Having just perused the new ATW timetable for West Wales, I'm looking forward to the excellent Sunday afternoon service from Llanelli, where there will be trains to Swansea at 1545 and 1546. We are spoilt for choice! At last a realisation that Sunday afternoon is a peak travel time, even in this...

Has anyone been on the Flamsbana Railway in Norway? I've found the website and it looks very interesting!

After reading the top ten lines thread, and bearing in mind we are going to Leeds soon, what would be the best tickets to do a round trip from Leeds to Leeds via the Lancaster line and back via the Settle and Carlisle (or vice versa)? As an example, leaving Leeds at 1019 and arriving at...

I see the TPE website states that holders of First Class tickets are entitled to complimentary tea, coffee, water and a biscuit on services where refreshments are available. Has anyone ever managed to obtain more than one biscuit? But seriously folks, which TPE trains carry refreshments...

ATW are again running a special train from South Wales to Edinburgh in connection with the Rugby Union 6 Nations Chamionship. http://www.arrivatrainswales.co.uk/ScotlandWalesRugbyTrain/ Does anyone know what sort of stock will be used?

I'm hoping to travel to London next week and I need to get from Paddington to Tower Hill. I used to get the 15 bus, but as that no longer runs all the way I'm thinking of using the Underground. Would I be right in thinking that to avoid changing I can either take the H&C towards Baker St or...

I was looking at the Tfl bus maps last night, and it seems the number 15 bus starts and finishes at Regent Street now. I'm sure I caught it all the way from Paddington to Tower Hill last year - could someone reassure me that I;m not going mad, and let me know when it was cut back? Of course...

For anyone interested, work seems to have begun on the refurbishment of Swansea's High Street station. There was a great dela of banging and clattering behind some recently erected screens (at the side of WH Smith) on the concourse yesterday when I passed through. Apparently work is due...

Following the West Yorks thread in Fares and Ticketing, I have been thinking about the level of Sunday services in general. Are the levels of service provided the right amount, too much, or not enough? In my area, it seems to be just right, although I am a bit mystified that it's not possible...

Hi, we are thinking of a little trip to France in a few months. If we bought SNCF ordinary tickets, are they valid for break for journey? For example, if we bought a return ticket from St Malo to Paris, could we get off somewhere and have a look around on the way or way back? I don't...

I have no opinions either way, but it is entertaining to read a ghost story! Why not leave this thread as a place to tell of any ghostly or spooky happenings and leave people to make up their own minds? I doubt people are going to be swayed either way by anything posted for or against on...

Anyone got any tips for the best fare? One way on Sunday 31 October, no railcards, departing after 1700. As my friends will be flying in to Robin Hood Airport, they need to avoid Advance tickets! Thanks in advance!

Yesterday afternoon I went to catch the 1529 train from Llanelli to Swansea. The previous service, the 1501 which originated in pembroke Dock, arrived at 1528 as a 150 with Cheltenham on the front. It pulled up almost at the end of the platform and the conductor and driver both called out...

Does anyone know what engineering work is taking place on Sunday 31 October? I;m interested in routes that serve South and West Yorkshire, Doncaster or Leeds? I've tried getting detaisl through National Rail Enquiries, but I can't get details of anything. The total user unfirendliness of the...

Today, for the first time, I have chosen to collect my tickets from a TVM. How soon after the booking is completed will I be able to colelct them?

Just a quick question, I'm a bit pushed for time tonight! Is an off peak day single from Plymouth to Par valid for a break of journey at Liskeard? Thanks!

The return fare is £58.60 - does anyone know if splitting anywhere will shave a few pounds off? It's a day trip on Monday 2 August, no railcard, early start and late home! Any help greatly received!

We will be visiting the Bodmin Steam Railway on Saturday 10 July, and will be back at Bodmin Parkway around 1515. According to the Traveline South West site, and the FGW Plymouth - Penzance timetable, the Royal Duchy leaves Bodmin Parkway at 1549 and arives at Par at 1558/1559. I've...

I saw an advert on the side of a bus this morning for Cymru Coonect. This was a brand name I didn't recognise, so I checked it out as soon as I could! It looks as though it's a rail/bus inclusive ticket to palces that are not on the rial netwrok in Wales, such as Caernarfon, St David's...

My partner and I are considering a trip to Devon in July. We'd like to visit the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway and the South Devon Railway. The former's website is a bit frustrating. (It would be much easier if you could see all of the timetables together for the various bus, train...
