Okay, so I'm spending New Year in Scotland with my significant other :P Going up on Wednesday 28th and coming back Monday 2nd, and the off peak return between Salisbury and Edinburgh looks good at £94.30 with railcard for those dates. I'm kind of planning to stay the whole day on Monday up...

What the title says basically. On November 11, 2007, there was a big shakeup of midlands franchises, thus: London Overground took over Silverlink's London suburban routes London Midland took over the rest of Silverlink and the Birmingham-centric parts of Central Trains Midland Mainline...

So at 22.20 tonight I saw the headlights of something sat with the engine in the southbound passing loop just up the track from my house in Kenilworth. It was waiting for a Voyager to pass it heading northbound, at which point it turned its engine on (which made a distinctive...

Thought I'd spin this off into a new thread so it gets more attention :P I know the answer's probably on the forum somewhere but the search function is unhelpful when your query contains more than one word... Basically I've booked standard advance singles on this itinerary with a 16–25...

I'm almost certainly going to be visiting a certain someone in Edinburgh weekend after next. And as you can imagine I want as much time up there as possible :D So with this in mind, I want a return with railcard (advances are fine) from Coventry to Haymarket on the weekend of 12/13 November...

Given the preponderance of generic topics in this subforum (it is called General Discussion after all) I thought I'll add another. Body modifications. Got 'em? Want 'em? Wish you were rid of 'em? Basically I ask because for some reason I really want this kind of ear piercing: but I've never...

So I get the general gist from the internet grapevines that FGW are planning on upgrading the Melksham line from 2tpd to 1tp2h (which will require at least one extra unit), but I can't find anything concrete on it here, on their website, with Network Rail, the DfT or ORR. The best I can find is...

In the first couple of years of Virgin Trains there was a summer Saturday service to Ramsgate from varying northern destinations. The calling pattern was, I believe: [as today from Birmingham] Reading Kensington Olympia Bromley South Chatham Faversham Margate Ramsgate I can't work...

I'm in Durham at the moment. I was here for a conference but it's made me so upset that I just want to go home and get the hell away from this right now. :( But I've spent/wasted so much money to be here, I don't want to waste more leaving early. So, for as cheap as possible, can you get me...

So I was browsing the Track Access requests on Network Rail's website (which are now accessed via the tiny link that says "documents"), seeing what changes might be coming up at the next timetable when I found Alliance Rail's official application for GNWR. Euston–Leeds/Bradford...

Not going to have any internet (other than mobile) for the next month so I'm going to keep this simple. I'm going to be moving house three times in the next two months. Going from either Coventry or Leamington (I'll be living in Kenilworth at the time) from Mon Sept 5 till Thur Sept 8. I have...

Looking at the Routeing Guide, it only says that I am permitted to travel on permitted maps via any route I can trace without doubling back. But the thing is, this seems to allow the following: Coventry to London is valid on map CS. I can trace...

I need to go from Coventry to Salisbury* on Saturday 9 July at 16.00 or later. Thanks to Evergreen, there's no service between Banbury and Oxford (booking engines are very reluctant to send me that way, although I notice it's not listed in the future engineering works on NRE). Basically that...

Saturdays from mid-July, EMT are going to run a HST from Derby to Skegness and back. Departs Derby at 0753, is in Skegness from 1044 till 1126, gets back to Derby at 1420. Thing is, then what does this train do? It's not scheduled to go onto the MML, and there's nowhere else in the East Midlands...

Basically I'm referring to those services where a unit works one service, and then a completely different service, and they're shown as a single service. Some results (e.g. Birmingham-Chester-Manchester) can be weirder than others (e.g. Nottingham-Birmingham-Bournemouth). Is there any rule...
