Is this permissible? London to Edinburgh overnighting in York on the Outward on a Super Off Peak Return. Thinking of leaving on an evening train after the last Edinburgh service has left Kings Cross. I.e. 2000, 2100, 2200, etc. And continuing on the next morning? Returning as normal without...

Is it just me or has the 'check availability for bargain berths link' now gone from the Scotrail page... I've been looking for ages and can't find it. http://www.scotrail.co.uk/content/fares-and-tickets#caledonian-sleeper,caledonian-sleeper-bargain-berths Apologies if I'm just being dumb...

Girlfriend's coming down from Wales for Easter, and we'd like to go off and do a bit of exploring, maybe around the Kent/Sussex/Surrey areas combined with a bit of to-ing and fro-ing from London. I'm just trying to work out the best way of doing it from her perspective, utilising any rovers that...

I apologise if this has been answered in previous posts - I did do a search, but didn't find the answer* The other day - I made an innocent mistake - travelling from Paddington to Maidenhead wrongly thinking I could 'touch out' at Maidenhead. When I got to Maidenhead - luckily the barriers...

Don't know if it's of any value, In fact I only have very limited information. But it's come to my attention through a contact who wants to remain anonymous that a dilapidated goods van is going to be burnt next weekend as part of the firework festivities. The chassis is fine but the timbers...

Was just wondering if someone more familiar with this line than I could shed some light on what the journey in is like on this route on the following services: 0741 (slow) 0749 (slow) 0800 (fast) 0804 (fast) How busy are these trains? How likely is it to get a seat joining at...

Was it the 1832 ex Sevenoaks that was involved?

Does anyone know what's going on on the Catford loop at the moment? thanks

Is this true? I can find nothing about it on the net...

So assuming a person is met by FCC revenue protection without a ticket on a train, and is honest about where they came from, and where they're going to and doesn't try and hide in a toilet; it's assumingly going to be either: a ticket sale (if they have a genuine reason, i.e. ticket machine...

Thanks for all the reassurance people. Had I known about the permit to travel machines I would have bought one. I am intrigued by this post though; how could you get a criminal record from this in a worst case scenario? I thought if you were offering to pay: the worst they can give you is a...

The other day I attempted to buy a ticket from a south London station without barriers. The one and only ticket machine was on the blink and my train was due in minutes. My journey was to be SOUTH MERTON to SEVENOAKS changing at ELEPHANT & CASTLE. It was a case of 'get on board without a...

They hadn't even shut down the London end power car, but the ceiling still looked pretty clean though to be fair.

Delayed 1654arr ex Aberdeen - in there now. Has this happened before? A diesel in the electrics only platform?

The level of political correctness in this thread is just going off the scale! I can't tell who's being sarcastic, who's being genuine or who's just lost the plot... Shame really - as it started out as quite a good thread. :roll:

Best one I saw was in Leeds around the year 2000. A Virgin XC HST from Penzance to Scotland, just about to pull away from the platform and the doors had just been locked. A late running passenger lobbed his bag through an open vestibule door window, and then proceeded to climb through said...

And yet it wasn't so long ago when the Manchester Pullman would leave about this same time from London with a rake of first class only coaches! Funny how times change...

I wouldn't recommend doing this either, but then, all I'm saying is that it 'works'. As for the Blackfriars renaming, I've tried to find the email - but I seem to have lost it. It was about 2 years ago that I received it so the plans may have been dropped. NR went through a phase iirc of...

I often have this debate with FCC staff, and you tend to get different answers depending on who you ask: the official line seems to be that on the Thameslink route: London Blackfriars, City Thameslink and St Pancras International are the terminals and Farringdon is not. However - you can...

About time too! I've always been of the opinion WiFi should be available (and free) on every train. It's a sad state of affairs when you can get online on a 15min journey on the Heathrow Express, but not on a 10hr one on XC!
