Evening everyone, next Friday I'm likely to have some spare time in Glasgow, maybe three to four hours. The other week I went to Scotland for the first time for the same purpose and travelled St Neots-Peterborough-Edinburgh-Glasgow (via Falkirk High on the way and Via Carstairs on the way back)...

Hey guys, thought I'd kill a few birds with one thread here. Been travelling a lot on c2c recently and had a few questions. 1. The quiet coach. Why? Its not something I ever aim for (Though of course, if I end up in one, I'll be quiet) but on this route it just seems pointless. On long...

Hey guys, Firstly, apologies, I guess this should be in the quiz section but I wasn't able to post there. So mods, if you feel it should be moved, please do :) Recently found the website Sporcle. Many of you may know it, it has quizzes on just about every subject uploaded by users. But...

Hey guys, got to do this journey on Monday, coming back Tuesday, and there's a fair possiblity I'll be doing it on an off peak ticket rather than a lovely combination of advances. If that's that case, how many different routes can i use? Or are there any? I've plenty of experience with Southern...

Hey, has anyone seen any inaccuracies on maps/notice boards that are actually quite substantially wrong, with no effort seen to change them? I.e. been around for ages and/or in plentiful supply? I only ask, as I regularly frequent SWT 455's and the metro map (which may be on 458's and HC...

Hey, was at Euston last night, at 22:20 exactly as I recall it, and the next two trains where Walthamstow Central-bound and the third one for Seven Sisters, nothing strange there (other than the fact a Walthamstow one was coming when I needed it ;) ) On arrival at Seven Sisters on platform 3, I...

Good Evening, I'm traveling to Sunderland for the Arsenal vs Sunderland game. There are two of us, one with a 16-25. I've had a look at fares and its coming in at around £100/£120 for the whole journey, but we have a lift offered, so for my dad to take the train the price needs to drop...

Hey guys. Anyone know the booked 379 turns from Cambridge Southbound to Liverpool Street tomorrow night, and also the likelihood of them being cancelled? I'll try and avoid 317's and go for the Electrostars as I love em xD

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows when any freight movements/network rail test trains/anything out of the ordinary are booked to pass through Tottenham Hale? . I have easy access to Tottenham Hale station and would look out for any freight/passing NR trains. Is there a website that could...

Hey guys, last friday (22nd June) was on the 20:10 FCC Peterborough fast ex-KGX (Non stop to St Neots) and was slowed approaching Hitchin and then held in the down fast. On arrival at St Neots, I saw my train had arrived about 10 minutes late, we departed on time from Kings Cross, so I assume...

Hey guys, booked on the 21:56 Bristol to Exeter St D. next tuesday (29th) and then Exeter St D. to Bristol at 13:25 on the friday (1st June), never been that way or really on sprinters much or pacers at all, so with an hour and a half service each way I'm aiming to settle back and enjoy myself...

Been on a few peak trains to Aylesbury (only going as far as Harrow though, so never been to Rickmansworth) and I know at peak times Chiltern services skip Rickmansworth. I checked wiki (I know) and it says its cause the platforms are too short for the peak 5/6 formations, but the Met uses the...

Hey guys, bought an off peak return today from St. Neots to Epsom. I was intending to come back thursday direct, however I have the chance to stop off tomorrow night in Hatfield. Am I right in thinking this ticket allows me to BoJ overnight? As long as I begin my journey on or after the date it...

Hey guys, got advances to Stafford and back (London), I'm leaving today (25th) coming back Tuesday, however the lecture I was going back for has been cancelled so I don't need to come back so early, I am currently booked to leave at 10:20ish and I'd rather leave at maybe 2/3. I dont get that...

Sitting in Platform 3 at Broxbourne, failed train up ahead (towards London) in Cheshunt, what service? Any one know what's been sent to rescue it? Staff on my StanEx train have been really good so far explaining the situation (sounds like its the driver speaking) top marks for that, if anyone...

Now I'm living in London and using the tube daily, I've started to notice plenty of things around the network from days gone by, for example a Bakerloo line cab showing WATFORD on the display blind, on the Central line maps, it can easily be seen where the Ongar branch has simply been covered...

Hey all, Was waiting at West Hampsted and casually looking at the time tables for the NNL, looking out for any anomalies. I then saw that the first and last trains of the day start and end at Willesden Junction, nothing strange here. However they depart/arrive from the lower level and the...

Hey all, currently sitting on the StanEx (18:39 off Bishops Stortford) been crawling since Broxbourne, intercom announced we were stuck behind a stopper. Anyone know which one and why? Thanks all, not been to much of a problem, more time to use this free wifi on this free iPad of mine xD

Hey all, On Tuesday I should be going down to Soton overnight, just wondering on which route to take, leaving about 4 on Tuesday, coming back by about 2 (any london termni) on Wednesday, never really done SWT apart from frequent metro hops in London, or the SWML beyond Raynes Park. Pretty...
