Hey, I have an advance ticket booked today, I know from keeping up with online feeds & X that my local line isn't running any services down it due to flooding, this has resulted in the last few days EMR just cancelling everything and putting nothing in replacement. Today they've put on Rail...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/disingenious-departure-board-at-london-victoria.249498/ Has anyone made comment on the crazy signage at St Pancras too, does the Luton Airport Express (Corby Class 360s) really need to exist when so many Thameslink services exist

I intent to use an Off Peak Open Return from Canterbury East to Pitsea, no hassle on the outboard journey on the 4th June. The return will involve me coming back into London Fenchurch Street on 5th June, stay overnight and return home via London Victoria on the 6th June. I fear I could...

As the title says... I use a SE station Paddock Wood with 1.2m passengers a year, the London bound platform 2tph has a part time manned ticket office, no barriers and 1 solitary self service machine away from the platforms. Platform 2 & 3 have a 4tph to the coast, Tonbridge and Strood with an...

I mainly ask because there are engineering works between Hitchin and Peterborough this weekend and LNER are diverting some trains round via Letchworth, Cambridge, Ely and then onto unelectrified track to Peterborough, whilst I guess the 800 will do it, I can't imagine it'll be too happy about if...

We complain that fixed routes don't fit our various travelling patterns, East - West rail travel is abysmal with multiple changes and waits required. Extra Tph are needed to midlands towns and cities etc...etc...etc... I put this out there, as a discussion piece about how well some people/towns...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/emr-class-360s.205226/ I genuinely didn't know such a fare imbalance would be in place: Clacton to Liverpool Street anytime rtn £58.90 Ipswich to Liverpool Street anytime rtn £84.20 Northampton to Euston anytime rtn £64.10...

Good Evening, Up until now I've avoided the TOCs smartcards due to challenges and difficulties that were being reported on twitter, here and general rumblings of commuters on trains. Today I got what I expecting to be a spam email from SouthEastern, it wasn't, it was very informative and talking...

I will start it by stating that I understand different TOCs have different levels of Twitter staffing; some work 24hr/364 days a year, others office hours. I have always had quick replies, informative (not 'bot' provided) replies and the most fun with the team at @SE_Railway, I understand its a...

Simple really Very few of us railcard holders will have been able to use our railcards during the last few months, will they think about extending validity in these unique times

Just hear me out, but the Brighton/Portsmouth to Cardiff service are how many miles apart? How long does it take? Does it seem a lot like an intercity Cross country-esque route that'd suit, long distance intercity trains? And why are commuter trains currently running that route? I suggest that...

As far as I remember the piece of track is currently set up, and was originally set up to allow Eurostar trains to use the phase one of HS1 to be used upto Ebbsfleet (whilst the tunnels were being dug to Stratford and St Pancras) and then bring trains down to the Sole Street line through Bromley...

Having a heavily delayed journey from the West Mids to Kent via Chiltern a few weeks back due to a fatality on the line ahead, I ended up going to the Chiltern website thinking like most TOCs their delay repay scheme is simple and uniform, I was shocked to find it wasn't and seemed to mirror the...

I have noticed a large upswing in various large agencies supplying TOCs with staff who in effect are taking job roles that should and traditionally were carried out by TOC directly employed, TOC directly pensioned, TOC unionised employees who earn considerably more than their agency counterparts...

So we all know that some stations are fare evasion hotspots, and some people wouldn't believe it was that bad, well this story from Kent Online tells the truth:

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/dft-and-crosscountry-rule-out-surplus-hst%E2%80%99s-as-a-capacity-relief.194180/page-2 Good question here, will the MK4 coaches with power doors that are coupled to the class 91s with LNER work with Class 43 units, because that...

So the Beeb pick up on a little issue with the class 321, I'm glad they are disappearing soon. https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-england-essex-49593420

I have a well timed journey I do twice a week from Aylesham to Eastbourne via Ashford & Hastings. I woke this morning checked Twitter and SE had part cancelled a train which formed one third of my journey it was the service between Dover Priory and Ashford. I knew the outcome of this would...

I love the fact that the BBC thinks they've got an exclusive story! It looks like it's being demoed at Rail Live... BBC News - All aboard Britain’s first hydrogen train https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48698532
