Hi, A steam tour came through my local station yesterday but I only accidentally stumbled across the info about it the day before. So I was wondering, is there a website please that gives advance details of railtours due to come through any given station? Thanks

Hi. Does anyone know why this didn't run today up to Holyhead please? There I was, standing on Newport station, waiting in anticipation for it to arrive at 17:31 and what did I get.... a f*****g 2 car class 150! The Gerald is TfW's jewel in the crown. If they can't even run their flagship...

Is there a single site online to see when steam trains are going to be passing through my a given station - in my case , Wrexham General? So I guess what I'm ideally looking to do is for me to enter my station and a range of dates and for it to then show me all the steam hauled services that...

Hi all, Does anyone know the story behind this rather curious TfW service please. Between Chester and Manchester Piccadilly it can take two different routes, either via Warrington BQ arriving in MP at Platform 13 or via Northwich and Stockport arriving in MP at platform 9. According to RTT...

Hi Everyone, I've bought a 7 day 1st class ALRR for the beginning of June. Wrexham General is my home station and I would love your thoughts on my current plan: Friday 3rd June Wrexham General >>>> Chester >>>> Crewe >>>> Glasgow Central >> (walk to)>> Glasgow Queen Street >>>> Inverness >>>>...

Hi, I was watching one of Don Coffey's brilliant videos on YouTube earlier (Manchester Airport to York), and at the point they reached Huddersfield station (53:21), there was a Scotrail DMU (class 170 I think) sitting at one of the platforms. Does anyone have any idea why that might be? Cheers...

Hi guys, On train tickets and on National Rail's website there is a statement that say that journeys can be completed "via any permitted route". Is there a website where I can put in a starting station and a finishing station and have it tell me/list out all the permitted routes between the...

Hi all, I'm planning to make this journey in first class (coach A) once the direct Monday to Friday service gets (hopefully) reinstated in May. I want to make sure I reserve the right seat so does anyone know..... when the train leaves Aberdeen, will first class (coach A) be at the front or...

Hi, can anyone tell me where I can find timetable information from December 2018 onwards please. I'm particularly interested in the new Chester to Liverpool service via the soon to be re-opened Halton Curve in Cheshire. Thanks

Hi, Regarding this tour, I know that Flying Scotsman is due to pull the Cambrian Coast Express from Chester back to Paddington via Shrewsbury & Newport on the 8th June, but I can't find any information anywhere on the timings for it's departure from Chester. I've even looked on...

Hi, Does anyone know please if this can be purchased as a physical fold out map: http://projectmapping.co.uk/Resources/TOCs%20AS%20v8.5%20April%202015.pdf Thanks very much

I took this journey this Friday just gone (24th) and I should firstly explain that of course I did pay for this journey, the £60 Advance ticket having been bought 2 months ago. What amazed me though is that between arriving at Wrexham station and walking out of Edinburgh station (changed at...

Hi there, On realtimetrains.co.uk is it possible to be able to see where a specific DMU set works throughout the day? Basically the one I'm interested in initially is the 06:53 service from Frodsham into Manchester Piccadilly. I'd be quite interested to see whether sets just go backwards and...

Hi, Hopefully this is the right section to post this into. On Friday 24th April I'm going to be travelling on the 9:09 Virgin Trains service from Crewe to Edinburgh and then the following day on the 18:52 Virgin train from Edinburgh back down to Crewe. For both these I've treated myself to...

Hi, As the title suggests really. The traditional image of a locomotive hauling a rake of coaches on regular timetabled services is now becoming an increasingly rare sight on the network. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks.

Hi I'm going to be traveling from Edinburgh to Inverness next month (returning the following day) on an advance standard class ticket, which Ive already paid for and got. If I wanted to upgrade this to first class on the day how would I do this? Thanks

Hi I'm planning a trip from Wrexham to Kyle of Lochalsh towards the end of April. The outward trip isn't a problem but am slightly concerned about the change at Inverness on the way back. Basically the train from KoL arrives in Inverness at 14:42 with the connecting train leaving for Edinburgh...

Does anyone know of a website that displays a national railmap such as this: http://projectmapping.co.uk/Resources/TOCs%20AS%20v7.9%20Jan%202015.pdf, but which is interactive so you can select/deselect train operators' routes thereby hiding unwanted operators from the map. I was thinking that it...

Hi, I'm planning on taking the through train from Manchester Piccadilly to Norwich in the next few months. This train is usually made of of two 2 coach class 158 sets. Does anyone know please if the train reverses direction anywhere along the route? According to the station announcements at...
