    Dushanbe to Tashkent tickets

    Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase tickets for this service in advance? If so, from where? I have tried the sites for Tajik and Uzbek Railways without success.

    Ffestiniog Round Robin

    My son has asked if we can do the Ffestiniog Round Robin this Sunday. Is it actually possible to do this trip on a Sunday timetable? Are we at risk of Sunday cancellations? Either direction is fine and we would probably start from Birmingham or, if necessary, Shrewsbury. Cheers

    Can children travel on adult tickets?

    Interesting to see the variety of opinions here. I thought it might be a tricky one. I've told her to buy the ticket online and collect from a machine, as advised.

    Thanks everyone, so I've booked a trip to Bulgaria. Can anyone recommend any specific routes in that country? I'm looking for great scenery with decent rolling stock e.g. loco hauled with a dining car. I'll be travelling home via Ruse and Bucharest.

    Can children travel on adult tickets?

    For the purposes of buying an "Off-Peak Family Travelcard" valid only when at least 1 Adult (16+) and 1 Child (5-15 years) is travelling together. So she can buy the "adult" ticket?

    Can children travel on adult tickets?

    My daughter is travelling this weekend and it is cheaper for her to travel on an adult ticket than a child ticket. Is she allowed to buy and use an adult ticket? She is 15.

    Thanks for all the advice, I'm on the trip and it's going very well. We did the return KZC trip to Tynec na Sazavou this morning, which was excellent. I'm now at Rakovnik, headed for Beroun.

    Czechia scenic rail lines

    My trip is coming up in a week. Thanks for all the help above. I'm thinking of doing two KZC trips on Saturday: Prague to Tynec na Sazavou at 07:39 then the trip from Kralovice u Rakovnika - Prague at 15:19. Is the trip to Dobris also worth doing in between? Cheers

    Services North from London on 3 June

    Hi, I'm arriving at St Pancras from Paris with my family on the morning of 3 June. Are there likely to be any services at all running to the West Mids that day? I can see that on last Saturday, there were still some services running from Euston.
