Are any trains operating on SWR on Monday 8th May 2023? I had a booking on SWR which has been cancelled. The journey planner and nationalrail.co.uk show no trains. TIA

I am trying to find the address of the Scout Motor Services booking office (for express services, tours, excursions etc) in Preston in the 1950s. Possibly Sheppard xxxxxx based on a fuzzy image on Fickr but could be completely wrong. Any ideas?

https://www.passengertransport.co.uk/2023/02/northern-gives-fare-dodgers-the-red-card/ Worth a read but I dont think provides any significant additional insight to regular readers of this forum. It could be seen as a party political broadcast on behalf of the "Carlisle Party" and thus ignores...

I wish to travel Wareham - Cambridge. Out Monday 20 Feb to arrive in Cambridge mid afternoon. (This can be fixed) Ret Friday 24 Feb to depart Cambridge mid afternoon but I would like flexibility. I hold a Senior Railcard. I can find 2 X advance fares (one out one back) to give a round trip fare...

I am booking a ticket to travel from Wareham to London Waterloo on 7/3/2022 at 06:27. I have a Senior Railcard. South Western Railways booking engine is giving me the SC discount on an advance fare (ie the date and time of dept is set) and yet I am sure that the card can not be used at this...

I have had reason to travel on National Express for business. The company I work for requires a receipt for the ticket purchase and this has to be submitted electronically. Is there a way of printing a receipt showing the fare paid from the National Express Account? The ticket confirmation...

I have to go to Madingley Hall Cambridge for a meeting in the middle of October. I am travelling by train to Cambridge. As hard as I try I cant seem to find any bus services (public or university) that serve Madingley Hall or a point nearby. Am I missing something or is this a destination...

Does anyone know if easyBus have ceased operating services in their own right (ie under their own operators licence)? The service from Park Royal - Fulham - Gatwick Airport is not giving any results on their booking engine.

I wish to fly on the Loganair service which lands on Barra Beach. Given the cost of this flight (and getting to Glasgow) does anyone have any recommendations as to how I could combine it with other flights to other Islands at a sensible cost. Is there the equivalent of an island hopper (havent...

Due to the post strike effects of the RMT action, I travelled by coach from the South Coast to London Victoria and back yesterday. This morning I have received a survey from NExp which after asking views on yesterdays journeys then sought my opinion on tipping drivers (attitude towards, when...

Mod Note: Posts #1 - #9 originally in this thread. but if the TOC has no liability as a result of failing to notice the railcard was out of date, what is the point in their checking the card at all?

Is this service likely to return to operation anytime soon? I couldnt find anything on the SWR website (or National Express the operator) to indicate it is. TIA.

I booked a ticket on Cross Country by, I think, clicking through from the National Rail Enquiries website. I received the ticket by email. I now need to cancel the booking but Cross Country Customer Service want the booking ref number but this is not on the email. All I have is the ticket...

Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/appalling-treatment-by-south-western-railway.223041/ I note with some disappointment that the consensus of opinion is that sarcasm is not a form of bullying. To those who believe that sarcasm is acceptable behaviour I ask them to...

I am trying to find out on what routes did the Big Four Rail Companies compete after the 1923 Grouping? How did they compete (frequency, fares, aggressive marketing)? TIA

An historical question hoping someone can answer. Does anyone know (or can point to the source) why the Pullman Car Company was NOT nationalised in 1948? Somewhat oddly an internet search revealed through Hansard that this question was asked in the House (of Commons) in 1948 but the Hon James...

I am aware that traffic surveys - essentially how many people were travelling from x to y on a certain date - were carried out in the 1950s and 1960s. Did British Railways carry out any form of passenger survey / passenger questionnaire type activity in the 50s and 60s to establish what...

Where did the familiar railway posters of the 1948 - 1965 period appear? Were they just displayed at railway stations (or on hoardings alongside BR property) or did they appear elsewhere (ie on non railway owned property).? TIA

I need to go to Kew Bridge for the day travelling in the morning peak on a Wednesday to arrive KB between 0930 and 1000 and to leave there about 16:00. Any suggestions for the cheapest possible way of doing this?

Please can someone point me in the direction of a high quality image of a carriage roof board for one of the well known named trains? (The real thing and not a model please). Thanks.
