    Decoding Slovak Timetable note

    I still don't quite understand what the note means, the dates are not adding up for me. Would anyone be kind enough to explain please? Thanks

    Decoding Slovak Timetable note

    I have been staring at this and still can't quite grasp it. So, until 21/06 it runs on weekends, between 27/06 and 31/08 it's daily, from 05/09 it's on weekends only, except between 22/12 and 05/01 when it's daily again?? I could think of a few easier ways to convey that! :D

    Surprisingly important stations outside the UK

    In Slovenia, Zidani Most (population 198) is a very important junction, and indeed quite a scenic location.

    Trivia: Examples of stations in other countries that are very close to each other.

    Except that "Dworzec Letni" is not a separate station any more, it is simply signed as a platform of Poznań Główny, Platform 9. There is another curious Platform 9 at Warszawa Zachodnia, about 10 minutes walk from the rest of the station! Other examples in Poland are: Świnoujście and...

    Port railway stations in mainland Europe

    Świnoujście Port station in Poland, which is a kind of an extension of Świnoujście station. The extremities of the stations' platforms are only about 110 m apart.

    No worries. Here is the general timetable for the airport station as well, and the detailed one (departures and arrivals). All links are PDFs.

    European railways - no fences!

    Just wanted to share this fragment from a cult Polish movie "Day of the Wacko" - the character boards the train whilst it is still in the sidings, before moving to the station and starting its journey, in order to secure the "best" seat.

    Connections between Katowice Airport and Gliwice

    I used the Airport - Katowice direct non-stop bus (line "AP") recently. It takes about 45 minutes and runs half-hourly most of the time. It drops you off straight under Katowice railway station where there should be a reasonable amount of connections to Gliwice. By rail only, you have S14/S19...

    Manchester-Euston Super Off-Peak Return weird bank holiday error?

    Ah good point! It didn't cross my mind to cross-reference it with this year's dates. Thank you!

    Manchester-Euston Super Off-Peak Return weird bank holiday error?

    That's great to hear, thanks. I presume you mean West Midlands Trains though, as this ticket specifically excludes Avanti services and is not priced by them?

    Manchester-Euston Super Off-Peak Return weird bank holiday error?

    Hello, I am planning to use this ticket in May 2025. My return journey will be on 26 May (bank holiday) and I would like to depart from Euston at about 9am. I have learnt from previous discussions on this forum that restrictions are usually lifted for bank holidays. My journey is too far in...

    Trivia: Tickets that are impossible to use

    I can't see the return service on 1 January. But you are correct about the restrictions, they seem to be lifted for bank holidays (according to brfares.com) - seemingly to no practical effect as there aren't any return services! Come to think of it, a Manchester-Ardwick Day Return is totally...

    Trivia: Tickets that are impossible to use

    Just had a look at the Ardwick to Manchester Piccadilly Off-Peak Day Return (£3.50) Ardwick to Piccadilly has one service daily (Mon-Sat) at 0716 Piccadilly to Ardwick has one service daily (Mon-Fri) at 1657 It is impossible to use the Off-Peak Day Return since it is only valid from 0930 to...
