Hello! Just a question on Interrail passes. I bought a 2 month pass in the sale on the 7th may. It says I have 11 month to use it. Does this mean 11 months to start using it? Also what day is the last day I can start using the pass. If I was to start it on the 6th April, will that then run...

Thanks for your swift reply!

Hello Everyone, it’s been years since I’ve commented on this forum but I have a question that I haven’t been able to answer. I’ve booked tickets on the ICE from Dusseldorf to Berlin later in September. Under the search it says ‘Products’ and lists ICE1059 as the code. What does this mean? On...

I do feel the lady did over react to the situation, unfortunately the times we live in have people on edge and even legitimate behaviour no matter how small can be construed as irrational and ultimately suspicious. I myself would ask someone to mind my personal items if i was using on board...

It really does depend on a number of factors, time of booking in particular. Walk-up fares in the air industry are notoriously expensive so I am not surprised to see MAN-LHR being expensive. Could you compare this to a walk up rail fare? i think you will find that they both don't offer value for...

the idea is that it helps colourblind individuals. I myself cannot stand this map (its been around for around 6 months now), instead i think we should go for a similar system as the London Underground. where the lines are colour coded and visible much more easier on the map. give them names and...

I would say that I am now fully accustomed to the 390 tilt. I still notice it but only when I'm looking for it. Whilst on a service from Edinburgh to York last month I realised that my body is fully tuned to tilt as when going around sharp corners on a 225 I was holding onto the table for dear...

My opinion would be that if the Manchester to South Wales services are disbanded to another operator, this should be to XC. It makes sense to do this as XC is more of a national franchise rather than the regional TPE or Northern. Also if this was to happen then they could swap the 158s that run...

Thanks for that, this seems to be the most logical answer, it is just the rear bogie in the last carriage and only happens for around 2 - 3 seconds at certain locations. i did think it was bad track but wasn't sure what was happening with the unit.

Hi all, I've a question i've been meaning to ask for a while now. I notice a sound coming from the the last bogie at the rear of the train. It comes and goes and from my observations seems to be on straight track at around 50+ MPH. it seems to be a clunking sound, what i imagine to be the...

that is why i use the designated or established smoking areas, or if I'm on an open platform i will vape away from people. it bugs the hell out of me when i have to go through peoples smoke. so i do understand how annoying it can be to experience someone else smoke/vape. my point was that the...

best stay clear of the poppyseed buns and bagels then, we don't want you to get addicted to heroin! lol i suppose the issue at hand is many people are unaware of the effects of nicotine, yes it is addictive, but your not going to start craving a cigarette just because your inhaling some elses...

Nope, I would not class myself as a smoker as I'm not smoking, I'm vaping. There is no smoke in an e-cig, just liquid vapour. I think in fairness, would you rather me smoke harsh cancerous chemicals and pass these onto other people as second hand smoke? Or would you rather have me vapourise...

As a now non-smoker that vapes with an e-cig, I shall tell of my experiences of gaping on the rail network. I tend to stick to my own rules when it comes to vaping rail network, I vape in the same way as I used to smoke. I never vape on trains or indoors, on outdoor platforms I will vape ban...

I am about to upgrade from my iPhone 5c to the latest iPhone 6s Plus. As a heavy user who is prone to running my device flat when im running round the capital, I am concerned about a scenario I can see happening. If I use my device to enter the tube network, it then runs flat and is not...
