I'm aiming to travel on this line after Northern Ireland play at home to Hungary on September 28th. I've noticed that after Northern Ireland play at home an extra train is added which uses Belfast Cental Junction - Belfast City Junction. However for the forthcoming fixture there is no sign of...

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is an equivalent to Real Time Trains in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Many thanks in advance.

i'm planning to catch the 00.19 Watford - Rickmansworth on Monday 20th April in order to travel on Watford North Curve. I'm just wondering if anyone can advise on the chances of this service running on this date. The last time I tried it was cancelled due to late notice engineering work.

On a Thursday in early March I'm going on a whistle-stop tour to Lille. I arrive on the Eurostar at 11am and return at approximately 18.30. Have anyone any ideas on what to do? 20 years ago I did something similar and just stuck to the city and did a bus tour. I'm tempted to go on the Metro...

I'm travelling to Ireland next Friday to start my quest to travel on all of Ireland's Rail and Tram network. As we are staying in Dublin I may start by trying to cover some of the LUAS network. I've looked at the LUAS website and the Branch Line Society's PSUL and I'm unsure on how to cover the...

Does anyone know the history of the Rail 200 coaches in the Inspiration train? They are all Mark 3 coaches. One appears to be a sleeper converted into a generator coach. Are the others ex HST coaches? Alternatively are they from the West Coast Main Line or possibly ScotRail? I'm 99% sure they...

In my quest to travel on all the lines in Great Briton I'm down to currently two lines left to cover. One is Eurostar out of Saint Pancross. The other is Watford East Junction to Watford North Junction on the Metropolitan line. Last night after my shift at work I travelled down from the North...

On Friday 19th September I intend to catch the last Avanti service from the South to Glasgow Central arriving just after midnight. The next train I'm catching is the 04.26 Avanti service to Carlisle which uses the Newton South Connecting line. My dilemma is what to do for 4 hours on a Friday...

Does anyone know when trams are going to start running to Wolverhampton Railway Station? It seems to be taking a very long time.

I have got one long line left in Great Britain to travel on. This is the line to Kyle. I'm planning on making it a short break. I live in the North West of England and am planning to take my 6 year old daughter with me. The plan I have is day 1 travel to London for day out there. Catch sleeper...

Every month for the last 30 years or so I've travelled by train to travel over a line I've never travelled on before. As you can imagine I'm not far off going over all the passenger lines in the UK now. I plan to post on here my plans and whether they are successful. My planned April trip is a...

I am intrigued about long distance Class 153 workings particularly on Main Lines. At one time there was a Central Trains service to Manchester Airport. I remember seeing on a number of occasions but forget where it originated from. Does anyone know? Pre Covid I believe there was a Shrewsbury -...

Just a quick query. I notice that the sleeper Class 57’s are now based at Long Rock, Penzance. When was the last time main line loco’s (not Class 08’s) have been based at Penzance.

I’m lucky enough to live close to the Chester - Liverpool line and can see the services from my house. For the last 2 Sunday’s Merseyrail have run 6 car services between Chester and Liverpool. On weekdays including today when they are only running an hourly service the trains have been 3 car...

I wish to travel from St Mary Cray Junction to Chislehurst. This is one of only five passenger lines I have left to cover in Great Britain. There seems to be only a few early morning services which run this way. However looking at the National Rail website on weekend of 16/17 November Hastings...

After reading of all these great trip reports I thought I'd make an attempt at writing up my trip reports. First of all my main aim is to travel on all the train lines in Great Britain. When I have travelled on a new line I mark it off in my Rail Atlas with a green pen. My next trip I'm...
