    BRSA Clubs

    Two in Rugby Railway Club - now LMRCA next to where the old Central Station used to be and The Rugby United Railwaymen's Club & Institute, unsurprisingly in Railway Terrace.

    Saint malo -combourg line what trains?

    What you saw was almost certainly a Regio 2N. Did it have black and white stripes on the front? TER Bretagne have a number of these units.

    Wales & Borders Franchise Consultation

    Indeed. Leominster already has a lesser service than Ludlow despite being (I think) a slightly bigger town. It also ignores the fact that the Manchester trains provide a valuable connection at Crewe to a variety of places for the very stations this proposal seeks to have the service withdrawn...

    Station overcrowding and trains coming through at speed

    The train in question will almost certainly have come from Worcester, thus serving Kidderminster and Stourbridge Junction en route and exactly as Sprinter Guy has said will have been full and deposited the passengers at Snow Hill so that any observation as to how many passengers are on it at...

    What service is this?

    This runs quite often on Sundays. Best guess is route learning as it is only at Rugby for about 20 minutes then goes back to Edge Hill.

    EN Jan Kiepura to finish in December

    Romanian sleepers certainly are. I travelled Timisoara to Iasi last autumn and found myself the only passenger in the entire sleeping car. Coming back I travelled as far as Simeria and there were just 3 occupants. Despite the doubtful economics this and another sleeper still run Timisoara to...

    Railway Webcams

    The news page at : www.sy-country.co.uk/ has a link to a webcam overlooking Wulong Yard at Fuxin in China. Very interesting as steam is still operational there. I'm not able to give a direct link as the webcam page is in Chinese.

    Train from Bucharest to Brasov

    You can book Bucharest to Brasov tickets on line at www.cfrcalatori.ro . It has English translations and accepts UK credit cards. Some trains are not bookable on line but most to Brasov are. The website is a bit clunky but persevere and it works fine. I used it to book a series of trains whilst...

    Almost all Northbound freight goes through platform 2. If you want to photograph that the best place is on platform 1. Some Southbound freight uses platform 5 but the vast majority passes on platform 6. Often freights will wait in the up goods line of which the North end of platform 5 provides a...

    Coventry to Prestatyn

    The way to do it is splitting at Birmingham International. A return Coventry to International is less than £4 at the times you want. International to Prestatyn via Shrewsbury with no change of train. Dep 11:09 £21. Return Dep Prestatyn 12:45 £18 - again via Shrewsbury. No change of train.

    Platform barriers

    Platform 3 at Rugby is a bay so I doubt double voyagers could fly through. I guess you mean Platform 4.
