I have a couple of questions about Eurostar ticketing after my trip between London - Montpellier yesterday. I purchased my tickets from the Eurostar website and collected them from the Ticket on Departure (ToD) machines at St Pancras station, I was in possession of two separate tickets; one for...

After the delivery of the new Thameslink rolling stock, could a fleet of cascaded class 319 EMUs become dedicated for the TransManche Metro between Kent and Nord-pas-de-Calais? I understand that the ceremonial workings through the Channel Tunnel after competition with 319008/009 in 1993...

If you have time to spare at the airport, it's free to travel on the Heathrow Express between Heathrow Central/T4/T5, or you may want to experience the new Heathrow Pod (ULTra) between Terminal 5 and the Business Car Park - it departs from the 2nd floor of the terminal car park IIRC - it's...

The Mountfitchet triangle? Stansted North Junction - Stansted Airport - Stansted South Junction. Here - http://binged.it/wQh7gH I don't know if any NXEA services turn on the triangle but it's a physical possibility.

Gave up with Marseille, going to Montpellier instead now! :lol: A perk of going to Montpellier is that I have two hours in town (as opposed to 45m for Marseille) and the return is via Paris (as opposed to Lille) with another 2h interchange for Eurostar, so I can do some trips on the RER/Metro...

...it's my birthday soon and because I have the time available next week I decided that I'd treat myself to a day trip to continental Europe on Wednesday 18th - I would plan on a basis of purely seeing how far I could travel in a day before having to turn back towards home. London - Marseille...

A few rants about the Jubilee Line... :-D Every time, without fail, you never, ever, manage to get a clear journey in to Stratford on the Jubilee Line. The journey is booked to take 3 mins but always involves stopping at Stratford Staff Halt and again adjacent to Stratford Market Depot to...

Where did my post go? It was deleted after I edited it. :idea: Anyway... Class 158s (and 159s) are a daily occurrence with SWT on London Waterloo - West of England services. 185s were delivered through the Channel Tunnel from Dollands Moor - Longsight via Wembley so all have...

Class 158s (and 159s) are a daily occurrence with SWT on London Waterloo - West of England services. 185s were delivered through the Channel Tunnel from Dollands Moor - Longsight via Wembley so all have traversed London on their delivery trips to FTPE. I'm also certain that I have seen a...

The classes of 175/180/334/458/460 are designated as members of the Coradia model (types 1000 and Juniper respectively) but I have noticed that Alstom make almost no mention of these sub-models in the Coradia brochures and videos on their website - only the more proliferate...

I went passed the Eurostar depot at Temple Mills and I noticed that the trailer carriages (les remorques) of NoL half-set (37)3308 have been treated to the new Eurostar logo despite having been in long term storage even before transfer from North Pole and have never turned a wheel even once...
