Hello, thanks a lot. Are these diagrams valid from Monday to Sunday or are there restricted diagrams on weekends? Regards The passenger aka Phil

Hello all together, first of all happy easter to everyone here. My boss told me, that a couple of days of my annual vacation from 2012 are still left, so I've to spend these days in the next weeks. I've decided to make my surprising spring vacation in the UK. As I am an enthusiast of night...

Hello there! Maybe it sounds silly, but am I right, that these restrictions are just temporarily during "the games" or will they implemented until further notice due to low usage? Thanks for any information. Best regards The passenger (from the very far South of Germany)

Hello and good evening, usually you've no problems to make pictures of trains, if you are on public territory. For train enthusiasts there should be also some press release on the DB website, but I can't find it at the moment. Sometimes the police (esp. 'Bundespolizei') and the DB owned...

Hello there, I was just popping in and saw, that someone travels to Bavaria. What a good idea. :) Munich is one of the most important railway centres in Germany. A visit to the Hauptbahnhof (central station) is always reliable, because you can see departing and arriving trains nearly every...

Hello and good evening, for long time I was looking around here in many threads, because I'm planning to cross the channel once more this year to see what's new on Britians tracks. Preparing a small tour it'll be interesting, I've some questions about the actual haulage of trains in the UK...

Hello there! Thank you very much for your help. I think the West Highland line and the Far North line are a 'must have' on my tour. It's also good to know, that a huge variety of rolling stock is on the track. Once more thanks a lot for your help, which was much appreciated. Best...

Hello! Sorry for once again asking questions about various train services, but in my neighbourhood there is nobody who is able to help me. In about Mai/June 2009 I'm planning to make once more a rail tour to the UK. Just to make an 'ordinary' journey like taking a Pendolino on the WCML is a...

Hello all together! First of all thank you for your replies and help. So I think, it'll be a surprise, if 86101 is still in operation for Hull Trains when I'm in the UK. But what's life without surprises??? ;-) I've heard from german rail enthusiasts with knowledge about british trains...

Hello, after your great help for planning my trip to the UK in April, I've one more question about haulage of some special services on the ECML. As certainly known Hull Trains operates on some weekend services a loco hauled train with 86101 and Mk3-coaches. At the moment it's quite...

Hello and good evening! After reading all your replies I have to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH to all of you! If my boss sings my vacations request ;) , my trip will be on the middle of April (but not for 100% sure - could be May too). After all your advises I will consider to redirect my route, but...
