    *International* Guess The Station

    Yes, I was thinking along the same lines. Is it Bad Gastein?

    End of loco-hauled Roma-Sicily InterCities?

    I'm pretty sure the OP was referring to InterCity but not Intercity Notte ( post #1 says "daytime" )

    Walking across Bicester: ticket validity

    I would say yes. You can rely on the itinerary to show it’s valid via Haddenham and you can then rely on the properties of the ticket (off peak return Oxford-Leamington Spa) which:- (a) does not require you to travel on a specific train or trains; (b) allows you to travel any time on a Sunday...

    First class rear on Thameslink allways declassified.

    When that's happened to me ( (an unplanned diversion via Lewes ) the PIS didn't update and continued to show the d-class message in the loop on the screens in what was now the front of the train. 1780696404 They certainly have done so in the recent-ish past during disruption. Maybe only a...

    Walking across Bicester: ticket validity

    Thanks - that's an interesting point. When I last discussed this with a journey planner developer ( a long time ago!) the consensus seemed to be that only routeing points/group members passed through needed to be considered - I'll need to have a further think! If the OP follows the advice...

    Walking across Bicester: ticket validity

    But not if the destination is Leamington Spa, surely?

    Walking across Bicester: ticket validity

    Perhaps I'm missing something. Agreed that it's not the shortest route nor a direct train. However, as far as I can see it is a mapped route on SM. The journey via Haddenham doesn't pass through Princes Risborough so the absence of a map link between the two is irrelevant. The journey goes...

    Walking across Bicester: ticket validity

    Trainsplit and Silverrail (I tried Chiltern) will both offer an Oxford-Leamington off peak single via Haddenham. ( For Trainsplit, that's with splits turned off - offering the split at Banbury definitely looks iffy - as noted in above .) Is there a reason why you think it isn't valid via...

    Walking across Bicester: ticket validity

    I think it should be. I would recommend buying your ticket with an itinerary from the forum site ( turning off splits, specifying via Haddenham for the outward leg and buying a ticket that allows break of journey - e.g. https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=OXF&dest=LMS&rte=267&tkt=SVR .)...

    Walking across Bicester: ticket validity

    That's right. The link on map SM between Oxford and Banbury Group covers the direct route and also via Haddenham ( as that doesn't pass through any other routeing point.) Easement 700913 doesn't apply for Oxford-Leamington Journeys as the destination isn't Banbury or Kings Sutton. ( This would...

    Using an itinerary to validate a route at a different time.

    That is broadly true. The only exception I can think of is that easements affecting routeing can be tied to specific service IDs and so will be time dependant. 600080 is an example - "Customers holding tickets routed NOT DARLINGTON may travel via Darlington using specific train UIDs (Y23904...

    New, Spectacular and Futuristic Railway Station in Mons, Belgium

    It looked far better when the full Daniel Buren colour scheme was applied ( "Comme tombées du ciel, les couleurs in situ et en mouvement." - https://danielburen.com/images/exhibit/2961 ) That looked good even in typical Wallonian weather.

    Interrail Passes

    That's good to know - is that documented officially anywhere? I looked at seat61 ... https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm ... and searched for "quota" As far as I can see it says that there are quotas for Interrail/Eurail for TGV France-Italy, TGV France-Spain, TGV...

    Interrail Passes

    It's already happened I think. Certainly they're in the railplanner app for today. See also https://www.seat61.com/news.htm Will be interesting to see how much Interrail availability there is.

    Valid Route Mansfield-Invernes

    Map combinations... TC+EG+EI TC+EG+IE TC+EG+KI TC+EI TC+GI TC+IE TC+KI ... all give you mapped routes over the Settle-Carlisle line travelling via Nottingham,Sheffield and Leeds. The shortest route (which goes via Worksop ) also runs over the S-C.

    Interrail trip to Germany

    I had a similar reaction at first but once I'd recalibrated I thought the Nürnberg site was really good. I'm guessing that to fill the gap you might need to take in the other DB Museum sites.

    Marylebone Dual Boarding

    You could also add in unintelligible/inaudible announcements. I've almost been caught out at St Pancras HL before. But, apparently, some people think it's *always* the passengers fault. ( No doubt sometimes it is.)

    Strange Routeing Cambridge to London via Ipswich

    Harold Wood is the first station you reach inside Z6. Cambridge to Harold Wood is mapped via Ipswich on EA. See e.g. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/travelcard-routing-from-reading.299486/#post-7705455 for more info.

    NSE to Silverlink “Gap”

    Quite right - probably just faulty memory.

    NSE to Silverlink “Gap”

    NLR were part of my backup commute in the early mid-90s - it definitely had a separate (post-NSE and pre-Siliverlink) branding - purple and green come to mind.
