Does anyone have any clue why GWR wouldn't refund 100%? The ticket...

    SWR 10 Coach Train from Salisbury to Waterloo

    I see SWR ran a 10 coach train on the 0921 from Salisbury to Waterloo and back on the 1120 Waterloo to Salisbury. They used 2x159 and 2x158 which I've never seen done before in service. Is this the first 10 car working between Salisbury and Waterloo?

    SWR Diesel Stock WiFi

    Does anyone know why SWR WiFi on their 158's and 159's is SO much better than on any of their other units and also so much better than GWR, given they are both First run companies? Also, why can't all train WiFi be the standard of that on SWR diesel stock, as it works amazingly even in rural...

    GWR stock swaps using West of England line

    I see this week that, I assume due to the Westbury closure, GWR are using the West of England line to swap out 158s by running the Barnstaple-Axminster train on to Salisbury empty. This train then forms a service train to Pompey. One of the Pompey trains then returns empty to Exeter also via the...

    NationalRail.co.uk not allowing choice of ticket retailers when booking journeys to enable shorter connection times

    Split from: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/lner-fare-not-bookable-on-lner.261697/ The forum site can't sell many tickets I use as it doesn't allow shorter cross London journey times.. unlike nat rail which has this option. The issue with the new nat rail site is that it insists I buy from...

    Does anyone know the routing this train took today due to the Hungerford fatality. GWR said it was non-stop Taunton to Reading but it definitely called at Castle Cary and Westbury and the next time I checked Traksy it was on the eastbound approach to Keynsham and I'm trying to work out how it...
