Does anybody know what the diagrams are likely to be after the timetable change on Sunday? I am planning on making a couple of bookings down to the South West for February and would prefer to be on an HST.

I noticed last week that Northern were advertising two Meet the Directors sessions in South Yorkshire. These will take place at Sheffield station on Wednesday 19th Sept 1600-1900 and Meadowhall station on Monday 24th Sept 1500-1900. You will have the opportunity to meet the safety director Gary...

Currently onboard Hull Trains' 180101 (GC hire in) and noticed when boarding that there was quite a bit of damage to the bodywork at the very rear of the train, with two large holes! The train was late arriving into Hull but left ontime. Does anybody know what happened?

I wouldn't normally be so lazy with my Googling but I need some information quite quickly! Currently en route to Liverpool for a flight this evening, am hoping to spend a few hours at Speke Hall but wondering if there are any bus links from South Parkway today? I don't mind walking a bit. Also...

Just to warn people, there are currently no trains running between Sheffield and Doncaster due to flooding at Conisbrough. Buses are replacing trains but there is currently no estimate as to when these will commence.

When the GC Bradford service first started it carried more fresh air than passengers, but it seems to be growing ever more popular. I noticed a significant crowd on platform 1 at Donny this morning waiting for the 0831 to London, and I was staggered at how busy the train was when it left. It was...

I accept this isn't technically NR General Discussion, but I feel this should be posted in a more prominent section of the forum. My sympathies go out to the family of the worker who has tragically been killed at Grosmont on the NYMR. It appears that he became trapped between two trains...

Surprised nobody has posted about the signalling problems in the Sheffield area. Has been absolute chaos since about 1900, trains diverting via Tinsley away from Meadowhall but with severe delays. Information from Northern utter rubbish with people stuck at Meadowhall. No announcements about the...

We are currently experiencing problems with both of our apps. We are looking into the problem and will rectify it as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

A friend has had her purse stolen and is travelling tomorrow from Sheffield to Peterborough. She bought the ticket online from EC but hasn't collected it yet, but the card it was booked on is now gone. She called EC customer services who said she would have to pay to travel to Doncaster (nearest...

Surprised nobody has posted about the issues on the ECML. Some trains appear to be delayed by over 2 hours!

It is evident that there are a significant number of industry insiders/professionals who read and contribute to RailUK, so this would seem like the ideal place to ask for help. I am in the third year of a four year University course in Town Planning, which will give me a masters qualification...

I am shortly going to attempt to purchase a train and bus day system one card outside of the GMPTE area. Could somebody please help me out with the relevant code the ticket issuer will need? Thanks :)

Any ideas as to what's happening with Grand Central's reservations? They have been booking up to Tuesday 27th March (quite a random date) for a while now, whilst EC and HT are open up to mid-April. I am hoping to book an AP for 11th April.

Any ideas as to why a DBS 66 would have been on the Hull-Scarborough line? Just saw one on the rare curve by the KC Stadium, just to the west of Paragon station.

Dear Members, 2011 has been an extremely successful year for RailUK Forums. We have seen unprecedented growth in the number of active members and the number of posts being made across the forum. However, we always like to hear from you and we recently undertook our annual satisfaction survey...

2 travelling, one return and one just in one direction (on the return). Out on 31st Dec and back on 1st Jan, both with 16-25 railcards. I would prefer flexibility rather than advance tickets. Currently can't find any decent splits for the return ticket, have got the single down to £20.70...

According to the EMT website there will be additional trains between Derby and Lincoln on the Friday and Saturday of the Christmas Market weekend. Does anybody know whether these are booked to be HSTs as they have been in the past, and what the timings will be? I note that, unlike in previous...

I am fairly confident from looking at the routeing guide that Moothorpe could take Wakefield as a routeing point for a journey to Durham. It appears to pass the fare check rule and does not violate any of the other criteria for choosing a succcessful routeing point. This would undoubtably make...

Any ideas why FGW 158766 was stabled at Sheffield this morning?
