    Re numbering of locomotives

    Hi everyone Not sure where this fits but interested in knowing everyone's opinion on renumbering of trains. Do you still mark off the train as seen when for example certain class 156s have been modified and hence given a new number but you've seen it with its old number, many thanks.

    Confessions of an Enthusiast

    Would it be possible to buy 2 return tickets and use for the 9.05 high speed to St Pancras from Ramsgate and return in the evening to Ramsgate. I checked online and noted the promotional price only applies if you use Margate rather than Ramsgate.

    Disabled rail card rules

    Thanks for the quick reply and for helping to clarify the situation. I studied the rules as best I could and came to the same conclusion that as long as we both travelled the full journey together it would be OK even though we had different types of tickets.
