I would like to know which piece of legislation provides the legal right for a railway employee, whether directly employed or on contract, to prevent an incoming passenger (leaving a train) from exiting the station. What can possibly be done if the passenger being detained simply leaves rather...

TOC is GWR. Decided to cancel my journey after the train was seriously delayed leaving the terminal. Problem is I think I've lost £42.50 as I cannot now find my ticket. It must have slipped out of my wallet at some point. I am assuming I have forfeited my chance to be compensated for the unused...

Not sure there to put this. Please move if there is a more appropriate category. The film is based on the idea of everyone in England having woken up totally blind due to watching a meteor shower the previous evening. During the first 15 minutes, a steam locomotive plus carriages is seen...

One Saturday evening recently, I jumped on a Charing Cross train having just missed one to Victoria. It was definitely a direct service with no change involved. However, I cannot find a timetable for direct East Croydon to Charing Cross services. All I see are journeys involving a change at...
