Hello rail forums experts, Looking for a little advice please. I want to travel Longton, Uttoxeter, Stafford and back to Longton in a day. Uttoxeter and Stafford are in opposite directions (in rail terms) from Longton. Two returns are over £20 but a Stafford-Uttoxeter return less than £14...

Hello hive mind, I purchased Flexi season tickets for my commute (split tickets for extra value) before summer engineering works were advertised. The works meant no trains from my station, rail replacement buses offered, but turning 45 mins each way into 90+. I have some flex to work from home...

I commute from Stoke to Birmingham a couple of days a week. I’ve found out by accident about disruption next month (nothing on train or at the station yet) but looking further into it I was surprised to see that the LNR Crewe-Stafford service won’t run during this period as I goes nowhere near...

Ok, so a very specific query but it has me wondering and I'm sure someone here will have the answer! Northern run and hourly stopping service between Stoke and Manchester Piccadilly. At Stoke it's always used Platform 3, a north facing bay platform, and is the only service to use that platform...

I know I’m probably on a hiding to nothing, but worth an ask… If my train is cancelled and I realise in time to catch the previous service, am I entitled to delay repay compensation for the disruption? Admittedly I get to my destination early but have to leave my origin early, so have a similar...

Hello my knowledgeable friends, With a change in working pattern coming up, and rail fare hike!, I've been reviewing the best ticket combinations but realised that not all seasons are created equal. Normally for my route (Stoke to Birmingham) a split at Stafford is the best value (saving £5 on...

Sad news, although the line was a bit of an odd one for a Pacer being an ex-colliery line. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2023/12/staffordshire-railway-tells-pacer-train-group-to-find-new-home.html/amp

Not quite sure this is preservation, and definitely not railtours, but couldn’t find a better spot for it. Just seen posted on Facebook that Leek and Rudyard railway is up for sale. Details on link attached...

Hello all, looking for any tips on journey planning for a specific need, I appreciate this is quite niche so there may not be tools for it but if there are someone here will know! My wife is looking to take her nan for a weekend away early autumn, probably somewhere seaside-y; they’ll need to...

Apologies if this has been covered before, I did a quick search and didn’t find anything… Having been frustrated by what feels like a couple of really slow services from my local station (Stoke) and some services getting slower recently I wondered what were the fastest and slowest (direct)...

Love them or hate them, it’s very saddening to hear of the damage done to Pacer Rail Group’s 142055 at Foxfield this week. https://www.facebook.com/141883475881132/posts/4991490977587000/?d=n

Good evening all, hoping for some recommendations (or places to avoid!)...it's my 40th birthday next April and I don't want a party/big fuss etc but would like to mark it with something special...so thinking a weekend away (me, Mrs, and children who'll be 5 and 2.5) including a trip of a steam...

Hoping to access collective knowledge of the community. We're planning to visit Manchester tomorrow for the first day of the Christmas markets. We struggled to park in our normal spots last year and otherwise it's extortionate so hoping to park and tram. Any advice on best tram stop to use...
