This is a new one for me! Have booked an Advance ticket from Twickenham to Axminster. (via RailUK Forums tickets) I received an email with the subject line above, offering me the chance to request a full refund, with the admin fee waived. The "disruption" is a change to the departure time...

Network Rail is to carry out an £11.5m upgrade of the Far North Line in the summer. The work will see a five-mile (8km) stretch between Brora and Helmsdale refurbished and almost nine miles (15km) of track between Invergordon and Fearn replaced. ...the line will be closed with no trains...

I am looking at a ticket from Axminster to Twickenham, all on SWR. I can't remember if the restrictions on trains that can be used apply to all journeys, or just the "long distance" one, in this case Axminster-Clapham Junction-Axminster. I am hoping to leave Twickenham at 1823 but Journey...

I've have commented a lot recently about food on board trains, especially in First Class. Why is it that Avanti, LNER, Transport for Wales and Trans Pennine Express can provide hot meals in First Class, yet GWR (Pullman excepted), ScotRail, Cross Country* can barely put together a sandwich? *I...

Is this poor planning, or maybe illness? RealTimeTrains: This service was cancelled between Petersfield and London Waterloo due to the signalbox not being open (OL). From SWR: Following signalling staff being unavailable between Guildford and Petersfield all lines have now reopened. We were...

I noticed that ScotRail, for journeys that require an overnight stop, now show "Split Ticket" ... and a higher fare for the last train on day of departure. For example, the Anytime Day Single from Kingussie to Wick is £41. If you take the late train from Kingussie, then the 0700 to Wick, they...

So I am on an LNER train to Scotland, currently at Kings Cross but very sadly someone has been hit by a train at Hitchin... But the information from the train crew makes me want to pull my hair out. "You are welcome to leave the train and use the West Coast line from St. Pancras... " I...

So I have been affected by cancellations - I understand these things happen. My journey is Dorchester South - Clapham Junction - East Croydon. The 1633 service has been cancelled. My options for a direct train to Clapham Junction are therefore 1533 and 1733. SWR confirmed I could travel on...

Does anyone know the actual station here, pretending to be Forres? (From new comedy Only Child)

My pal asked me to investigate trainfares from Exeter to Sheffield. All they could find for a specific train was an 0827 departure at £143 (via Cross Country Trains.) In the meantime I found the same train for £82 via TrainPal. The silly moo has only gone and booked with CrossCountry. I am...

I am using this line in August, and ScotRail have decided they are not releasing any Advance fares. According to Twitter, (X) this is because they anticipate high demand. I've used this route for 20 years and they've always had Advance fares available in the summer. Ho-hum. I also arrive at...

I made a page covering public transport in and around Bridport, Dorset. I get lots of people complaining that when they search for timetables they get the wrong ones. I can confirm this happens, because search engines still aren't very clever. At one point if you searched for "National Express...

I have created a webpage with public transport information for the area, and I noticed that on TIGER departures, when you click on Maiden Newton you get the next five departures. (If I had posted earlier there were six departures showing!) It's currently 16:07 and it shows departures up to...

Triffids!!! This service was cancelled between Birmingham New Street and Northampton due to lineside vegetation (JP). This is a new one for me! Rugby area

BBC News - Enterprise: Belfast-Dublin rail to receive multi-million investment The thing is, the article mentions journey times will be reduced to 1hr 55 minutes. Er, which it was in the 80s (admittedly when non stop services operated.

We might need a combined thread the rate landslips are occurring. :'( FROM NETWORK RAIL VIA SOUTHERN WEBSITE A landslip between Haywards Heath and Brighton means that some lines are closed. Trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of...

Is there a reason why Real Time Trains consistently lists the 0755 ex INV as "Not Stopping" at Pitlochry? I was on a train in February which stopped as planned, but RTT still listed it as not stopping. Just curious as to why?

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a fun or I usual route from Glasgow or Edinburgh to London. Looking for a day time train. Was hoping to do something like Glasgow Sheffield St Pancras as I haven't been on EMR for years Open to suggestions!

I was attempting to book a ticket from London to Inverness, and it appears that they are not operating to Inverness at all, in January. Initially I thought it was the specific dates I was trying, but a wider search shows that, in fact all dates in January are unavailable. I then thought it may...

This is from January but I still remember the tasty food on board! It's been a while since I have travelled anywhere, and I had a lovely trip with LNER from Inverness to London. The flight takes about 60 minutes so am usually happy to fly economy, but with the train journey taking 7hrs 55...
