    Waterloo to Hampton Court

    I got the train direct from Waterloo to Hampton Court today. I tapped in at Waterloo using my Oyster Card and tapped out at Hampton Court. When the train was coming into Surbiton I was confused to hear an announcement saying that Oyster is not valid beyond Surbiton. The announcement was...

    GBRf Class 99 - 30 locomotives now ordered

    There was a ro-ro ship next to it which is currently heading to the UK according to Marine Traffic. Assuming it is now on that one and not waiting for another then that would be the ship 'Asian Dynasty'. Nope, I was in Barcelona for other rail-related business, but the Class 99 was just a...

    Avanti Superfare - Missed Train Due to Underground and Southern Delays

    I can't remember the arrival time at Victoria exactly, probably around that time, maybe a few minutes later. Why 39 minutes before departure? Is that to do with the connection times which are allowed?

    Avanti Superfare - Missed Train Due to Underground and Southern Delays

    I have a question regarding what is the 'proper' way Avanti should have delt with an issue my partner had today. My partner had purchased an Avanti Superfare ticket from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street. Yesterday, she received the ticket and it was for the 14:43 from Euston. I travelled...

    Refused Ticket Collection

    I had a bizarre experience at Liverpool Lime Street yesterday. I attempted to collect some tickets from the ticket machine for travelling from Lime Street to Barnstaple and back. I had hoped to get a e-ticket, but when purchasing online the GWR app did not give me that option for some reason. I...
