I know this is a subjective question, but I'm heading to Norfolk next week and will probably only get to go on one of the heritage lines there. So which one should it be!? I think I like the look of the Mid-Norfolk slightly more but will be staying much closer to the North Norfolk and could...

I'm going from Brussels to Luxembourg tomorrow with the family but thinking of breaking the journey in Namur. Is this allowed on a standard single ticket does anyone know?

Hi all, I was travelling with my family from Purley to Gatwick Airport for a flight on Monday evening 25.05. Our initial train from Purley to East Croydon was cancelled so we opted to change at Redhill instead, but no sooner had we got there we discovered that our change train had also been...

I'm returning from Bristol TM to Paddington today and wondered if there's any interesting routes I could take for fun and avoid sitting o. Those blasted Azuma seats for too long? I have an open return. Presumably via Westbury and the Berks & Hants would be fine but not via Westbury and...

I've put in a number of delay repay claims over the last couple years (this is what happens if you have to use Thameslink) and the amounts received for similar delays seems to vary. I would have assumed there is a formula for calculating what is due but this can't be so. For example a few weeks...

I was at East Croydon yesterday evening (15/10) around 18.50 on Platform 6 waiting for my train when all of a sudden there was a shrill whistle and a steam locomotive hauling a single carriage burst through. I checked on RTT and was running from North Road, Darlington to East Grinstead sidings -...

I need to get to and from Wivelsfield tonight. I am covered for Zones 1-6 so I presume my cheapest ticket option would be a return from Coulsdon South?

Bought return from Purley to Lewes for tomorrow. Am I bound by the times I've selected? I couldn't see anything that said I am. Just trying to figure out why it would increase the price from £25.89 to £27.50 if I select 'I don't know what time I am going to return yet'

Mods please move to Infrastructure if more appropriate. I was in the Schwarzwald last week staying at Titisee and noticed this unusual (to me at least!) arrangement of sleepers on one of the tracks through the station. Can anyone tell me why they would be like this?

Over the last few days there have been problems opening the doors in the last two cars of 12 car trains on the up slow (pl3) at Purley. Only seems to be on Electrostar type traction and not on the Class 700s. There wasn't an issue before now, so what would cause this to happen?

Why are Eurostar prices so ridiculous? I thought we were supposed to be being encouraged not to take short haul flights. I really can't wait for them to have some open access (OA) competition! I was just looking at a short break for the family (2 & 2) in Cologne and it's going to be around...

Hello, I am travelling with some friends this weekend on a groupsave ticket. I'm presuming that this means we have to make sure we are all travelling together? I was wondering what the scenario would be if someone was delayed en route and didn't make the train a) because of rail-related delay...

Morning, Due to lineside fire at Brockley this morning all Southern/GTR routes into and out of London Bridge are severely disrupted. I discovered this whilst checking the National Rail app walking to my station, so I turned back and decided to work from home until it all settles down. Can I...

In the last five years or so I've started to build up some good experience of travelling on railways of mainland Europe and I wanted to discuss some of differences I've noticed. Firstly, it seems that most major lines on the mainland are signalled for bi-directional running and I wondered why...

Evenin' all, I'm off tomorrow with the family on our second Interrail adventure (the previous incarnation being the year before COVID). After reaching Brussels from STP, we will be catching the 1922 Brussels-Prague sleeper and being a nerd I wanted to gain some intel on the route it takes...

Hi all, I am having trouble getting my recent delay repay claim accepted by Southern. It's been rejected three times now even though as far as I can see I've fulfilled all the criteria. On June 6th my train from Purley to Farringdon at 07.58 was cancelled causing an approximate 45 minute delay...

Hi all, This Saturday just gone the family and I went from Purley to Fishbourne on split tickets. On the way back the train from Fishbourne was cancelled forcing us bus it to Chichester to get the next London train. I want to claim DR for this but I want to make sure that I am not going to have...

Bit of an off-beat question this, but I'm trying to get a sound system set up in one of the Bermondsey arches (just a simple amp and mic thing is the order of the day) but the sound set up we currently have suffers from random bursts of electrostatic noise from the railway above. Would anyone be...

Pertaining to the above - anyone know what the speed restriction on the slow lines just to the north of Purley station is about?

Mornin' I'm off from London Bridge to Bognor this evening. I have a Z1-6 season ticket but booking systems do not allow the selection of Boundary Zone X to X tickets. So inputting my requirements into the RUK ticket system I've gone for a return from Coulsdon South and this has come up...
