Have been at Edinburgh and the station has been evacuated due to a suspected fire. Can still hear the PA system saying that trains are being delayed due to a fire, except for one CrossCountry service to Aberdeen which is being announced as delayed due to a "fault on this train". Is it just a...

It seems there are a lot of AI-generated images circulating social media of the five feral teenagers, as well as "baloon" [sic] and fireworks displays planned for this week, the same grotesque way that it was in Ireland. Also one member of the family has said that the police are the "murderers"...

I had one earlier from Great "West" Railway on a Plymouth number talking about a delay repay claim from June this year saying I had put a claim in for a journey from Newquay to Brighton. They went through train times (none of which existed) and that I had to have changed in Gloucester and...

Stayed in a Travelodge last night in St Albans and they have a new app for checking in and obtaining your room key, but it is absolutely useless. There were a number of tries to check in and it kept coming up that the room wasn't ready (at 0230 in the morning as well!). The staff at the hotel...

I have just passed Selhurst (well the train actually stopped) and seen this: (Image shows a CIS display showing * PLEASE STAND CLEAR * OF THE PLATFORM EDGE on Sunday) Is there any other weird notices you've seen on CIS over the years?

Carlisle has them on the Tyne Valley/Settle bay platforms and I think Manchester Piccadilly has them as well. Don't all terminating platforms (ie non-through lines) have them or have had them in the past?

It does actually have a warning on there:

Oh I feel old! I remember Legoland Windsor as Windsor Safari Park!

Travelodge Leeds Central Stayed here last week for one night and have no complaints at all except that first thing in the morning around 7am there were some contractors in the hallway outside of my room putting plastic wrap over the carpets but they didn't make too much noise. Only around a...

Would the Metrolink between Deansgate Junction/Navigation Road to Altrincham be affected by the disruption as isn't this section signalled by Network Rail?

Yes, points and crossovers at Woking apparently.

Some SWR services from Portsmouth to Waterloo are being diverted today via London Road Guildford and the "new line" not calling at Woking. Travelled this morning around 1030 from Portsmouth & Southsea and was told the train wouldn't stop at Woking. We were diverted between Guildford and...

According to RTT there is a Pandolino heading to Paddington for an event there with a 57 and an 80x. Not sure if it is right or not or whether it is a mistake in the data. Image shows a screenshot from RealtimeTrains showing a Claas 390 operating from West Ealing Loop to Paddington Station.

There used to be a Blackpool Transport bus between Preston and Fleetwood that went into a military camp, up to the houses there and then turn back on itself. Passengers could stay on board as it went through the security gates and into the compound. I don't think the bus runs anymore.
