Is it valid to do Preston - Liverpool Lime Street - Acton Bridge? Or is it only allowed via Crewe

I'm looking for somewhere like Stafford for example, where the trains that pass through it also pass the most amount of stations. As there are a lot of freight services through Stafford covering the length of the country I figured hundreds of other stations must have atleast one service (mainly...

I noticed on the signal map that trains were at a stand at various points between Motherwell and Glasgow Central. My train I'm currently on cross-border seems to have been the last one to pass through the affected area. Anyone know whats up?

As title says

Lines are blocked on the WCML between Glasgow and Carlisle. Anyone know what the exact issue is and what time estimates for line reopening are? They're being pretty vague about the cause of the incident on twitter. I just want to know whether its a quick fix fault or something more disruptive...

I am planning to return from London to Glasgow this month, but I would like to break the journey at various places. Would the ticket be valid to get off at Birmingham New Street, Wolverhampton, Stafford, Stoke, Manchester and Preston? And is it valid on XC? It is to make the moneys worth for...

I'm surprised that there still isn't a dedicated pram space on most trains, especially intercity ones like Avanti/LNER. They say they must be folded but how can you realistically fold a pram if you are holding a baby? Or what if they're asleep (and you don't want to disturb other passengers in...

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P77795/2024-08-12/detailed 1A03 1303 Kilmarnock to Glasgow only just moved past Lugton running just under 4 hours late. Apparently there was a broken down train in the area, was it this one? That's the highest Scotrail delay I've seen!

Hi, is there any way of finding out whether a specific signal is front or back axle controlled, so that when said axle passes the signal the train moves to the next berth on a signal map for example? Is public data on this available anywhere? Thanks

Hey, anyone know what is going to be towed on this move? I thought Glasgow Works had closed. Thanks https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R19756/2024-07-21/detailed

Anyone know why 334004 will be ferried from Yoker to Wolverton tonight? Unit number data from Railcam. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R19466/2024-07-10/detailed

A single Avanti Pendolino did 1,610 miles in a 21 hour period yesterday. Starting with the 04:28 from Glasgow to London, 09:30 return, 14:34 back to London and 19:30 return, arriving into Glasgow just after midnight. It's not a booked diagram however, as it got unit swapped back onto the...

Hi, does anyone know any lineside locations or stations with picnic tables (or any table and chair really) that have a good view of the running line (and are preferably outdoors, but doesn't have to be, please still suggest!)? Reason I request is because I am looking for somewhere nice to have...

On Saturday the 1st and Sunday 2nd of June, most Edinburgh Avanti trains are VAR'd to start/terminate at Glasgow Central, meaning roughly 2tph Avanti from Glasgow as the usual services are also running...

This quote is from the June 2024 Timetable Change thread: But would there be demand for an additional morning service to run to Edinburgh from somewhere on the WCML to work 9M52 08:52 EDB-EUS back south, arriving around 08:30, rather than using a Polmadie set like it currently does? I would...

https://www.lner.co.uk/about-us/changes-to-our-timetable Stirling will still be served by the Chieftain. Was the 1E03 05:34 morning departure from Stirling popular between there and Edinburgh? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:W58087/2024-03-21/detailed If 1E03 was to go, would...

Hi, according to RTT, a lot of Avanti services seem to be using Platform 5 now rather than 7. Platform 7 seems to have all of the Northern services using it, why the swap? Platform 6 is being used for Avanti as normal.

Hello, What would the longest diagram be? Either by train mileage or duration? You can find this out through Realtime Trains platform numbers, and the distances from railmiles mileage engine. Preferably looking for diagrams still booked as of the December 2023 Timetable Change. If it's a diagram...

Anyone know why the station changed it from Right to Left around covid time IIRC? Must be one of the only stations in Britain to do this, was told on twitter that there's no particular reason why it was done. Mind you, most people stand on both sides at Central anyway (to my slight annoyance...

Hey, just wondering which of the xx:13, xx:33, xx:53 London to Manchester train services tend to be the busiest, and also the quietest one? xx:33 is the one via Crewe. Same for the xx:15, xx:35, xx:55 from Manchester to London. xx:55 being the one via Crewe. This would be for a normal day...
