Staff at Paddington station from GWR, Heathrow Express and Network Rail have taken on the TikTok trend, the Jerusalema Challenge. In the full video a steam train arrives into Platform 1. Does anybody know when this was filmed? It seems the station was open at the time.

I was at Alderley Edge station yesterday and both the ticket machines were working, but showing completely different fares. The machine to the left (as you were looking at them) was showing an off peak day return to Manchester for £9.50, yet the machine on the right was showing the same ticket...

Hi all. I've been trying to find the price of Weekend First on GWR services. The website states "from £10, depending on how many zones you travel through". The PDF map of the zones is corrupt and won't open. Anybody know the upgrade cost between Paddington and Bristol TM? Also Taunton to...

Are there any day ranger or rover tickets that cover Brighton and the South Coast?

I've noticed that fares between Farnborough (North or Main) to Reading are cheaper than a Farnborough Main to Basingstoke return, yet one of the routes is via Basingstoke to Reading? So I'm guessing a Farnborough Main/North to Reading ticket is valid via Basingstoke and not just on GWR services...

RTÉ News have published the following... Full story at https://www.rte.ie/news/regional/2021/0407/1208479-cross-border-rail-review/ I think this is brilliant for Ireland. Some of the towns and cities are really underserved by the rail network. Opening old lines is also a good thing.

ITV tonight are treating us to re-runs of the documentaries on Birmingham New Street (which had a bit of controversy over a XC Class 170) and the Tyne & Wear Metro. Not sure if Potato (ITV Studios) are making a new series of Paddington 24/7 for Channel 5 as there were filming notifications up...

Hi all I had an Advance (with railcard) ticket from Exeter St David's to Birmingham New Street and wonder if it is possible to get on at Taunton instead of Exeter as it will mean a train to Exeter to come back again (ticket was booked in error). As both stations are GWR and barriered would it...
