Brill, thank you for all the replies. Looks as if I’ll be going with Avanti, I did look at the sleeper but the show doesn’t finish until 22.30 approx, it won’t leave that much time to get across London from the O2 to Euston in time for the sleeper.

Hi there, I’m at a show in London on the Friday night, need to get up to Edinburgh on the Saturday morning. I am struggling to find any services, from anywhere. LNER and Avanti showing nothing at all, likewise with Lumo. Only thing I’m picking up at the moment is Grand Central to...

Swansea. The high street outside the station is grim.

Can't ever see a light rail link to Porthcawl happening unfortunately, I was down at the old Nottage Halt not too long ago, the platform is in remarkably good condition. an ogmore vale service could be sorted by splitting a train at tondu. E.g. running a 4 car 150/158 to tondu then splitting on...

Yes, I can't say i've ever been to either but i'm sure that was part of the parliamentary debate involving Carmarthen to Aberystwyth.

Apologies, i live in South Wales. I am only throwing ideas out that I know that would benefit places local to me, i do invite other people to put ideas forward. I look forward to seeing them...

I live locally in South Wales and I am in some local South Wales facebook railway groups. When the Carmarthen to Aberystwyth topic comes up, I consistently hear that the money could be spent better on other ideas in Wales. My idea's are all based in and around South Wales but I am excited to...

My Local: Bridgend Setting: Right in the middle of town, loses points for the mammoth hill up to the station from the town though. 5-10 minute walk from bus station. would be much better if this could be made in to a transport interchange like Port Talbot down the line. 7/10 Architecture: Old...

Bridgend Platform 3, I think it was intended to be used for Maesteg trains but they ended up extending them all to Cardiff Central anyway. Used for trains that are terminated early or trains with problems. Last time i seen it used was mid 2015 when there was a WCR Class 37 there for an hour...

Could anyone please let me know the diagrams for 43127 today please. Want to show my brother the Harry Patch War Memorial HST

Does anyone know the workings of today and tomorrow for the Green GWR hst? Thanks

Hi Guys, Anyone know what trains the green GWR hst is working today? Trying to search it out on realtime trains for 43187 but not getting anywhere. Thanks Adam

Hi All. Literally at the starting point of this. have a space about 8ft square. Looking to build a MODERN IMAGE layout of somewhere based on Barry Island or Porthcawl but with the trackwork as it was in its heyday. Wondering if anyone had any tips for me before i started out? NB...

Start of this video shows trains running through the tunnel at Nottage into Porthcawl. Devastating shame the town has no railway anymore. town is crying out for a station during the summer months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwXuS8nYERA

there would need to be bridge repairs and up to 2 miles of new (i guess?) track laid. but thats it. maybe signalling work to allow passenger traffic & about 2 miles of reinstated track to port tennant but where the old trackbed was is still all in tact.
