The Bradford Interchange to Leeds via Dewsbury trains are advertised as Cottingley on both departure screens and the front of the train. Not sure what they show when departing Leeds though. I would guess Brighouse maybe.

Again back in Central Trains days I got on a class 156 at Shrewsbury advertised through to Sleaford but I only went as far as Lincoln.

1N28 arrives 11D at Leeds at 19:40 from the Garforth direction then sits for 25 minutes before forming 20:05 1Y33 to Nottingham

Forgive the potentially daft question but the Southern Day Save has restriction 'not valid on trains departing East Croydon, Clapham Jn or any of the London terminals between 16:15 and 19:15' so does this mean I cannot board at those stations, or not board at any station call on trains calling...

I got a strange look from the guard when I asked her for a single to Prestwick International Airport after getting on at Whitley Bridge. For a short while in my early twenties, that was my local station. I think it was £40 something with my railcard which I thought was reasonable

Going back long time to when FGW ran some loco hauled services using class 57 I think, I boarded at Bristol going to Cardiff and the lights were out in one of the mk 2 coaches. Rather than cancel or lock out as the train was very busy, the guard and another member of staff each had a torch and...

Plenty of RDG-RDH (Reading-Redhill) SBT-SBJ (Stourbridge) I'm sure there will be more

A big one for me was in Germany when the overnight sleeper from Hamburg to Innsbruck which was to drop me off at 0200 ish in Nuremburg was severely delayed awaiting the connecting portion from Moscow due to heavy snow. I was booked on on a 0500 flight from NUE to Tenerife which I knew I would...

Hi. Is anyone able to say what the diagram numbers are for the hull trains 802s. Am I correct in saying they are BGxxx?

Not sure if its already been asked, but has a date been put forward for when the new timetable will be released to RTT

Kph. Still impressive though

Does anyone have a definitive list of which units are allocated to which depot?

Currently on holiday in Devon and I'd like to take train to Dawlish Warren from Totnes changing at Newton Abbot then enjoy walk along sea wall back to Teignmouth. The wife isn't keen on using the train as she thinks it may be crowded. Does anyone know what the loading is like and what is...

Not me but witnessed in Dorridge a few years back a train in the bay which was heading to Tyseley Depot. A chap was walking through the train checking it was empty from back to front closing the doors on each carriage at a time. Behind his back a woman ran down the platform and jumped on the as...

Taking the Covid timetable out of the equation, how accurate is RTT. For example, the Northern Trains Ltd diagrams released on FOI show a 2D97 from Middlesbrough to Darlignton at 2230 weekdays but not shown on RTT. They are for the same timetable period. Which source is correct?
