Inspired by this thread. Discuss. :)

Chiltern's changes to train times site says about Bank Holiday Monday 28th May: Can anyone confirm the Loco Hauled sets will be working the normal Saturday diagrams? Specifically the 1110 ex-Marylebone.

Been a while since I posted one of my videos in here, so I hope you enjoy this one... London to Brussels on this trip took an eye-wateringly quick 1h47m. (6 minutes late into Amsterdam thanks to an unfavourable regulation decision *right outside* the station!)

Just spotted this: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/G10178/2018/06/15/advanced Anyone know why it's pathed as a diesel locomotive trailing a load? Some other diagrams that day for the same route, with Scotrail, show pathing for a 158, such as...

Hi all, I'm taking a trip on the Far North Line from Wick to Inverness this summer. I understand it's 158s on this line now. I know the trains only convey standard class but is there any declassified first class accommodation available? It is four and a half hours... Cheers.

Looks like VTEC managed to actually provide catering on my trip. It’s hit and miss these days!

Perhaps I’m missing something, but why isn’t this ticket available for purchase today? http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=NCL&dest=MKC&rlc=DIS&ldn=1&tkt=SSU

Not making the location or TOC public here, but this just happened: I just witnessed an EMU depart a station with no tail lamp - that is, no red light displayed on the rear of the train, and instead its white lights were lit at the rear. This train terminates at this station and has a short...

NRE and all ticketing sites suggest this train can be travelled on with an Off Peak Day Travelcard. The restriction, C0, suggests this train is not valid to arrive into Kensington Olympia before 0950. Barrier staff have refused me access based on the restriction and not taken into account...

Hi all, About to make a journey to Hastings on an Off Peak Day Return (Any Permitted). Which routes except the obvious can I take? Can I go via Brighton? Would look this up myself but am on a phone... Cheers

Hi guys, I've seen a Social Media Manager vacancy come up (seems to be a re-advertisement, actually) at Greater Anglia. If anyone here is currently working for Greater Anglia or at Romford ROC in any capacity, can any of you assist me? This role would require me to relocate. I've been...

Edited this one very quickly so it might have a few rough edges... Enjoy!

Hi guys, Can anyone send (PM if need be) the phone number of GA recruitment? I can see a job advertised on Reed and LinkedIn, but it isn't on their website. I need to know if they're still recruiting for it - it could be a broken link. Cheers

Hi all, Just a question of curiosity really (I am not a bus spotter or enthusiast!), as I'm planning a cheapo journey on Sunday 15th October from London to Bristol. Does Megabus operate double decker vehicles on this route? Is there any way of me telling what sort of vehicle will operate...

Hello! I own and run a YouTube channel which focuses on air and rail travel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuKzSNb8hGV9DsqIBUb79w In October, I'll be making a video of the GWR Pullman service, and I'll be heading from Paddington to Par (and thence to Newquay). It'll be a kind of vlog...

Just entered the VTWC Lounge at Euston. As I entered, there's a really upset guy arguing with the two women managing the entrance. It seems as though he has a First Anytime/Off Peak Return, as he says "I got a month to use this ticket". He has presented an inactivated mobile ticket to the...

Last month I had the privilege of taking the Amtrak Empire Builder between Portland and Chicago. Here's a trip report: 7UgIQKtLEIw Hope you all enjoy the video. NB: this video is monetised on YouTube and you may see ads for which I will earn a (very) small commission.

We've recently been offered, through work, the opportunity to book this fare: http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=EUS&dest=GLC&grpo=1072&grpd=0433&rte=474&tkt=WC3 It's available only through certain travel agencies (ours is Redfern). This is essentially a VTWC Only Standard Class...

Just a bit of trivia. Which services on the network are two hourly, or less?
