Hi, Back on the 30th June, my friend went to Exeter Central, with intents to purchase a day return ticket from St James Park to Pinhoe for the following Sunday (1st July). This was to complete a set of other tickets for a day trip to London Waterloo, the rest of the tickets having been bought...

Hi all, Just been thinking about this in my head, and wondered what the official stance on it was. If two people wished to use a flexible ticket starting at different locations using an undiscounted ticket to one common destination, and then from that common destination wished to use a...

Hello, On February 16th I was doing a Southern DaySave ticket, but unfortunately the 1903 service from Hove to Havant was cancelled. This was the last train to connect with my other (valid) connections to get home to Pinhoe/Exeter Central. Staff eventually advised me to go via London Victoria...

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/pre884ec0a04000200ad4c9439053fea.aspx The Devon Day Ranger is now listed as ONLY valid on GWR services, despite having validity for, what are in regular service, SWR-only routes. I think this all might be a mistake.

I was browsing the Rovers and Rangers section on the National Rail website, and noticed these odd listings in the list. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/183893.aspx http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/183900.aspx They are named "SS0", and "SS4 Day Ranger", presumably for one...

I recently planned a trip to do a West Midlands Day Ranger, noting that all TOCs (even Northern) are valid to use it with. However, someone has now brought it to my attention that the ticket is not valid on Virgin Trains WC services, updated on 19th February 2018. Is this an error, or will...

I have no idea how I found this, but it seems a good few Belgian, German, and Dutch cities have been added to RTT! http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/LIEGE?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/AACHEN?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt...

Looks like Chiltern Railways are changing their logo, this was just set as their Facebook profile picture a few hours ago: https://www.facebook.com/chilternrailway/photos/a.489089506347.295538.69249496347/10155493649951348 It seems to incorporate the new Arriva logo too. Can't say I'm a fan...

Hello, http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O23269/2017/08/29/advanced Spotted this working through Clapham Junction today, and was wondering two things. Firstly why was it working on this route, it seems to be the only service that worked this way, and it doesn't appear to happen on...

Fleet List: Original Post: Hello, as the new franchise launch rapidly approaches, I thought we could do with a thread similar to the GWR and TPE ones. I noticed a return move for 158886 was taking place today, going via Exeter. I would assume this is a unit in the new livery...

Hello, I was heading North towards Worcester Shrub Hill from Bristol Temple Meads today, and was routed behind a stopping service, meaning we crawled very slowly out of Bristol Temple Meads. I had heard of a Class 50 being based at Barton Hill, so turned to look at it when I saw a two car...

Shortly (19/05) I will be heading to London (and Aylesbury) with the intention of going on a few items of rolling stock I have not travelled on previously. On this trip I am going to cover Class 121s and Class 379s, which are easy to find, but one thing occured to me, what routes exactly do...

https://www.facebook.com/Railmagazine/posts/1298717800221039 Looks like the Exeter Olds View depot is to be massively redeveloped come 2019. Does anybody know which stock this upgrade will be for? The sheds seem quite long, so I am assuming that it is for either Hitachi AT300s, or HST...

http://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/train-crash-near-gloucester-station-causing-long-delays-while-investigation-on-going/story-30056676-detail/story.html Same unit as in the HST crash about a year ago (now temporarily reformed as 150938). Hope everyone is okay.

About a year ago I was on an ICE3 service between Brussels Midi/Zuid and Köln Hbf, and at some points the driver frosted up the screen. Is there any reason that the screen was frosted up at these locations? Are there specific locations at which the screen is to be frosted up? If so, why...

I catch a SWT Class 158/159 to Exeter Central to get to college, and notice the front doors on these units is always locked. At Exeter Central, sometimes the driver releases the front door, but why bother locking this door out of use? It means that only 75% of doors are usable on a 2 car set...

Hello, does anybody have a complete list of Night Riviera stock that is used (or to be used) by GWR, including what type of carriage they are (BSO, TSO, RSB, SLEP)? Thanks.

Hello, I am looking for cheap tickets for these Eurostar services on the 18th November from Exeter, and I was wondering what the best and cheapest way to purchase tickets for this would be? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/L13121/2016/11/18/advanced...

It doesn't make sense, as everything else assigned one has the ability to move on its own, but yet these Mk2s received Class 488. Why? :|

Hello, came across this working on RTT, anybody know what's up? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O23198/2016/08/27/advanced :D
