I'm aiming to travel on this line after Northern Ireland play at home to Hungary on September 28th. I've noticed that after Northern Ireland play at home an extra train is added which uses Belfast Cental Junction - Belfast City Junction. However for the forthcoming fixture there is no sign of...

I agree it is probably a unit on skates. Judging by its booked arrival time of 0442 in Guildford they probably can't get it Reading in one night without it interfering with morning start up. Expect another path on another night from Guildford to Reading. Alternatively they may road transport...

For as long as I've worked on the railways there has been occasional mix up with units. I don't think it is particularly more common with TfW. I also feel that doesn't matter how hard TfW try there will be the occasional error. It is quite rare. If you spot an error like this it can be helpful...

Apologies I gave All Platforms the wrong infomation. I correctly remembered the short-lived London Crosslink used Old Kew Junction towards South Acton. However I went off memory thinking it ran at the start of privatisation and not 2000 - 2002. I should have tried to look up the exact dates...

The fastest time from Brentford to London Waterloo is 29 minutes by a South Western train. The time from Brentford to London Euston by the Great Western sleeper is only 25 minutes.

1/8/26 Bristol - Portbury Dock On an excellent Class 47 tour from Crewe.

30/07/26 Birmingham Bull Street to Milenium Point Milenium Point to Coorporation Street After 51 years 1 month and 3 days all train lines, underground lines and tram lines completed in Great Britain under my rules. My rules are basically passenger lines and metro / tram / underground lines...

I've still been reading your reports over the years. Always very enjoyable. Best of luck finishing the last few stations.

Many thanks Gaz. That's really useful.

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is an equivalent to Real Time Trains in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Many thanks in advance.

June 11th Tiny bit of track between the West Coast Mainline and the St Albans branch at Watford Junction covered by the 15.19 London Euston - St Albans service.

I've never seen a tour advertised. I've definitely never seen an electric tour.

Harlesden Junction - Acton Central Wharf Junction Acton Wells Junction - Mitre Bridge Junction Both completed on 1st May on the InterCity 125 tour which I took from Stoke on Trent to Reading.

In BR days I used to live near the Hooton - Helsby line. This used to have a half hourly 2 car DMU passenger service and many freight services mainly from the oil refinery at Ellesmere Port. The DMU services were frequently delayed by the freight services. It got so bad that it was reported in...

April 20th Watford - Rickmansworth direct (Watford North curve)

Yes that is correct. All worked out well on the end.

Many thanks both. Fingers crossed for Sunday. 1776793636 Many thanks for all the infomation. I was successful on Sunday covering the Metropolitan line direct from Watford to Rickmansworth. The service ran as per the timetable.

Many thanks. I don't know what WTT347 is but I assume that means there is a 00.19 Watford - Rickmansworth.

Now that it is nearer the time can anyone check if the Sunday night 00.19, technically- Monday morning Watford -Rickmansworth is likely to run this Sunday 19th April. If not are there any other trains this Sunday night likely to run Watford - Rickmansworth direct via Watford North Curve. I...

i'm planning to catch the 00.19 Watford - Rickmansworth on Monday 20th April in order to travel on Watford North Curve. I'm just wondering if anyone can advise on the chances of this service running on this date. The last time I tried it was cancelled due to late notice engineering work.
