Currently en route from Liverpool to Norwich with EMR. As the catering trolley reached the rear of the train, the steward knocked on the guard's door, saying 'I need a signature', and the guard duly signed something. How widespread is the practice of guards formally confirming trolleys have...

It seems EMR are now running doubled-up Class 170 units from Liverpool to Nottingham, with one continuing to Norwich. Is catering provided in both units, or if there is only one trolley, is there a policy on which unit it is available in at what stages of the journey?

I recently travelled from Lugano to Milan on a Trenord service. I have travelled with Trenord (and elsewhere in Italy) before, but this time we were in the front carriage and I observed the rather unusual despatch process, which I have never noticed previously. The guard travelled in the cab...

Some wonderful old posters are exposed on the Platform 8 Buffet building. I've suggested to NRM that they record them properly. A few examples

We have reservations on this service, which RTT is showing is running despite the ASLEF O/T ban, while some earlier services are cancelled. Can anyone with experience of LNER on previous ASLEF action days offer an informed assessment how overcrowded this train is likely to be, as reservations...

We are staying in Marseille on the night of Saturday 16th March (en route from Genoa to Paris). When I search for public transport routes to and from Hotel Le Corbusier, both on Google Maps and the RTM Route Planner, instead of the approcximately 20 minute journey by Metro M2 and Bus currently...

We have sleeper reservations on this service next month and I will appreciate feedback and advice from anyone with recent experience on the service from Milan to Sicily. In particular; 1. The train departs at 2010 but what time does boarding start? 2. I understand a bottle of water per...

PCU TFW BUSNSS ZONE I haven't used one of these since COVID, (and then I had to get a refund, as the service was a substituted Class 175). 1. Can this be bought and used in conjunction with Split Tickets that extend beyond the start and finish of the TFW service, or is it valid only with a...

Before COVID, I attempted a direct trip from Huddersfield to Edinburgh via York. Unfortunately there were problems north of Newcastle, and I had to reroute via Carlisle. I see the new TPE timetable has one southbound through service from Edinburgh (dep 1911) to Liverpool, but no northbound...

I'm aware there are circumstances when coasting is normal with electric traction, but I recent experienced it for the first time with diesel traction. A Class 150 arriving in Sheffield from Huddersfield completely shut down the engines as it entered Platform 1. I was in the second coach of...

Platform 16 at Leeds has a new rack for Access Ramps, so that there are now 5 ramps available. This prompts 2 questions: 1. Is there a platform on Network Rail with an even greater number of ramps? 2. What is the cost of not having a universal ramp specification across the network?

Having had no response to this question in the Strike Thread in the London Underground Sub Forum, I thought I'd try here. How likely is it that Interchange between Elizabeth Line and Thameslink will be possible on March 15th? Will Farringdon be open or closed? (I'm hoping to get from...

Local press reports announce the introduction of a half-hourly timetable on The Island Line in April/May. The Southwestern Railway website has no further information, and Realtime Trains has none either. Does anyone know when the timetable is to be published, or must it wait until completion...

According to Yorkshire Live, The Huddersfield Station Buffet situated on the island between Platforms 4 & 8 is to close with effect from Saturday 18th February. Apparently trade has just not recovered sufficiently since Covid for it to remain viable. I'll be getting my last breakfast there on...
