Really?! Can you post a pic of same, and the date when it was sent? Obviously, please be sure to obscure any name or ID info.

Just how far does the A66 now follow a former railway alignment up in the Lake District?

That wouldn't happen on a departure from London Paddington!

The unpaid fare, if just for a single journey from Gloucester to Cheltenham Spa, is £6.30 (adult) or £3.15 (child, i.e. under 16). Even a first class annual season ticket between the two stations wouldn't be that much. Something doesn't seem to quite add up.

Question... Where's the next stop after Potters Bar on a Northbound train at or around 0834 on a Monday morning? Won't be Welwyn Garden City, will it?

Righto! Can get itineraries offered by NRE from Selby to York, with a single 13 minute change at Leeds, priced at £10.10, which just happens to be the Anytime Day Single fare from Selby to York, i.e. route 'Any Permitted', and doesn't seem to be a combination of tickets. What's going on? Is...

Welcome to the forum! How frequently will you be travelling between Leeds and York? A standard 7 day season ticket is £75.70, or £59.10 if restricted to travelling on Northern Only.

Trackside fire in the Canley area (between Coventry and Birmingham International).

The Avanti journey check (weblink) now looks to be saying that the line has re-opened? No doubt there'll be some residual delays. Extract...

Well, 446,000 litres (of spilt fuel) has to be at least 330 tons in weight alone, hasn't it, maybe more than that? Several tankers!

'Metroland' is also being featured on tonight's repeated episode (Series 1 Episode 5) of "The Architecture the Railways Built", on BBC4 TV, a little earlier at 7.00 p.m. on Monday 24th August 2026.

Why couldn't WMR trains temporarily not call at Crewe and just operate otherwise as normal between Liverpool Lime Street and Birmingham New Street? Are there potential pathing issues?

Wouldn't 'Edmondson' type tickets still have been routinely used for long distance journeys wholly within Great Britain in the 1960s

So, what was the upshot of this? Was anyone ever convicted of the murder of Miss Mary Sophia Money? Or was a verdict of suicide returned? Believe the coroner's jury was unable to make any determination other than an open verdict, i.e. that she'd died of severe injuries caused by a train...

Believe that by travelling via London, the OP got to Newcastle at around 1440, so around the exact same time that they were due to arrive there, had XC been operating (via Birmingham New St).

@TrainRider43 . Welcome to the forum. Are you able to upload a pic of the Penalty Fare Notice? If so, please be sure to obscure (or otherwise cover up) any name and address and/or ID/reference number showing. Also, where/when on the LNWR network were you stopped? Might be worth appealing, but...

If you mean no later than the day before her 18th birthday, that's fine, and it'll be valid for one further year from date of purchase. Change was effective 17th August 2026. Doesn't matter that an existing 16-17 Saver railcard is held and that the two may overlap...

@HXD1D. Welcome to the forum. That's in the West Midlands area, near Birmingham, on a section of railway line heading from Gloucester located midway between Bromsgrove and Barnt Green stations. Steep 1 in 37 gradient! A quick look at the Realtimetrains website suggests a lot of freight trains...

Assume you're now going for the 0900 (GWR) from Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington. As you say, possibly no actual overall delay for your journey to Newcastle, although the onward connection (1130 LNER London Kings Cross to Newcastle, arrives 1411) could be busy, albeit if that's the one...
