I’ve not found a conclusive answer to this online. Does a first class interail pass and corresponding tgv reservation get you into a lounge in Paris?

Amtrak's NextGen Acela launched yesterday (otherwise known as Avelia Liberty). Lots of coverage and videos out there. The interiors look really lovely imho. I was curious - why are the previous sets being retired when they're still relatively young? The Independent manages a typically negative...

I'm planning a trip in Austria next month and have a 4 minutes cross platform change at Schwarzach St Veit. While of course nothing is certain, would those who use OBB consider this doable? From what I can work out this is an official connection with journey planners showing it. (from the 13.09...

I had a notification from Trainsplit that my train, the 14.07 from Machynlleth to Shrewsbury is cancelled this Friday, 22 Aug. However every source I have tried still lists it as running. I'll keep checking but anxious not to have any nasty surprises as its the first part of a complicated...

I'm planning a trip from Ljubliana to Vienna next month and wondered if there is any reason to chose the route via Graz over the route via Villach or vice versa? I'm aware there's a direct train but the time doesn't suit me, as I want to travel earlier in the day. I'll be travelling into...

Line is closed until Tuesday apparently. Local TV news suggested it’s a signalling issue. Not sure when the issue started but seems like a usually long closure. “No trains can run between Crowborough and Uckfield until Tuesday 12 August. You will need to use alternative routes to reach your...

Just wondering - has this route always been an hourly frequency on a Sunday or is it a post covid thing? Trains are routinely packed and standing - today staff are advising passengers to London to get off at Haywards Heath to get a train coming from Brighton for a seat.

Catching a replacement bus tonight (luckily in the opposite direction to Tunbridge Wells) this evening I was surprised to see this sign, directing northbound passengers to a stop a 30 minute walk away, uphill, on a road mostly unlit. It seems…unreasonable?! Image my own.

Just booked onto LNER's 10.00 Kings Cross to Aberdeen Service on 9 June and noted that coach B was missing from the seating plan - what reason might this be for?!

Hi, I wondered if forum users could shed any light on whether it's possible to buy railcards from overseas. Friends of mine want to buy a Two Together railcard, and for ease would prefer to do it online and get a digital one (also so they could use it on the Heathrow Express). The Two Together...

I'm shortly about to embark on a trip to Japan. Will be based in Tokyo and Kyoto, and am already intending to do day trips to Hiroshima, Osaka, Kobe and Nara from Kyoto. I wonder though are there any smaller, slower, more scenic lines I should consider for the ride alone?

Announced today, though it feels like it’s been talked about for decades already, and I can imagine any incoming government of a different political persuasion cancelling it immediately… https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-announces-high-speed-rail-quebec-toronto-1.7462538

A truly thrilling topic...but I wondered if there is any rationale behind the seating configurations on Southern 377's? I've noted at least 3 variants per 4 car set 1) 2+2 seating throughout 2) 3+2 in centre carriages and 2+2 in end carriages 3) 3+2 in centre of each carriage and 2+2 at the end...

Travelling today from Lewes to Birmingham, changing at Clapham Junction and Watford Junction on a Lewes-Birmingham advance ticket. The train from Clapham to Watford was, of course, cancelled. Taking that route on a later service would have meant a long wait at Clapham Junction or Watford and an...

I thought I’d write up a quick report of this trip to Florence and back, with the route being London - Paris - Zurich (overnight) - Chur - Tirano - Milan - Florence on the way out and Florence - Pistoia - Porretta - Bologna - Milano - Zurich (overnight) - Paris (overnight) - London on the...

I'm travelling from Florence to Zurich next week and was interested to discover this direct train leaving Bologna at 13.30. I wondered if anyone knew what type of train it is? There seems to be standard seating but also Business and First class and I wondered what the difference between Business...

Hi all, Hoping you may be able to help / confirm my fears. I'm travelling from Zurich to Milan via the Bernina Express this Friday and from what I can see the regional train from Tirano seems to have a part bus replacement. I can't see anything about this in the 'Planned changes' part of the...

Hi all, Hoping I might get some advice from you all. On 1 January I was travelling from London Bridge to Lewes via Haywards Heath. I caught the 22.39 from London Bridge, arriving Haywards Heath at 23.25. I could see from my various apps that the 23.30 train to Lewes (the last of the day) was...

I’m currently taking my first ever trip on this line. I’m curious that all alighting and boarding seems to be done through one single door at the front of the train at intermediate stations, all of which so far seem long enough for two coaches. Why is this? Doh - since realised we coupled to...

I’ve a Norwich to London terminals advance ticket tomorrow but the itinerary booked is on a train only as far as Stratford with recommended transfer in the tube from there. Can I really not just stay on the train to Liverpool Street?
