It's interesting to consider if all the space was used up up Temple Mills, perhaps one operator or even HS1 would consider building a new depot.

I should have mentioned that, in the article, Virgin are quoted as saying they want to get underway quickly as they assume it will be 'first come, first served' No I don't think they have, but in a message to potential investors from July, it says the following: Which sounds specific for those...

I took European Sleeper from Prague to Brussels in a 6-person couchette recently. trip from Prague to Brussels on European Sleeper Overall impression was positive!

I did have an issue on a return Leeds-Utrecht journey where the return journey was cancelled in advance. There was an email advising me of this and a click through to the website to re-book... Whereupon the original journey I had booked, at the same times, was available to rebook on! Sometimes...

Hello forumers, I just stumbled across this thread as I was looking for info on whether Flixbus served Folkestone? It's listed on the drop down menu on the app, but not sure there are any services stopping there. Someone told me Flixbus used the motorway service area just off the M20 by...

I travelled on Lille-Lyon TGV last week and was asked for ID although I did have an e-ticket. I think the ID was to check that I was the named holder of the carte avantage but I can't be too sure.

Yes, I asked TfW on Twitter and they said that the timetables hadn't been finalised for after 12th September yet. But it would be unfortunate if the one time when I need to be in the area I can't use the train...

I'm currently trying to plan a trip on the Cambrian Line to Criccieth in the week 13th-20th September, but there don't seem to be any trains at all running that week! Very confused.

A friend and I were trying to work out which the most recently reopened station was that met the following criteria: -Must be in England -Must be located on wholly new line (i.e. not on a converted freight line, or on a loop constructed off existing line) -Must be a replacement for a formerly...

Yes potentially, as a branch off of the Barcelona - Zürich Nightjet in the first instance. Might not be necessarily Nightjet though. ISTR the previous overnight service was Renfe/SNCF operated. Although Renfe doesn't look like it will return to the night train game anytime soon, it's possible...

I have spent some time wondering if a Barcelona - Perpignan - Montpellier - Valence TGV - Grenoble - Torino - Milano service would make sense running via Valence TGV-Grenoble direct chord (which currently sees no regular use) and Montmélian chord. This might be quicker than via Lyon which would...

As I understand, the reason the Hexham service runs past Nunthorpe to Danby is because the National Park Centre is there. I took that train last Saturday, 2 passengers got off at Battersby, 3 of us got off at Danby with a similar number waiting for the return...

This was a new service originally planned to call at Liverpool Lime Street, Huyton, Manchester Victoria, Rochdale, Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, Halifax, Bradford Interchange. It was due to begin in December 2019 but there was no guarantee of it going as far as Leeds. It's far from guaranteed this...

A few years ago, perhaps 2013, I got on the Sundays Only Metrocentre-Darlington at Stockton, 142-operated, for Teesside Airport. I was the only passenger on board until Eaglescliffe.

I have it written down on my aide-mémoire post-it that there should eventually be 18 150s in 3-car formation and 54 in 2-car formation. Although that information comes from the Franchise agreement so may now be out of date.

Had 155347 on a busy service to Knaresborough on Friday 24th, which it was working sans 153.20180424_133910 by Frothy posted 24 Apr 2018 at 14:47 The legroom is still tight as ever! I think the top part of the seat cover will dirty quite easily, being a lighter shade.

Just seen this run through Headingley as a 9 car set!
