Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/introducing-railuk-tickets-support-the-forum-when-booking-your-rail-tickets.236796 I've mentioned previously the idea of "most likely to get delay repay" - while I appreciate that's technically difficult, is there a way atm that I...

On TripAdvisor - or any other review site - you generally have patterns that look like this: For a "good" place For a "bad" place (I won't give sources for either of the above as I just clicked around London for a couple of minutes to find ones that illustrated my point but search term...

In a weeks time, I will go with Mrs Centric with a pile of luggage - six suitcases - to give it (and Mrs Centric) to a family member. They will be working in the Bull Ring and, while I am currently thousands of miles away (hence the large amount of suitcases) we will be setting off from Watford...

Well, this is a bit of niche category, but I lol'd at this:

The above I recall from "Notes from a Small Island" by Bill Bryson (a classic if you haven't read it), a travel book from the early 1990s and end days of British Rail. Fare anomalies have been with us for a a long time. Any idea what was the first? The existence of the Railway Clearing House...

Any provisional interest in joining a trip to whatever remains of the Albanian rail network in mid-end 2024? By replying you are only expressing interest, not committing to anything! Would also be interested in any anecdotes anyone has who has given it a go. It seems in uniquely poor repair...

It occurs to me with primitive pull-push technology that it ought to have been sufficient - if certainly less than ideal - to have an end car where the sole controls were the brake and the whistle, leaving the regulator and reverser up to the fireman (or perhaps another driver, or a combined...

This is not an easy question for me to phrase but I'll give it a go: To what extent from the railway's point of view are railcards about market segmentation, such that the revenue from the railcard itself is incidental? (if my question is understood some may see where I'm going with this ;))

It's a popular thing to say here that it's illegal to give immigration advice to posters. This is certainly not without basis. There is definitely some kinda law saying something. But I must admit to some skepticism so I had a wee look. Context to begin with and why I was also looking: Firstly...

Tomorrow (well today given the time) I arrive into Manchester Piccadilly on a Watford-Manchester Stations advance. A little bit later someone else will arrive in Victoria on a Durham-Manchester Stations advance. Meanwhile I'll buy a metrolink ticket (not sure what yet as not that familiar with...

Hovertravel is offering two special journies in June and September to show off what its hovercrafts can do (as it were). More details here Has anyone done this before? Was it worth it?

Up here it's pretty common for people travelling on the tyne & wear metro who are finished for the day to leave their zonal tickets around so that other travelers can use them. Similar behaviour happens in car parks etc where parking tickets are left around... I think this is probably why you...

Just had a "spark" of an idea which I hereby release to RailUK Tickets (and Trainsplit) only - up to you guys what you do with it (probably nothing) and anyone else can pay me now that I have put this in public writing hehe Given the state some of the rail network is in at present, it may be...

(Mods: this might be supposed to be in the LNER timetable thread but that seems focussed on generalities, pls move if it's wrong place) I'm supposed to be on the 14:04 from Durham to Kings Cross on Sunday. What I am not sure about is if it's running and what the authoratative source is. On...

What's a door push test? I am currently driving a Class 323 on Train Sim World 3 and the cab doors have stickers on them telling me to carry one out after closing the door. This isn't actually something you can do "in sim" - it's just a texture basically. My guess, going purely off the name...

I have some questions about curious speed limits/signals in the Bakerloo Line as encountered in Train Sim World 3 but I want to check first if the latter is actually representing it accurately. Is there any equivalent to a sectional appendix publically (or semi-publically wink wink) available I...

Lots of threads here where some (alleged - or friend of alleged!) miscreant has had the TOC or TIL make requests to Trainline etc when said miscreant has been stopped and reported e.g. for travelling without a railcard. What I’m not clear on is this: is the scale this is apparently being done...

I *was* taking the 14:27 Grand Central from Kings Cross, arriving Northallerton 16:43 and switching onto the 16:55 LNER service to Durham. First class at £70 then £10.80 respectively The latter has been cancelled. What are the possible plans here? With the earlier Delay Repay system the best...

Today was the third time I've been on an IEP being driven artificially slowly* and each time it's been jerky - is this possible to mitigate with driving technique or is it pretty much inevitable? I could fully understand that if there is a "minimum" power setting and you are driving the train up...

I have an advance from Durham to Kings Cross leaving 3:45ish - my ultimate destination being Watford. I've a vague plan of trying to get someone to endorse the ticket to travel via Birmingham instead so that I can avoid what will probably be a couple of hours queueing at Euston at the other end...
