Which must have happened then! Logged in to find board temporarily unavailable message again.

Faresaver had (might still has) one afternoon run that starts in Devizes and goes one bus stop then its all set downs 'by request'. Apparently rarely anyone gets on so does the one bus stop, finishes there then goes empty for PM school run. Probably technically shortest run for driver when no...

Booked this more for the grid and in Premier Dining which I still enjoy but for PF tours from Trowbridge / Westbury I've had many cancelled letters through the post over the past couple of years, and now this one too, I am on the PF tour this coming Saturday for Rail 200 (though doing the...

Got to London City Airport to get DLR and just by chance saw Miriam Margoyles getting out of a car, I thought it was a doppelganger at first :lol:

When we were sat at Reading for a couple of hours we had 5 minute updates from the guard mostly telling us there was no further information from control, but as time got on was informing us we had the option of staying put and seeing what happens or cancelling travel plans and travelling...

I was on 1C20 Padd - Weston going to Bath for connection to Trowbridge on 1st Advanced, stopped at Twyford for a fair amount of time the plan was to release doors there too but don't think that happened, then sat at Reading where updates became tickets would be accepted for travel tomorrow. I...

Ah yes of course I have it in my head the conditions of a First Class ticket is you can use the lounge for 1 hour once you arrive, hence the question would it work on arrival at Paddington, but I think I'm answering my own question here I doubt you could use it on arrival anyway thinking about...

Thank you! I did a google search just about First Class Advance and First Class lounges, and it came up with LNER and Scotrail allow Advances in lounges but it's unclear if all TOC's have this policy, suggesting that some only accept full fare first class tickets, which I couldn't imagine being...

I'm sure I read somewhere GWR Advance First Class tickets are permitted in lounge at Paddington? GWR doesn't state this, a google 'AI Generated' description mention's it is valid with no proof where it got it's source from so I'm not 100% trusting AI telling me I can at the moment :lol:

This was out yesterday on 13 and then on some 2 Foxhill's. Went on this on a spin on the 2 with the diversion via Widcombe Hill, fully loaded seated passengers wise, and took the hill with ease. Also to my surprise had next stop announcements running too!

Sorry for bump! I had one last night which involved reading this forum! I heard that First South Western Railways had bought out SouthEastern Trains which I remember thinking why would they do that? Then I read a post about it on this forum, and someone said it was because they could then use...

Ohhh not heard of the EES, the ETIAS would be the one I've heard about that involves a purchase, but at least I don't have to worry about that Thank you ever so much for confirming what I need and what I do for return that really is appreciated!!

Hello all, Thinking in March of having a week at Amsterdam Schiphol, since 2019 I haven't flown anywhere at all, I have a new passport now but completely out the loop as what is required / what I do as it was 6 years ago since I went to the airport with my old red passport, scanned it through...

Oh! That's why I've only seen it once, it was on a Tuesday I was offered a snack box, going back to Frome when Westbury was closed but it was half term week, maybe that's why they had snack boxes, that or it was vice sandwiches or something possibly

Going the other way out of Paddington at a similar time, I've had a snack box offered before, but not always, these seem to be random weather they have these or not As mentioned the lounge has similar offerings but also fruit as well, I actually like the lounge at Paddington I've not done 1st...

Thank you for the responses! I went for the train option in the end, easy way especially when coming from the East Surprising for a city that there is no dedicated Park & Ride from East or West (except for via Hospital of course, but I mean direct route in) I assume it's because as you say...

Hello all, Not been to Cardiff for about 6 years now last tome went on a weekend when there was a P&R (Park & Ride) option at the council site on weekends only, I'm sure there were other sites available for weekdays Looking at driving to Cardiff tomorrow (Tuesday) but can't find any references...

Are these connections on rail replacement stopping services? If there's 2 vehicles on one service, one usually runs express to meet the train at the other end, and the stopper tries its best to run to schedule too. Not always but I've found some timetables I've had to be quite slack on the last...

Hmm so North London Line has RRB's, but none on West London but looking at that looks like it was planned? Announcements almost suggest that it wasn't but maybe it wasn't worded as well otherwise

Hello all, Yesterday at Clapham Junction there was an announcement played every few minutes saying that due to engineering works, services from Platform 1 are currently suspended until further notice, and passengers should use local transport. It didn't say where to but I assumed it was West...
