A bit similar to the "too full to board" thread - today my LNR from Birmingham to Liverpool was terminated at Crewe due to a train fault. Those of us with operator specific tickets had to wait an hour for the next BHM-LIV service, which arrived at final destination about eight minutes late...

The last few days I can't get any results to load when using Trainsplit on my MacBook Air. It still works fine on my iPhone, so I have no idea what's going on. It lets me enter my criteria but then the little multi-coloured line thing just keeps scrolling across the top of my screen and never...

I changed trains at Newport today, and was surprised to see the departure screens near the foot of the stairs on platforms 2/3 have gone. I know they weren't great as they reflected any sunshine making them difficult to read, but on a dull day they worked fine. I do use RTT but wanted to check...

I’m booked on the ex-Cardiff Penzance train tomorrow, boarding at Newton Abbot at 11:50, and returning on the 17:50. Although I have 1st Class Advance tickets both ways, with the prices I paid I’m not optimistic about any refreshments. Is there likely to be anything on offer? Cup of tea? Bottle...

Just tried to book some tickets for July, got to check-out to find the only option available is now e-ticket. While paper tickets are still valid in the UK I really don't think we should be forced into changing to e-tickets. I hope it's maybe just a blip with the version operated by my browser...

Travelled today on the 12:31 Euston train ex-Blackpool (we boarded at Wigan and were going to New Street). Only nine coaches and pretty busy. We had seat reservations but there was a young man sitting in one, with his backpack on the other. Luckily he was most amenable, and immediately and...

Following on from the XC refreshments thread, it got me looking on Trainsplit to double check that the direct XC service Aberdeen to Penzance that we booked for June the other day is what I intended to book. Luckily it is, but I now notice there are two other journeys ABD-PNZ on offer, that...

I’ll start by saying I know I don’t officially have a leg to stand on, Advance tickets are cheap for a reason. However, my plans genuinely changed for today, after I’d already bought a ticket - a meeting of the flat owners at my block was called last week for this afternoon, which I really...

Been overcarried at Conwy as nobody said the front door wouldn’t open. I was told to be in the front two carriages at Chester by the train crew waiting to take it forward, but not informed about the doors. Now waiting for the 15:10 back to Conwy, but I’m not sure if it’s a request stop. Don’t...

Just wondering what would happen if the 1st March strike is called off (this is hypothetical, I'm not expecting it to be) when someone has already made other arrangements and submitted their cut up ticket/s for a refund. Would the refund claim still be allowed if the original journey is now not...

According to NRE restriction code 8A states break of journey is not permitted except to change trains. Does this mean starting/ending short is also not permitted? Ticket is Off Peak Return, return valid within one month. On Transport for Wales and Merseyrail. Short end/start would be on the...

Saw this on Facebook a couple of days ago. Not sure if it has reached this forum but posting here in case it hasn't. Not sure how to attach the photo, will give it a try but apologies if it goes wrong... Apparently we are to use James Street or Lime Street if needed! Moorfields seems not...

There only seems to be platforms 4, 5 and 6 at Bridlington. Anyone know what happened to 1, 2 and 3?

Not sure how it would work, but it would be brilliant if you could buy gift vouchers that can be exchanged for rail tickets. I don't see why it shouldn't be possible. How about adding it to Trainsplit and/or the forum's site?

Used to be announced in December for the new year. Is anything happening in the near future?

Currently showing on West Midlands journey check in the drill down information (Live Travel Updates; Birmingham New Street Lines; Hereford via Worcester; Birmingham New Street): https://www.westmidlandsrailway.co.uk/ Apart from the convoluted way of finding out this information (by accident...

As per the heading, is this acceptable on a non-WMR strike day? There should be a (approx)**50 hourly service until 21:00 on a Friday. I am booked on the 14:50. Luckily I saw the writing on the wall after travelling in the opposite direction on Monday, and have made other arrangements...

Please delete if there's another thread about this... https://nation.cymru/news/minority-of-affected-passengers-seeking-delay-repay-compensation-union-says/ Caught this on the radio news briefs in the small hours of this morning. Was quite surprised that it's the RMT who have flagged this up...

I was surprised when I booked a ticket a week ago on TPE not to get an automatic seat reservation. However when I boarded at Redcar Central I noticed there were no reservation slips on the train, which at that point wasn't at all busy, having started at Saltburn one stop earlier. However it...

If anyone collected a rather expensive ticket (over £100) from Carlisle ToD around midday, for travel tomorrow, they left the ticket and collection slip in the machine. It is with the ticket counter staff.
