Currently standing on a short formed train from Cardiff to London (planned for Pullman dining not running, presumably due to this, sigh!) GWR say you can claim 50% of fare back if you had a seat reservation but have to stand. How would this work in my case when I’m on a Cardiff to Lewes ticket?!

Hi all, I'm travelling Lewes to Llandridnod tomorrow on a Lewes-Swansea ticket and a Swansea to Llandridnod ticket (I know the separate tickets shouldn't matter but just for full detail!). I can already see that my 11.38 Swansea to Llandrindod tomorrow is cancelled. The most straightforward...

I am travelling London to Inverurie today on three advance tickets (London to Durham, Durham to Edinburgh and Edinburgh to Inverurie). My first train from London was terminated at York and the next was 40 mins late so I missed the 11.30 from Edinburgh to Aberdeen I was booked on. The guard on...

Quick question - how far in advance does a train need to be cancelled to render delay repay not payable? Was supposed to be on the 14.00 Aberdeen to Inverurie today, the last leg of a trip from London, and was notified by LNER who I booked through that it had been cancelled at 6pm last night...

I don't *think* we have a current thread for this, but obviously happy to be corrected. I took the evening Pullman from Exeter to London on 18 Oct, having gone rather out of my way from Bristol to catch it. I was slightly concerned at Exeter that there were no station announcements about the...

Not sure whether to post this here or in Trip Planning but does anyone know why there don’t seem to be any Eurostar services to the Netherlands this weekend? No info on the Eurostar services updates page.

I'm doing this trip in January, and will be travelling to Florence on a high speed service, but on the return I've no time pressures and I wondered if there were any trains travelling on the older classic lines that are worth taking for the scenery? I'm aware the high speed line spends quite a...

Hi all, I've never done a Railtour before and am considering booking the Northern Belle Christmas lunch from London Victoria. My question is...there are three of us. There is a supplement to pay to secure exclusive use of a bay of 4, but I am wondering if this is really needed? What are the...

Hi all, I'm aware that due to engineering the service between Paris and Zurich is reduced until the end of the year. I'm looking at travelling this route in January 2025 and RailEurope still seems to be showing a reduced service, with the useful train around Midday not running. Does anyone know...

I've just returned from a week in Machynlleth where I used the train a fair bit, both to get there and also to travel around the area. My complaints with the 100% rate of trains with broken AC are documented elsewhere, but a few other things struck me. First was just how busy all the trains were...

Have they given up maintaining them? Now been on 5 different units and the A/C hasn’t worked on any of them!

I took the 22.46 London Victoria to Lewes on 1 August, which was delayed. Southern seem to think it should have arrived at 00.02, whereas realtime trains have it down for a 23.55 arrival. Which is correct? It seems that the delay was annoyingly only 14 minutes in any case, but I'm still curious...

Do they have plans to ever bring these back? I just booked tickets from London to Machynlleth and for a journey of such length it really would be good to book seats.

I travel several thousand miles on UK railways every year but I’m currently experiencing a totally new phenomenon - misrouting. On a train from London to Hastings via Lewes. The train split at Haywards Heath with the rear portion heading to Brighton rather than Hastings. The front portion was...

Just been to print of tickets for a journey from London to Inverurie tomorrow, to avoid any glitches in the morning and was immediately faced with...a glitch! In the past I've understood that you can use any card to retrieve tickets at a machine, but this was asking for the specific card. That...

Back in March I travelled from the UK to Porto and return by train and thought I'd offer a few observations on my trip. My route was (excluding the thrilling trip to London and back from Lewes): London - Paris - Hendaye - Saint Sebastian (Overnight) Saint Sebastian - Madrid - Vigo (Overnight)...

I passed through Brighton today and there was a big revenue protection effort going on. Oddly though they sealed off the East and West Coastway arrivals from the London platforms and didn't allow any passengers to change trains the platform side of the barriers - we all had to leave the barriers...

I'm hoping to travel from Barcelona to Paris on 27 or 28 March, but am absolutely stunned at the price of tickets, around £200 single. Is this usual? Is there any sort of split ticket way to bring the price down?

The post is the thread title really! I never had a chance to sample it but the Elipsos Train Hotel stock always looked really nice, did it get broken up when the service was rather shortsightedly discountinued?

I’m currently on the train from Edinburgh to Aberdeen. It’s busy with football fans who are having a drink or two. Despite the booze ban the staff have said nothing. Yet when I’ve been enjoying a quiet drink on a train on my own I’ve been advised to get rid of it. Obviously it depends on...
