Does anyone know if it's possible to find out what events took place at the O2 in Greenwich on past dates? Their website unsurprisingly only shows upcoming events. Specifically interested in last Friday 20th and Saturday 21st January.

I'm in Cardiff on Thursday and need to be in London for 1030 Friday 16th. Because if the strikes I'm going to drive to Cardiff so that I can drive from there to London on Friday morning. But I don't fancy driving and parking in central London. I was planning to park in one of the car parks near...

Is this: https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=DIS&dest=0035&tkt=7TS valid for: 1. One journey into London, unlimited zone 1-6 travel for 7 days, and one journey back to Diss? 2. Unlimited journeys into London, unlimited returns to Diss and unlimited travel in zones 1-6 for 7 days? I think...

I'm idly wondering if there is any technical reasons why the surviving APT vehicles could not be returned to use for railtours (or even spot hire). I know lots of money would be required, and a solution to the now removed trackside equipment that authorised tilt and speed found. But is there a...

I'm doing the outward journey tomorrow, and am likely to be heading out of Paddington in the evening peak. On GWR peak hours before I've heard guards announcing that "off-peak tickets are not valid and if you have one of these tickets you will be charged the full single fare..." My ticket has a...

Walking to the station at Durham this week, I walked along the road under the viaduct. I noticed veritcal cracks running from top to bottom of some of the piers. The pier nearest the station appears to have sunk slightly as you can see the handrails are deformed. It got me wondering, how are...

Thought inspired in another now locked thread, @FenMan said: "For what it's worth, my opinion is established professionals who are set up at home love working remotely. But for younger employees who want to get on who live in flat-shares or have a young family in a small home, i.e most of them...

Can any ticketing whizzes help me out? I need to travel to Durham on Thursday afternoon and come back on Friday. I need somee flexibility if possible, but if not arriving Durham 6pm and leaving 5pm should be fine. The best trainsplit can do is about a tenner cheaper than an off peak return. But...

Whilst waiting for a westbound train at Aldgate East today, I noticed a curious signal and wonder what it is/was? At the end of the platform is a triangular signal with 3 lenses on it. There's a placard attached which says "Rail Gap Ind." What is it and what does it indicate?

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/valid-usage-of-pass-com-or-slamdunk-court-case.223713/ Many years ago on a packed train and very delayed out of Newcastle, someone missed their stop at Chester-le-Street. We were already out of the platform by the time she got to...

For some time now, if you've booked with GA either through their app or on their website using a mobile device, the only option for ticket delivery has been e-tickets. I've always booked using the desktop site to collect TOD tickets (I prefer them and it's easier for making expenses claims)...

Between Peterborough station and Eastfield yard there are some sidings that have obviously not been used for some time. Unremarkable, except they are completely surrounded by white painted pallisade fencing, with a gate that can be opened to let trains in and out. Strikes me as odd to provide...

Just realised the LNER service I'm about to get to Newcastle is an Edinburgh service diverted via Carlise. I'm actually going to Glasgow, and my itinerary is to change at Newcastle to a Carlisle service, then onto an Avanti service to Glasgow. The LNER isn't advertised on the departure boards as...

Not sure if this fits in this part of the forum, but hear me out. My local station has until now had a free car park. GA have spent months and lots of money making it larger and putting a proper surface on it (previously it was roughly surfaced and still had the remains of the goods yard poking...

I'm trying to get up to Glasgow next Sunday. I think my best (cheapest) option is going to be to head into London and then buy an off-peak single from Euston. However, all of the booking websites I've tried are showing hardly any services available. If I click on the "i" icon on GWR's booking...

Does anyone know if there's an equivalent of Trainsplit that can do triangular journeys? I want to go Attleborough - Sleaford - Bedford - Attleborough, first two legs on on day and the third leg on the following day. Would prefer flexibility over timing of third leg but can accept fixed times...

I mean it was always bad, but seems to be worse post-COVID. At Liverpool Street last month Upper Crust wanted 6 quid for a pretty uninspiring baguette. And I've just been at Peterborough. Went into the Pumpkin for a bottle of water. £2.45 for a 500ml bottle! I ummed and ah'd and though about the...

Chaotic and lengthy journey home from Sleaford to East Anglia for me yesterday. Nothing moving from Peterborough to anglia due to lightening strikes on signalling in March area. I eventually got home via Stevenage and Cambridge in time for the last train to Norwich. But I was surprised...

I had a cross-London transfer last Monday, Paddington to Liverpool Street. I decided to use the Circle Line because I had over an hour to make my connection and it's easier and less stuffy than the Bakerloo/Central. Arrived at the platform to find the next train is 15 minutes away. OK, waited. 2...

Is a Spalding - Sleaford off-peak return valid via Peterborough and Grantham? I suspect not, but would be helpful if it is.
