Hi all, I'd like to get a go on the Caledonian Sleeper before the old stock gets replaced, so I'm planning a multi-day trip to the Scottish Highlands and back for next year (2 people going, total). To make it more interesting I thought a good itinerary would be doing the ECML in one direction...

You're quite right - though I took your hint on safety, and the area did seem a bit 'off' while I was passing through. Arrived back in the UK last night after spending time at Schonefeld (10:20-10:43, 13:38-14:03), Saarmund (11:02-12:03) and Seddin (12:15-13:02) earlier in the day. Five...

Thank you very much 30907, SHD and Gordon for your suggestions! I spent some time at Pantin (10h30-11h15), Noisy le Sec (11h15-12h00) and Pont Cardinet (19h00-20h00) on Wednesday, partly on the basis that none were further than Zone 3. Lots of passenger variety, including electric locos, TGVs...

Hi all I'm in Paris until Thursday and Berlin from Friday on holiday, and I'm wondering if there is anywhere in either city where I can get a generic fill of both passenger as freight trains. I've got a half day free on Wednesday in Paris and it would be nice to hang around somewhere for a...

Hi gray1404, Thank you very much for your reply - that is useful. I'm glad to hear it is possible! Robert

Hi all, I'm looking to travel from Birmingham New Street to Hook and return over the next couple of days. I'd like to leave Birmingham tomorrow morning (Sunday) such that I can be in St Pancras by 11:35, and then travel on to Hook in the evening. Then, on Monday, I'd like to travel from Hook to...

I'm off to Brussels for work in June, and I'd like if possible to travel on both the old (Class 373) and new (e320) trains. When booking, is there a way of knowing which type of train is allocated to which service/diagram? Seat61.com says that you can tell by the number of coaches -...

Five days a week, 9 to 5/6. 25 days of holiday, but can't be certain how it's going to be spread. Should be ok, I think I've got enough 'float' to cushion the blow. Would rather avoid it. Definitely would be a plus if I can get it cancelled/replaced. Paper tickets of such value seem...

Thank you very much for that comparison. I won't be requiring tube/bus on my commute to Charing Cross, no. On the other hand, having the whole of Zones 1-2 included would make it much more flexible. Is the extra £3.25 a week worth it, versus using a normal Oyster for any other travel...

Thank you very much, that explains it. Is this anywhere on their website?

Hi, I've got a Birmingham Stations to London Terminals Off Peak Return (Adult, 16-25) for the 24th, with the validity code 2C. Looking at this code, my options on the WCML exclude arriving at "London Euston after 07:19 and before 11:30" and departing "London Euston after 04:29 and before...

Hi, I'm going to be working in London next year from June 2015 to June 2016 as part of my degree, and I'm look for ways to pay for my commute in. I'll be in the Lewisham area, and I'll be going into Charing Cross. As far as tickets go, I gather the best way to do it is by using an 18+ Student...

Hi all, Travelling from Hook to Brighouse and return tomorrow to pick up a car (want a return to be safe if the car isn't roadworthy), which means I'm going to have to bite the bullet of on-the-day or just before ticket prices. I have a memory of Grand Central undercutting East Coast on...
