Does anyone know an email address to contact Transport for Wales with a query about buses? If I follow the links on their web site all I can find is lots of TfW Rail stuff, and email addresses for Fflecsi, Trawscymru and traveline.... (And before someone points it out, this is something...

Does anyone happen to know if there is a good schematic map of passenger rail services in the US and Canada, showing local systems as well as longer distance services with Amtrak and VIA etc? Years ago I bought a paper map like that for Australia - obviously a much easier map to produce - but...

There's been a bit in the media recently about rogue locksmiths who will charge ludicrious amounts of money dealing with emergencies. I don't currently have a problem but thinking ahead here, does anyone happen to know if membership in the MLA (Master Locksmiths Association) is sufficient to...

A few Flixbus cross-channel services appear to be routed through the channel tunnel rather than on ferries between France and the UK. I presume though that since this is just something you can see when looking at the route details rather than being specifically stated on booking that they are...

I've just discovered that TfW offer "Advance Flex Returns" - fixed train for the outward journey but anything you like for the return on the same day (so long as it's TfW). I can't see anything on here about them but possibly I'm not seaching well enough. This isn't a fare type I've come...

Does anyone know how to get the Royal Mail to stop dumping parcels on my front doorstep? I don't want them in a SafePlace(TM) and this isn't a safe place anyway. Of course when I complain they apologise and say they'll make sure it doesn't happen again. Then it does. I'm sure it's not great...

Hello. I'm sure this must be out there but I'm failing to find it. Does anyone know where I can find a seating map for Cross Country Voyagers showing which window seats actually have a view out of the window? Would be most grateful if someone can help.

I was buying a ticket on the TfW Rail web site this morning and just before paying I resized my browser window - at which point I discovered that doing this wipes out all the progress and sends you back to the search screen. I experimented with two different browsers and they both did this, and...

I've just seen an upcoming model of some GER (liveried) "Jazz" 4 wheel coaches, and was surprised to see a very thick yellow line under the roof for the first class coach. The description says: https://www.accurascale.com/products/genesis-4w-great-eastern-railway-jazz-crimson-lake-pack-a I...

Mod Note: Posts #1 - #8 originally in this thread. It does rather feel as if there might be a workable solution that's a bit more passenger friendly. If they're playing the "it's what other countries do" card, maybe one could point them to countries where the staff are a bit more diligent...

The Man in Seat 61 says: Does anyone know anything about plans for Vienna to Belgrade, i.e. who would be operating it and with what stock?

TfW are ending their JourneyCheck alerts for disruption. Does anyone know if this because JourneyCheck are ending the service, or something specific to TfW? They suggest using the web or their app but neither seem to offer disruption notifications.

As I'm sure many people here know, the RENFE web site isn't as useful as it could be as a journey planner, with entirely separate sections for "Cercanias" (suburban) services and longer distance ones, and a certain lack of interest in offering connections. But curiously RENFE also have a web...

I've tried searching for this but not found anything useful... Can anyone tell me if the ATP fitted parts of the Great Western Main Line also have AWS "ramps", or do they rely now entirely on trains having ATP/ETCS?

I came across a few two and even one coach loco hauled trains in Romania this summer. Where else can one find such short loco hauled trains running these days on regular passenger services? (I'm not so interested in special cases like the Snowdon Mountain Railway - I'm thinking of trains that...

Does anyone know how all the manoeuvring is carried out for the bogie change at Ungheni when travelling on the Bucharest to Chișinău train? Not too easy to see from the inside (or to remember everything that went on), and I haven't been able to piece things together from Youtube videos. I...

I have in the past caught direct trains between Cardiff and Nottingham. The pdf timetable I found on the Crosscountry web site suggests there should still be such a service. But I can't find any on travel planners which are suggesting a rather convoluted route. I don't find the CrossCountry...

Seatfrog is currently offering 1st class upgrades on the 18:30 Manchester to Cardiff on 29th July. It looks from the pdf timetable as if this train should have 1st class. But the TfW journey planner isn't showing first class fares, and says there's no catering of any kind. Any idea what's...

Well....as per the title....what would a lorry be doing on an open wagon coupled to a road-rail digger in Switzerland? Any ideas?

Does anyone know what the prices are for 1st class upgrades on the TfW Mk 4 services? The web site mentions on-train upgrades (as well as seatfrog - isn't that some kind of auction site?) but doesn't appear to have prices.
