Hi, I'm looking to visit Sarajevo soon, but it seems that rail services have been decimated. I know that the Ploce- Mostar -Sarajevo trains are running summer only, but it seems that other than a flight it isn't possible to leave Sarajevo towards Croatia or Serbia by rail. Is this the case, or...

It appears that tonight the 21.07 Service to Sunderland was cancelled /ran ECS between Carlisle and Newcastle. It hasn't affected me, but that is a service I do use when I'm out and about with rangers or rovers. The later (last) 22.11 service to Newcastle departed as normal. However, this...

Some kid has cut down the ancient sycamore at Hadrians wall- from the BBC website "Sycamore Gap: Boy, 16, arrested after Hadrian's Wall tree felled" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-66952980 I cannot get my head around the level of spite, selfishness and lack of moral control that...

Inspired by the photograph of Bradford Exchange posted in the grubbiest stations thread, I wonder which of our active stations has seen the biggest decline? The kind of places that a young traveller today wouldn't believe were once impressive. I'll start off with Stockton.

As stated in the title. Are they being revamped/repriced? Or are they removed to discourage leisure travel? The linked pages disappeared some time last week I think. EDIT: to make clear that the page exists, just that all the links are dead ends.

This may be of interest to bus fans and photographers on here. Northern General RMF 2099 is stretching her legs on a weekday duplicate open to all passengers. For a week or two only, peak times only, on trunk service 21 from Chester-Le-Street to Gateshead and return...

Hi, I recently purchased a couple of advance tickets from the Northern Rail website. Said tickets were for the 13.15 York- Leeds, 1418 Leeds to Manchester vic, and 1555 Manchester vic to Liverpool. These were good value and delivered promptly to the 'Northern Railway' app. So far so good. On the...

Hi, I've done a search regarding advance fares and disruptions, my questions are - What are your options if your advance booked service is heavily delayed- BEFORE you board it? The CoC terms seem only to relate to during the the journey. Many months ago, I was held up by around 120 minutes in...

Having duly collected my tokens from the Hartlepool Mail/ Johnstone press day out offer, a free day between shifts presented itself as an opportunity to do some long neglected UK rail riding :-) Starting reasonably well with an on time departure from my home village Haswell at 0948, Arriva NE...

Hi folks, my daughter purchased advance first tickets from Wool to Durham for today (28th August @09.45) and back from Durham to Wool on 7th September. These were/are 16-25 railcard discounted tickets and represented superb value at £64 out and £79 return. All she had to do was turn up at...

Quick question. Traveling Newcastle to London and return on advance tickets shortly. I'll be starting at Newcastle, no problem, but would like to leave at Durham on the return journey. The advance ticket deal is from Newcastle with two nights in London. I don't mind buying a ticket...

....this courtesy of the creative folk of Slovakia http://www.webnoviny.sk/fotogaleria/novy-doubledecker-v-nitre/591888-fotografia.html Looks new (ok ok rebuilt), but seems to sport a low floor, rear staircase, rear entrance with front doorway and a less than subtle hint of Douglas Scott's...

Hi, sorry if this seems an odd question but i'd really appreciate it if anybody who has experience of any sleepers in central, eastern and southern europe (including Ukraine and Western Russia) could tell me if the compartments were fitted with electrical power sockets or not? Reason is, some...

Travelled to Edinburgh with my family yesterday (12/04) ex Durham on the 10.17. No complaints about my own journey, but I had to ask four people to move out of our reserved seats upon boarding at Durham. (Normally I wouldn't bother and felt awful asking them to move, but the train was pretty...

Hi folks, a workmate of mine is looking to travel from Hartlepool to Camberley this saturday coming, with his partner and his daughter, returning monday. He has a family railcard, but does not wish to be tied to advance tickets. He is torn between travelling by rail or driving, was put off...

Hi, am back off on my regular jaunt Durham to Wool soon. The last few times i've been, i've travelled on a weekend when possible and taken advantage of XC weekend first between Durham and Bournemouth, upgrading from a super off peak return. On my last journey home I purchased the upgrade at...

I'm pretty certain this has been discussed before, but I can't find the thread so apologies but- Travelling on two independent advance tickets, allowing adequate time for transfers, will I be scuppered if the first service arrives at the interchange station too late to catch the second? Or...

Hi, travelling on my usual Durham to Weymouth AP super off peak return soon. I know this is valid across London, but would like to know if between Kings Cross and Waterloo I can leave LUL at eg Leicester square, have a few beers then re-commence the underground journey to Waterloo? Cheers...

Hi, a couple of mates and myself are considering a day out visiting the various nice real ale pubs along the Manchester-Stalybridge-York line. The problem of course is how to do it reasonably cheaply (the trains, not the beer ;-) ). We don't want to fall victim to some arcane breaking of...

Browsing for proper diesel thrash tonight came across this vid from Bohemia showing that (unsurprisingly) crossing madness from car drivers is a global problem- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2Hl9bHn4Ck&feature=related PS- if he/she couldn't hear that coming they really should hand in...
