularly on the southbound line seem particularly loud right now, is there a lubricating point that has run dry?

Seems to be lots of cancellations at Paddington for 'emergency track work' any more details?

With the HS2 spine removing high express services from the WCML, does tilt have a future at all? Will it be used on the Northern part of the WCML still?

I've an advanced single LNER ticket 08.17 Mytholmroyd to King's Cross. The 08.17 Northern service is running 15 mins late meaning I would have missed the 09.15 LNER Leeds service so just hopped on the previous 07.53 northern service. Conductor on the Northern service charged me for a new...

Trip on the railway today and it looks like there was the space (and the bridges are double width) for double track between New Romney and Romney Sands. Has this been singled? And is this the only singling of a railway in its preserved era?

Am booked on the 15.25 Halifax to King's Cross GC train today but just checked and its not running. LNER sold me the ticket (online) so do I wait for the later GC service that is running or get an LNER service from Leeds? I can see both companies denying its down to them

So currently there are; Cholsey & Wallingford Chinnor & Princes Risborough IoWSR Bluebell Spa Valley East Kent I get the map is about connections so would only show railways that connect to NR lines but there do seem to be a few missing ones. Is there a commercial element for lines to appear...

As the title says, are there any options for fewer trains to terminate at Paddington? When OOC is open will that become the main termination point? Or is the capacity issue just west of Paddington itself?

On Wikipedia it states in 2011 NR had 845 signal boxes; I can't find a more recent number. Are there less than 500 now?

All gone very quiet; has it been settled out of court?

There have been lots of suggestions for crossrail expansions from the basic Elizabeth line but they've all been kicked into touch as either too expensive and / or bad BCRs. What are worth reconsidering now? Could any of the underlying economics changed positively?

A recent journey on the sleeper to Cornwall was really marred by the jerky stop/starts shunting between coaches at each stop. Could this be improved if the sleeper set was re-engineered to have motive power at both ends giving a smoother journey, no need to uncouple en route and, if class 43...

Just had a few nights down in St Ives via the sleeper train (both ways) and these are my thoughts: * On board staff were excellent; smoothed over any issues and friendly and helpful. * Full tray breakfast service is suspended but they are doing an acceptable reheated bacon roll * Passengers...

Is the AVE interconnector tunnel open now between Madrid Atocha and Madrid Chamartín stations? Hard to tell from a google search as there seems to be multiple tunnels between those two stations but its unclear if the AVE service is running between them.

Insulator cleaning or lack of it seems to be a big issue on a lot of US metro systems. The Washington Metro has suffered a lot of smouldering incidents with dirty insulators being the cause. I've not heard of a similar issue on the London underground; is this because cleaning has been more...
