Is there somewhere reliable for live updates/service information that is kept up to date that I'm missing? I just boarded a tram at Sheffield station and the conductor immediately told everyone that there was no service between Gleadless and Halfway today due to a sinkhole appearing. However...

EMR 170 have arguably the most comfortable standard class seating on the network in the front/rear segment that presumably were once first class compartments? A lot of passengers, even on crowded services, don't realise these are standard class Very comfy wide seats and standard class...

Over the past few weeks much of the network has been disrupted on and off due to the effects of heat Given we're not exactly the warmest country in the world, it does raise the question of how others manage. Recently in Italy, I noticed all the lines were painted white. It was 37°c+ at times...

I boarded a late afternoon train from Alton to Waterloo which stopped at Esher just after 5pm despite the boards not showing it as doing so. The station was empty, a couple of people got on, noone got off but certainly didn't seem to be anything really deserving of a stop going on and everyone...

Tonight there is severe disruption on the SWML due to flooding and heavy weather. It happens fine. I don't know enough to comment whether SWR could have done more or not. However, people have gone to twitter/X to ask questions and scrolling through the answers it's very clear that the SWHelp...

Hi, I currently have an evening out single from Woking to Guildford I bought ~30 mins ago from the SWR app. At the time it wouldn't let me have an itinerary of the first two scheduled services so I had to pick the 21:55. This and the 22:13 are also showing as cancelled and their twitter openly...

Today at Guildford platform 6, plenty of commuters almost tripping over the shrubbery growth getting off one of the strike day services. (I decided to personally board at the next set of doors which I quickly regretted when a member of staff yelled at me for daring to get in his way despite...

Tonight I decided to stop off at Burgess Hill (circa 7pm) on an off peak return ticket valid through the station. I'd never been there before and as I got to the platform 1 gateline I saw 2 girls pushing their way through, I admit I thought the worst of them and that they must be travelling...

Today I was on the 13:25 Woking to Portsmouth harbour service and as we approached Milford we slowed down and stopped in the station (despite not being scheduled to call there) I was in the front carriage and could see that cars were crossing the tracks in front of us. After about a minute the...

Found this rather amusing tonight on the last SWR train from Guildford to Waterloo. At every single station the same announcement would be repeated "Make sure you're in the front 8 carriages for Wimbledon and Clapham junction as these stations have short platforms". With so many stops it almost...

So tonight I was at Woking hoping to board the 22:13 service to Haslemere. The train that pulled up was a 5 coach 458 that said "not in service" on the front. This is the first time I've seen a 458 on this route but I don't travel it all that often. Anyway being only 5 carriages it was packed...

I just arrived at Wimbledon off a paper ticket transferring to Thameslink. I tapped my card and it didn't seem to obviously do anything. I tapped a second time and again no change on the screen and no sound just a generic message and the orange light throughout. I asked the guy on the platform...

Tonight at Redhill station the 19:18 service to Luton was scheduled to depart from platform 2. However, a freight train pulled into platform 2 as we were waiting and so it was moved to platform 0 about 10 minutes before departure. At 19:17:40 they announced it would now be departing from...

I currently have an off peak return from A to B of which I've used the outbound portion and is validdfor 1 month for the return. If I now buy another off peak return to use tomorrow from B to A and use the outbound portions ,Am I then free to use both return portions to break the journey...

Hello, I've booked a seemingly unchangeable Barcelona-Sants to Madrid ticket and the earliest I can get to Barcelona Sants from La Tour Carole is 15 minutes before my AVE train leaves. Usually I'd never book with such a short interchange in the UK or elsewhere but I know in the UK any issues...

I didn't press it for obvious reasons but it appears that this end of carriage door is openable straight onto the front loco. The train is R606 Tatran in Slovakia. Is it actually likely to be unlocked and would this be allowed in the uk?

And more specifically which stations would you run into no problems being at 24 hours a day? Presumably the thameslink 24hr stations, Derby, Reading, Manchester Airport, Manchester picadilly. Where else?

I'm hoping to use the 24hr thameslink on the 20th July but the nationalrail journeyplanner still is showing as unconfirmed journey

What operators give the best 1st class experience? From my (very) limited knowledge/experience the first class experience on UK long distance operators is far better than elsewhere in Europe - is this true, does anywhere else offer meal service etc? And if not where is better? Also is there...

Hello, I'm mostly curious because I booked an advance LNER&Connections ticket from London to Bridlington changing at Doncaster. This was scheduled to take 3hr25mins and include 1 stop at the time of booking, 1 month ago However, Northern have since changed their schedule and this now requires...
