I need to travel down to London tomorrow (12/02 - Birmingham International to Euston) and I chose the 06:58 service. I tried to book via the Avanti West Coast website however it said there were no more seats to reserve (no specific options chosen). I booked via TrainLine which provided me with...

Just wondered when LNR Crewe-Birmingham services started running via and stopping at Tame Bridge Parkway between New Street and Wolverhampton? Yesterday I took that service for the first time this year and noticed this routing. It can make things confusing as the booking systems offer a...

Does anyone have any suggestions for website hosting? I have recently purchased a domain via GoDaddy (as they appear to be on of the few that host .racing domains), but they have annoyed me with their website hosting prices and charging me over £50 more than their January deals site says. So...

A colleague suggested I split tickets on my journey from Birmingham New Street to Manchester Piccadilly so I took a look on TrainLine and can apparently get a 1st Class option for not much more than a Standard Anytime if my calculations are correct. Taking the 06:53 XC service from Birmingham...

I have a couple of domain names which I use for various things but mainly for email redirection and web redirection. I currently use one provider whose email redirection service seems to be very sporadic in as much as I may get a delay receiving the email, on the odd occasion I may not receive...

I booked tickets for three adults from Marston Green to Stoke-on-Trent for Saturday 12th February and the Avanti website quoted me £72.30 which I blindly paid (open return) - I only ordered via the Avanti website because I collect Necter points. A bit later on, I found out that I could have...

I was on the 18:23 Avanti West Coast service to Shrewsbury out of Euston yesterday. It was a single 221 instead of a double 221, and it was routed via the slows out of Euston moving over to the Fasts before its call at Watford Junction. Was there any particular reason for this?

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/hs2-construction.149100 I noticed in the news that there is a camp at Crackley Woods, near Kenilworth where there is a group of protesters camped in the woods along with the usual mob from Extinction Rebellion and also a new group...

I'm not a great radio listener but even I have stopped listening to Radio 2 of late because Chris Evans grates on me, and the new drivetime combo of Simon Mayo & Jo Whiley doesn't click with me I am however glad to see that the recent announcements of Zoe Ball replacing Evans presenting the...

Another part of my childhood dies, Geoffrey Hayes - presenter of childrens programme Rainbow has died at the age of 76. RIP :(

i happened to catch part of Maajid Nawaz's LBC show on Saturday afternoon (as the father in law has LBC on in the background) and he was discussing the case of a senior Met police officer who used the phrase "whiter than white" in a briefing about the need to be faultless and above reproach in...

I have been looking at a day when one station has had two separate incidents of persons hit by a train. Whilst our thoughts should be with the family of the deceased and those involved in the incidents, I was wondering whether there was any statistics for stations that seem to attract this...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13176198 I grew up around Only Fools and Horses as my grandparents were big fans. A sad loss and in typical Del Boy style I would like to say: "No, no not goodbye ..., no just Bonjour!"

Why recently are Virgin Trains not offering any Advance fares on morning peak trains? I used to be able to book Advance fares on the 0700, 0720 & 0741 trains from Birmingham International to Euston up to the day before but not anymore. I've not had any feedback from them regarding this query...

I was delayed on the way home last night by 45 minutes as the 390 (and everything else) was diverted via the Slow line out of Euston and didn't rejoin the Fast until after Watford Junction. The Train Manager said that Network Rail had taken an emergency posession of the Fast Line between...

I've got to travel to St Albans for work and I've been looking at ticket splitting since the price of an end to end ticket seems more expensive than if I split at London. For example (all booked online via the VT website): Book for the 0720 BHI-EUS = £55.50 Zone 12 Tube card (because I...

With the UK Airspace currently closed to Air Traffic, does anyone know if the TOCs are taking advantage of this and laying any additional/special services on?

I travel infrequently between Birmingham and Docklands and take the tube from Euston to Bank as the 2nd leg of my journey. The Northern Line was worse than normal today due to signalling issues and apparently a couple of tugs on the emergency handle so there were delays off and on the train...

I was just wondering whether the WCML was back to normal today after the past few days where OHL issues around Hemel Hempsted had caused delays and cancellations of services? I had to go to London yesterday and caught the 0720 from BHI to EUS which was not too badly affected (although was...
