Very basic campsite but nice and friendly, Blue Skies Campsite at Wells Next The Sea, literally the other side of the fence to Wells and Walsingham Railway, plus bus stop outside as well to reach North Norfolk Railway at Sheringham.

Did this journey Monday with family in tow from Kings Cross to Aviemore. Found the seats ok, but the wife didn't like them compared to a Pendolino we were on the previous day. The one thing that surprised me was the size of the counter - smaller than I imagined! I appreciate I'll be in a...

I've just done an Aviemore-Euston trip last night with my wife and 2 kids (10 and 8). The first time we'd used the sleeper (and don't use trains that often but am a big fan of using public transport where possible). We only had the seats, for the 4 of us it was £85 using a family and friends...

& kind of related but not trains - Travel Coventry has extended some of their buses into Nuneaton as well so competing with Stagecoach !

Having never visited Blackpool via train before I was lucky enough to go on an RTC Blackpool Peninne Express trip a couple of weeks back, seemed friendly enough and an efficient operation at the station.

thank you for the pics...all food for thought !

Thank you!! Will have a look at that. Hadn't totally appreciated you could pick it up at Crewe!!

Hi I was hoping someone maybe to offer some advice please as to the suitability of the Comfort Seats on the Calendonian Sleeper and children (10+8 - generally pleasant, well behaved and keep themselves occupied :D). We did via different split tickets earlier this year Cov - Aviemore and...

We visited Llandudno on the train last Friday. I hadn't checked, so my own fault, but was surprised how early that station had closed for the evening and with it the toilets as well. Probably was naive expecting it to be open. Appreciate the thread title also and that this station had toilets...

Yeah Ive seen the website you mean now with a picture or Tornado on?? Does seem strange! Don't believe it is a current website as they list steam engines no longer on the line. It's all diesel steam outlines. From memory I think i think they do weekends only after summer hols but don't hold me...

You maybe looking at two different railways. Check the Wells Walsingham Railway website out -http://www.wwlr.co.uk/ The harbour railway runs from the town to beach and that will probably be every 15 mins or so and take about 5 mins..

Cheers thats the screen shot i was trying to upload as well. Glad it wasnt just me though!

When I can I will upload a screen shot. However, trying to confirm last time of trains between Birmingham New St and Coventry for tonight. Last one looks to be 22.54, but a 23.14 showing as a sleeper service , just thought it sounded bizarre!!!

It's more than just special events though isn't it and my comment wasn't relating purely to those at the Ricoh Arena, but, somehow it just seems wrong that it wasn't built when that area of the city was being developed, the Arena was supposed to have a green transport plan as such there is...

I used to get the train to The Hawthorns daily for work via Smethwick Galton Bridge and if I didn't have a pass and the station wasn't manned, often I'd attempt to buy a ticket on the train, on occasions, I'd be at Galton Bridge and despite looking from Bham New Street they'd still not of found...
