    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    The forum website recommends the TrainSplit app - does the forum still benefit from this financially if I book on the iPhone app as opposed to the website?

    Scanning Photographs

    He has a vague idea of publishing a book, they are good photographs but there are a lot out there and I don't think he should go down the route of vanity publishing personally. I did suggest him putting them on flicker but I'm not sure he really understands that concept - maybe once I've shown...

    Scanning Photographs

    I have to assist my computer-illiterate Uncle in scanning has large collection of mostly railway photographs and I'm looking for advice. Although I've been a software engineer for over 25 years I've never once had reason to use a scanner! He has an iMac and a scanner. The photographs are mixture...

    Uber ticketing

    yeah most odd, I'll give 'em a bell after lunch. 1780584702 Got this sorted in the end, they said to buy a new ticket and then they refunded the original one. A bit long-winded but fair play to them they are pretty helpful :)

    Kyle of Lochalsh To Mallaig via Skye

    The date would be Wednesday 1st July - I have no children myself hence am totally clueless when school holidays occur. 70 sheets is a bit rich for my pockets seeing as I'll be travelling solo. arrrggh! looks like a sherbert from broadfoot to Armadale then!

    Loconundrum

    STP is good: 5 mins walk to KGX 10 mins walk to EUS 5 mins train then 2 mins train to LST. etc Plus S and T are very common letters so you've got more chance of greening or yellowing part of the CRS code.

    First class rear on Thameslink allways declassified.

    Bloody tiktoks! :{ I walk to the end at PRP if I'm going to Farringdon as it's bang on for the Lizzie line entrance, same for STP as I'm never in that much of a rush as I'm usually on an advance from there, KGX or EUS and allow plenty of time.
