    Carlisle to Killie

    I'm travelling on this route for the first time in October, on paper it could be quite nice. Anyone done it? Tips for things to look out for? Any idea what I will be in, all I know is that there is no First class.

    St Pancras Clock Tower

    At the end of August I am staying the night in An apartment in the St Pancras Tower. Apparently there are steps up behind the clock face and maybe some sort of outside access although I am not 100% sure. It should be pretty good and a notch and a half. Does anyone know more about it or...

    Marlow on Thames Tickets @ Station

    I was at Marlow station this morning (7:10) and noticed the info board stated "if you board the train without a ticket you may be charged by full single or return fare for your journey plus an additional charge in Penalty Fares areas" As there are not ticketing facilities at Marlow this seems...

    Smgpw code on ticket

    I've bought some tickets to Edinburgh from London KX. They have the code SMGPW. Iirc I bought a group ticket (4) so this must mean Small Group something? I thought they said GPS-4 in the past? My parents are asking if they need to bring their Senior a Railcards with them, however it...

    RTV refusal

    I'm currently sat on the 11:35 from Man Picc to Euston. When the guard came around we asked to upgrade to first class. I wanted to use up a £25 RTV so offered it up as part of our upgrade. He said he couldn't accept them as his machine didn't take them? Not happy

    London to Manchester/Altrincham - May BH

    Well my team have trundled into the play-offs so it looks like a home fixture in Altrincham on Saturday 3rd May. I tend to stay over. I see that Virgin is a no go as although I as willing to drive and park at Milton Keynes it would seem the train would only go to Rugby. So option one is...

    3rd Rail

    Returning in to Euston this evening I noticed the Overground trains from Watford Junction. I was remembering that it used to be the Bakerloo line. It made me think, where is the most northerly place on the 3rd rail system?

    London to Stockport

    On line I can see £79 return for today. Can I buy that at Euston or do I have to do it on-line? Off-peak singles it said.

    New poster on ticket

    I noticed at Cheshunt today that there was a new poster up talking about the gateline now swallowing single and day return tickets. A clamp down on the number of used tickets?

    Copenhagen

    Just back from a week in Copenhagen. I was impressed with their driverless Metro system, clean and very frequent. I also took the S train to Malmo, which had several features which would be nice to see here. Comfortable second class seats (2-2) Info displays that list what time the...

    Commute - how much is too much?

    Each year we hear sound bites of season tickets hitting x value from y place. Now I am no lover of the year on year inflation busting fares to what feels like a standing still service - without going into the whys and wherefore to the reasons for this. £5k for Swindon and £8.5k for Gloucester...

    30/12/13 Saturday service

    GA are running a Saturday service today. They state that this is because of the reduced demand, however Twitter is full of reporters of crowded trains will short formations. The main point that confuses me is that they are not charging weekend prices. I also overheard an elderly lady at...

    Lounge Access at Euston

    I believe I read you can access the Virgin first class lounge with advance tickets? I thought this wasn't allowed or am I thinking of another TOC?

    Group Save unavailability

    I am waiting for the release of tickets to Cardiff on the March 15/16 weekend to watch the rugby. Tonight only the 15th is available. There are no advance fares there I take it they come later? I wish there was a standard formula to know when to log on to see these. People on here say...

    Going to White Hart Lane this Sunday (15/12)

    I am going to Tottingham Hotspur FC on Sunday (don't ask). I was out last night and some people I am going with said that there is all sorts of shenanigans going on. Apparently I need to change at Edmonton Green from Theobalds to White Hart Lane? I can't see the plan in my head.
