I was at Cannon Street expecting to meet a friend from Teynham this morning, but both the services were cancelled. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/TEY/2014/07/04/0615?stp=WVS&show=pax-calls&order=wtt Both cancellations are listed as "problem with the train (M6)". Can anyone...

Until now I had assumed (I know, I know) that all railway bye-laws were strict liability, but now I realise that only some are (mainly 17 and 18). However I cannot find any official notice that states this. The bye-laws document doesn't make it clear (although some of the bye-law offences use...

There are a couple of early morning FCC services that start from Selhurst and head north. Looking at Realtime Trains, the stock that forms them comes from Cricklewood Depot. I'm sure they used to come from Selhurst Depot. Perhaps that changed with the latest timetable updates, but I wonder what...

My sister is a regular commuter on Merseyrail. What with major engineering works on the Northern line coupled with the terrible weather she commented Thought I'd put that out there.

If I bring up details for a station (eg http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/CLJ/details.html) and click on "Station Map" I see the "thumbnail" view of the station layout. But clicking on the image or "View larger version" link does not bring up the more detailed view. Instead I get a...

The other day I was wandering hither and thither (no plan, just going wherever the fancy took me) on the network. At the end of the day it transpired that, when interchanging from the Waterloo & City line to the Northern line at Waterloo station, no touch-out was recorded at the end of the W&C...

Just browsing http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk late on a Saturday night (as you do) and came across this one. It didn't appear on the NRE live departure boards (well, it says it's unadvertised) and snaked its way across London, moving from the East London Line to the West London Line via...

I noticed on brfares.com that Richmond to Clapham Junction has a "via Willesden Junction" route. Oddly, while the rail ticket is more expensive via that route (compared to the direct route), the Oyster PAYG is cheaper, even though London Overground sets all those fares. Perhaps LO is pricing the...

When querying the above fare at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/tickets/faresandtickets/farefinder/current/default.aspx I get the following fares (peak/off-peak). £3.50/£2.40. This is the default fare and corresponds to the 1-4 NR only scheme. So what route would this be? All I can figure is...

From previous threads I have come to understand that a destination of ZONE U#### LONDN includes a journey on LU/DLR covering the specified zones. So I was messing about on brfares.com and came across the following: Reading to Leyton Und (http://brfares.com/#fares?orig=RDG&dest=ZLY&rlc=) gives...

According to rail.staging.swlines.co.uk, the 12:07 has a head code of 1F16. And according to http://en-gb.facebook.com/VT.ATW.CH.and.SleeperGen/posts/325376957540206, 1F16 is 11-car. Can anyone confirm this (and is there an easier way to find out!)? If it is correct, are coaches F & U...

This is kinda pedantic, but I am wondering if the "no more than 3 miles" rule really applies to all journeys. While that is the impression I get when reading routeing-related posts here, the only references I can find to this rule are in the Routeing Guide. Why not in the CoC? Of these...

Both Megabus and Virgin have significant Stagecoach ownership. Once First take over I wonder if the arrangement will continue beyond any existing contractual obligations?

I guess this falls under the category "these things happen", especially with all the engineering works and re-platforming. So I am posting this mainly out of interest and wonder if a mistake like this would be recorded officially. This evening (Sunday) I arrived at Clapham Junction to catch...

Just come across this strange journey while checking local trains. Disappeared a few minutes later, although trains to Clapham Junction are still being displayed in duplicate.

Today (Sunday 10 July) I was awaiting the 14:46 Norbury to Victoria (Originating Sutton). Before I left I checked its progress and everything seemed OK. It was only when I arrived at Norbury that the indicators showed it as a few minutes late, and then a few more and then "delayed". Finally it...

According to the station announcement at Kensington Olympia trains heading for Clapham Junction now call at "West Brompton, Acton Central and Clapham Junction". :o

This is hypothetical - no real journeys were harmed during the writing of this post. Going to Barnes I caught a train which was announced as going to Teddington, but at the next stop, Wandsworth Town, the announcement was changed to Kingston. I do not believe this to be an announcement error...

To the west of Barnes (BNS) there are two level crossings less than 60m apart on a single stretch of road: http://goo.gl/wUmGo Is there a closer pair on a public highway? Or anywhere else?

Checking the National Rail website shows only 2 trains per hour between Streatham Common and Clapham Junction. Looking at subsequent Sundays, they're every 15 minutes, and I can't see any engineering works that might be the cause. Southern recently increased the Sunday frequency on this line, so...
