I spend quite a bit of time in the next village where mobile phone signal strength is very poor, Orange being very good though. A couple of months ago I switched from Orange to Virgin mobile for a better plan for me. I thought that I would still have a good signal as T-Mobile and Orange...

Well, I finally made my trip on Tuesday, so here's a brief trip report. I arrived at St Pancras around 1115hrs and boarded the 1142 to Margate after grabbing a £3.79 meal deal at Boots below the South Eastern platforms.:D The 390 looked the part, it was very smooth and quiet, and had plenty of...

I know similar questions to this have been asked before so no stick please :) If I am returning on the Highland Chieftain to Kings Cross (1555) and have an Advance ticket with EMT at say 1625 from St Pancras, if the Chieftain is late and I miss my northbound EMT, can I get my ECML ticket...

I am not sure if this has already been posted, I have done a limited search so sorry if it has. I was on leicester Station this morning when an Intermodal train came through heading South, I knew it was the from Peterborough direction because the Midland Main Line was closed because of a...

This week I will be travelling one way between Leicester and Farnborough via London. Will my through ticket include free underground transfer between King's Cross St Pancras and Waterloo? TIA

I have travelled over thousands of miles of the UK Rail network over the years but never been on the RH&DR. When the weather gets a little better I was thinking of getting an EMT from Leicester to St Pancras,then HS1 to Folkestone Central, bus to Hythe and then the RH&DR to Dungeness and...

Whilst watching BBC SW news it was stated that FGW were running a non stop train yesterday (13th) from PLY to PAD. I understand it completed the journey in 2hr 43mns to prove it can be done under 3 hours. Now what was the point of the journey as FGW will never realistically have hourly non...

RAIB came out with this prelim report today, I suspect what happened, but then again I am one of the worlds worst conspiracy theorists.:) http://www.raib.gov.uk/publications/current_investigations_register/100817_shap.cfm

I love Advance tickets because I am usually free to choose my time of travel and they are cheap, sometimes I have even seen first advance cheaper than standard. The Advance fares seem to be gradually creeping up in price to me, do TOCs raise the fares a notch as the day of travel becomes closer...

Guys For a change, and the first time in about 30 years I am going from WAT to Southampton and then Red Funnel ferry to East Cowes, out Tues 6th about 1230 and RTN Wed 7th about 1630-1700 from SOU. I note that Advance fares are not available to SOU, would it be better for me to purchase...

Bit of an old one here, me as well as the question:D I have an early video camera which used VHSC cassettes, the compact ones. These are now old hat and I wondered if it is easily possible to have someone transfer the images to DVD. I have some nice Class 37s in Scotland on the tapes...

Is there such a ticket? I was on the Highland Chieftain in First class and got talking to a Japanese visitor, maybe a student but not 100%. She was travelling 1st to York then she went 1st to Nottingham and Leicester and was going to Liverpool on Wednesday before going to Edinburgh, maybe...

I am thinking of going from Peterborough to Kyle of Lochalsh using a PBO-ED advance return and then using a Scotrail Club 55 ticket for the northern sectors and using the KX HST service arriving INV at 2008 hrs and missing the last INV-Kyle train. Would my INV-Kyle ticket sector still be valid...

Tomorrow I am going NUN-EUS with LM, the cost is only £3.95 with my railcard, pretty good value for 97 miles. I return on VT, still only £12.80 off peak for the 1810hrs. Whilst looking through the fares EMT fares from STP to LEI are pretty high in the 1600-1900 window whilst VT still offer...
