I sympathise with you being concerned about future visa applications, ILRs, etc. I've been in your shoes. I'm not giving legal advice, but its important to note that the National Rail website states a penalty fare is *not* a fine - it is purely an exceptional fare charged when a valid ticket...

Thanks for the data point. Was that at the normal French passport control? Or were the new kiosks open and working (I'd heard they might be made available to Business Premier class first)? What was the queuing time like? Off-peak time, midweek in February is probably the quietest time...

It reminds me of the older Xi'an station (not the newer Xi'an North)?

Thank you. I did read the page, hence my question. It refers to LNR as the only affected TOC (not Avanti). I don't know the area well, so I don't know if the problems are only on the slow lines (if they exist?!) which is why only LNR is listed as affected. Or if this is a general issue affecting...

The last Avanti train to leave Birmingham New Street southbound was at 16:30 (an hour ago). Is the disruption at Coventry (https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/coventry-20251121/) causing additional problems at Birmingham or is this all to do with the problem at Stafford causing a...

Hmm. Delhi Junction (aka Old Delhi)?

A long shot - New Delhi railway station?

Does this mean that the reported TfL aspirations of running 4tph Crossrail to Heathrow T5 (combined to make 8tph Crossrail to Heathrow T2&3) are impractical? Or does it mean there needs to be a general recast in service patterns (e.g. remove the skip-stopping and have every passenger service...

The "GWR/Crossrail part" of the station will use the same concourse and exit road as the "HS2 part". I imagine it might add complexity (and cost?) if access to/through the concourse and exit road were provided for GWR/Crossrail passengers before the "HS2 part" construction is completed? Or has...

Oujda? Open floor if correct.

Avignon (not the TGV station, the other one)?

Shenyang (in Manchuria)? Interesting history of the railways and borders around there... Open floor again if that's right.

Świeradów-Zdrój? Open floor if that's right.

Dunkerque?

That's right! This is Le Regino (or Reginu, in Corsican). My photo is from the end of August - a lovely part of the world. This line goes on a very scenic route through the mountains and is still time competitive with road vehicles (mainly because the roads in Corsica are pretty tortuous!)...

The Harlington validators were changed earlier this summer. I took this photo when I noticed the new validators on 27th July (my previous visit to Harlington was in early June, so I think the new validators were changed sometime in that range).

I was further up the line at Gyékényes the two summers ago, but Barcs looks like a pleasant station too. Next up is a locality I don't think we've had before... This station currently sees two trains a day in each direction, seven days a week.

Barcs?

Yonezawa?
