Perhaps the Greater Anglia intended improvement that got the least attention paid to it, but the one that would have benefited me most! Under the (now former) Anglia Franchise TSR3 requirements for Cambridge to Ipswich, Cambridge was due to get an earlier train to Ipswich. Do we know why this...

Just seen this article: https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/dreadful-yorkshire-train-service-uks-17884447 How correct is this? I feel like the Harwich - Cambridge boat train didn't run at all for well over a month?

A lot of what's going on with bus and coach routes in the UK is doom and gloom, but there must be some shining example of success (I have one locally...) What examples of greatly growing bus routes are there? I'm looking for cases where the growth has occurred over a number of years and...

Hello Is a Super Off Peak Day Travelcard valid on the 0531 Cambridge to Stratford? Thanks!

Tomo... err... today's the day! 12 Norwich - Cambridge trains are timetabled to extend to Stansted Airport! But over the last 7 days almost 2/3 of trains haven't made it as far as Cambridge! How many trains do we think will make it all the way to Stansted? Can miracles happen? Or will...

Hello I'm thinking about travelling from Cambridge to Holland overnight, staying a night, and returning. What would happen in the event of disruption causing me to miss the ferry at Harwich? It looks like 6 out of the last 10 Cambridge - Harwich trains haven't run! (I realise that this doesn't...

The Cambridge & Peterborough Combined Authority had signed a contract for the building of a new station at Soham, on the little used (by passenger trains) line between Ely and Bury St Edmunds (and which doesn't currently allow a direct link to Cambridge)...

The story of a train that made it's way through a part of rural Estonia affected by a bad storm that had taken out power and the signalling system, by way of first the train crew clearing fallen trees, then both the train crew and passengers, and finally also friends of passengers. Can you...

The old thread at https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/thameslink-services-timetable-from-may-20th-2018.164547/ is probably a bit long and now a year old... How do we think things are going to go this May? Better than before? Will the new weekend services actually happen this time?

Hello! What's the latest time you can renew a student railcard (as a mature student)? Is it just before teaching ends? Just before graduation?

Mod Note: Posts #1 - #3 originally in this thread. So I always take things like this in the attack, not necessarily with the intention of following through, but with the intention of giving them something to distract themselves with. The train company concerned is clearly harassing you. This...

Hello I'd like to do the following journeys on weekdays, with a 16-25 railcard. Day 1 - Cambridge (or Cambridge North) to Ipswich (morning rush hour) - Ipswich to Westerfield or Felixstowe (evening rush hour) Day 2 - Felixstowe or Westerfield to Ipswich (morning rush hour) - Ipswich to...

Posted by the Estonian train operator today: Many thanks to the young man who on train 241 Tallinn - Viljandi (1417-1636) today went to help the driver, so that a tree which had fallen onto the railway was lifted away. Just imagine if that had happened here...

Mod Note: Posts #1 - #10 were originally in this thread. Myself (KGX to CBG; 1h+ delay as went via Liverpool Street) and a friend (KGX-PBO; 2h+ delay) have both had our delay repay claims refused on the basis that we were only delayed 10m!!!:?::!::so_O:'(<(

My local station is Cambridge North, and while I've given up trying to go to Ipswich from it because connecting onto the hourly service just doesn't seem to work and leads to hour long delays, I have been clinging on to the idea that I can make my weekly trip to London from there. In theory it...

I couldn't pick up my ticket at Cambridge North because the system is apparently down to some extent, and am just about to travel to Kings Cross to try and get it there (on gateline staff suggestion). To what extent should I expect this to not be as straightforward as I'd hope? :-(

From today there are replacement bus services between Ely and King's Lynn for a week. There have been posters (and electronic messages on the displays inside the Electrostars). So so far so good, while there is the unfortunate case of the online timetables not being updated until much later...

Does anyone know if it's possible to get information about the most popular journeys (ie station to station, or station to group of stations etc) made in the UK? I've been given passenger timetables for 87 and 99, and am having a fascinating time comparing the ups and downs of UK train travel...

Hello I have a carnet single from KX to Cambridge and want to break my journey at Stevenage. Is this allowed? Thanks! Edit: I did try their website: https://www.thameslinkrailway.com/tickets/carnet-tickets/carnet-terms-and-conditions Page not found...
