Thanks for your help. As we have a suitcase each I think we will walk it

Is the transfer from the Circle/Metropoliton platforms to the Bakerloo platforms difficult as on the TFL Journey Planer gives every journey from St Pancras to Marylebone walks from Baker Sreet rather that a underground transfer.

They often check tickets between the Medway Towns and Gravesend on HS1 trains.

Update re Hastngs. A 132/33kV feed was provided at Hastings at the time of the East Coastway Electrification from Brighton to Ore (1930?). When the Tonbridge Hastings Line was electrified a 33kv connection was made from this circuit to a 33/11kV Transformer in the St Leonards area and then an...

My apologies to transportphoto. Trainline show a complete ticket as £27.00 including a £7.50 Sittingbourne to Gillingham undiscounted ticket which makes the Anytime Day Return quoted by Traunline at £19.50, which is what I am querying. I dont really want to get my Grandaughter into a...

With all respect to Watershed and his comments about a valid itinery, I fail to see how a Anytime Day Return from Gillingham (Kent) to Gunnersbury ( the ticket quoted by Trainline) which according to BT Fares costs £51.80 how that discounts to £19:50. the only fare on BR fares that could...

My Grand-daughter needs to travel from Sittingbourne (SIT) to Gunnersbury (GUN) via London Victoria (VIC), Clapham Junction (CLJ) and Richmond (RMD) on a three day a week basis. She holds a 16 - 25 Railcard. Flexibility in train time is regarded as necessary but needs to travel out between 6:30...

Somewhere on this Forum I have seen reference to stations considered as a London Terminal Station with a London Terminals with HS1, specifically Farringdon, which included a Appendix from National Rail, but after much searching I have been unable to locate it. I am hoping that some of the more...

Dont forget the steam workings in the Dampfbahn Furka Bergstrecke, running from Realp to Oberwald. It uses the mountain section of the Furka Oberalp Bahn t aht was abandoned when the Furka Base Tunnel opened. The FO is now merged into the MGB. The locos date from the 1913 and a large part of the...

In the 1970s there were always quite a few BR Specials on a May Saturday arrive at Spalding for the Flower Festival and Parade. Southern Region would usually provide two or three, at least one normally a pair of Hastings Diesels, the second usually a pair of Class 33s. Routes round London were...

Bad Schandau has a vintage tramway operation, the Kirnitzschtalbahn utilising a mixture of old tramcars from various sources in Germany. https://www.rvsoe.de/verkehrsmittel/kirnitzschtalbahn

Whilst Javelins normally reconfigure at stations when the Faversham to St Pancras run through Ebbsfleet non-stop they do reconfigure on the move.

Thanks for all your suggestions. Much appreciated. Will actually be travelling early afternoon on the Underground so if he goes that way theer should be no problem.

My grandson is travelling from Sittingbourne to Bournemouth on Sunday with a Super Off Peak Return (He returns late on Thursday) and on Sunday has been routed Sittingbourne to London Bridge, (Southeastern) London Bridge to Paddington via the underground Paddington to Reading (GWR) and finally...

Should South Eastern ticket machines be fairer to customers. For example at Sittingbourne on the "home screen" the first ticket offered is an "Off Peak Day Return" to St Pancras (including High Speed) at a cost of £32.60. However this fare is only necessary for two off peak services every...
