Its coming up to that time of the year where I go for a wander around Great Britain using the ever useful BritRail ticket. I've 12 days to play with and my aims for this year are roughly as follows.. (changes are made on the hoof to suit mood and energy levels!) London: Heathrow Express, last...

I'm happy with the delay anyway, gives me a chance to catch the 3 HEx Class 332s that I am missing.

Thanks!

Is 313122 (low back seating) still in service? Its the only one I am missing!

Brilliant! Thank for the information - exactly what I wanted. S

Half right! The 'M-Pass' is available for the 'regional' BritRail passes - so I used a BritRail England M-Pass last summer. The All Lines' pass, simply called the 'BritRail Pass' is not currently available as an electronic M-Pass. It was a bit hit and miss - the QR style barcode on my phone...

Yup - I got it last summer! 1H40 03:37 Northern service from Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Airport Class 156 unit.

I have just returned from the UK after an 8 day BritRail tour. They do a 'low season pass' which is On sale: October 17th, 2018 - February 22nd, 2019. Passes are valid for travel between November 1st, 2018 - February 28th, 2019. Excellent value at €292 in 1st class. I managed 201 individual...

I have downloaded the DLR working times from https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/dlr_working_timetable_5 and I can successfully view the files. Can anyone help with the data format? The file has no column headers to help. Clearly each entry is a set of operation instructions for a 'move'...

I bagged a number of Class 313s at the weekend. The number of 'train people' travelling up and down was noticeable!

Similar experience with me. Approached a while ago, although the staff member was after the guy nearby me! He was using a 'mono-pod' and then argued the toss that the rules were against tri-pods! While not taking sides, the staff member was smiley and polite and I don't see the point of...

And if you keep going you'll be capped anyway. When I am in London I usually try and tag in and out within the 2 hours, but its never an issue as I get to the cap anyway So the Zone 1 Daily Anytime cap is £6.80 compared to a TravelCard at £12.70. The saving is not the same pro-rata as you go...

It states that it is only valid in the single country noted! But, on investigation further, it does indeed cover the island. So thanks for your advice! I accept that 'Ireland' presents practical issues! and is so piddly small its not on anyones radar! Thanks for the help Interestingly it...

I am intending to travel in Ireland using a single country Ireland pass. I travel on an Irish passport, resident in Northern Ireland - the UK (please no politics!) Anyone any experience of what sort of supporting documentation is needed, so that I am not seen as 'travelling in country'. Is...

Class 168?
