    Route TILBY EXCL FERRY no longer exists

    When is the Railforum members outing from Bromley South to London Bridge via Ramsgate taking place? I presume the Anytime Day Single allows a break of journey? :)

    Caledonian Sleeper bidders named

    I think it depends on what market the operator and Scottish government are aiming at. Will the seated saloon go for a no frills leather recliner to compete with Megabus/National Express or will it go down the path of more of a flat bed style? Will first class be en-suite, with say an inclusive...

    East Midlands Trains ticket collection machines

    I always find the ticket office staff in Leicester very helpful, but I do feel awful going in and explaining that my Plusbus ticket hasn't been printed, and putting them to the trouble of looking up my reference number to confirm it hasn't printed. I tend to avoid those machines and use the...

    East Midlands Trains ticket collection machines

    Excuse my ignorance on various ticket machines, but these sort (see pic) at Leicester are useless. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/SME/html/NRE_LEI/images/photos/800/o2334-0012446.jpg I order online from Redspottedhanky for collection at Leicester. If I order a ticket with Plusbus, they print...

    Patrice helped my elderly dad, his mobility scooter and I on an East Coast service at the beginning of December at Edinburgh Waverley. He was super helpful, pleasant and is a super ambassador for East Coast.

    My idea for reinstating South West to Scotland sleepers

    It has to be one of the most romantic images in the UK, catching a night sleeper in the back end of beyond at the height of winter. I presume that the local crews know to keep a lookout for passengers at request stops? http://www.visitscotland.com/cms-images/2x1/travel-weather/train/sleeper...

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    It would have been nice to have had some gravy with it, but I would imagine that the Health & Safety and cleaning goblins would have a field day condeming gravy on a train. It actually looked alright on the plate, but it was very dry meat and pastry. I needed a few red wines and G&Ts to...
