    Delay Repay with SeatFrog: TPE Denying Compensation

    This is the problem. Funnily enough I did think about doing this as they do allow multiple ticket upload, however I figured it was likely to get the whole claim rejected. As part of my complaint I have asked them to make this clear as in anyway this cannot be an isolated incident and therefore...

    Delay Repay with SeatFrog: TPE Denying Compensation

    Agreed. The fact it states as much on their website and SeatFrog's just makes this response frankly bizarre and would be more comical if I didn't think this person may have fobbed off several others who are less determined.

    Delay Repay with SeatFrog: TPE Denying Compensation

    Hi, just thought it was worth bringing attention to the issue I've encountered whilst claiming for Delay Repay with a SeatFrog upgrade. I submitted a Delay Repay claim that was successful using my tickets and then separately submitted my SeatFrog upgrade via complaints (on the basis there was no...

    Würzburg - Rothenburg ob der Tauber: Main route closed/diversion this Autumn/Winter 2025

    Hi, I'm trying to plan a trip this December and I've noticed that getting to Rothenburg o.d. Tauber is a fair bit more difficult than it should be coming from the north. I've been trying to search through DB construction information to no avail. Typically I would expect: From October through...

    Railway 200: Greatest Gathering Derby tickets and exhibits

    I'm still hopeful of a excellent event... ...however I'm not going to lie all this booking of tickets for sub-events just feels like such a faff. Whilst it will improve the experience for those who were online at just the right time to book them, mugs like myself have only just had a chance to...

    Railway 200: Greatest Gathering Derby tickets and exhibits

    Agree about the bag size being a little too restrictive. This is something they need to look at urgently. Can you only have one bag or multiple? There are retailers there so want to be able to carry merchandise.

    End of the Royal Train: alternative uses and what might have been

    I think spot hire from LSL (Chairman's Train) or similar is probably the most appropriate going forward, a shame as it is. Whilst the mk2/mk3 currently used are undoubtably 'British' the 'Britishness' of a 8xx unit or mk5's could be called into question at any rate. If there were a spare mk5 set...

    Collision with tractor near Leominster (22/05/25)

    Much as I do love the 225 sets, I am especially thankful this happened on a lower speed line rather than a higher speed (100mph+). The consequences to the train being propelled at a higher speed would presumably have been more severe with the lighter DVT as we have unfortunately seen with a...

    Scottish Grand Tour pass vs. Edinburgh - Arisaig return

    I’ve generally found a split at Dalmuir has been a significant saving in years gone by even from Glasgow.

    Riga to Tartu - Valga Connections

    Just to close this off somewhat and help others. We arrived at 12:21 and then departed at 12:24 with a cross platform interchange. Very efficient and a lovely ride on one of the older vivi trains. Even had a chance to grab a quick picture of an older loco at Valga.

    Riga to Tartu - Valga Connections

    That's great to understand. Yes I'm half tempted to spend more time in Valga but that would then be quite a hit to our time in Tartu. Brilliant photos too. Unless someone else pipes up here to say otherwise I reckon we'll risk it.

    Riga to Tartu - Valga Connections

    Hi, We are looking to do a trip from Riga to Tartu (Estonia). As part of this my understanding is that we need to change trains in Valga and this is fairly straight forward. I know they have recently redone the timetable to make connections better. We could take the 'international' service...

    I didn’t know they had that!! Rolling stock you didn’t know that company operated.

    Arguably the pair of 68's that were used was even stranger as the DBSO was incompatible with the 68. IIRC two 68's on a two coach DRS branded train was quite the sight with a northern conductor. I presume with another battery equipped 777? I think for me one of the strangest was an LNER(It may...

    Network Rail Class 950 to be disposed

    Just spotted this at NCL heading towards Edinburgh - is this it's final run? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U41229/2025-01-29/detailed

    Royal Mail to cease using trains

    Extremely sad to see these going to scrap so soon. Can't help but feel this just about sums up everything wrong with the current economy.

    What rolling stock would you order from Hitachi / Alstom

    Ah of course - good point.
  18. E100

    150's. They belong in the cess pool of history.

    Not a fan of the class either. With Northerns procurement of new trains and TfW 197’s still coming on stream is there any that are planned to be used for the foreseeable?

    What rolling stock would you order from Hitachi / Alstom

    Bit of nice speculation thread. If you had the power to order stock what you order and why. 1713684907 To kick us off, I’d probably look to extend a lot of LNER IEP’s by an extra coach to 10 and/or then extend some of the 5 coach sets to 9/10. I’d probably offer Lumo an nearly at cost deal to...
