    Oberbayern

    Berchtesgaden Hbf is called Hbf because before, the town had more stations, as there was also a line going East and then North towards Salzburg which had an Berchtesgaden Ost, as well as a line from a different station across the river from Hbf going South to Königsee.

    Scotrail 334 becomes uncoupled near Uphall (26/11)

    Although in that case, a passenger from the first half of the train would surely have noticed and pulled the emergency break handle before the train had actually left the station.

    Scotrail 334 becomes uncoupled near Uphall (26/11)

    These services don't have guards, only ticket inspectors / OBS. And I've been on a few trains on this corridor whenever I stay at my friends in Livingston where the train had no OBS come round at all, even if it was just 3-car services. So either there wasn't one (unsure if that is allowed on...

    LNER and GWR want to restrict passengers' rights during disruption: is this right?

    The reason why I asked is that - while LNER is obviously wrong - GWR tweeted in the follow-up "you're not covered if the two separate journeys are delayed.". This made me believe that to them, they were NOT a single journey. I don't know if both tweets were by the same member of staff, as the...

    LNER and GWR want to restrict passengers' rights during disruption: is this right?

    Although I believe that compensation is due, just because it seems very reasonable, I have a few questions regarding the procedures surrounding this. It's not that I disagree that the person should get compensated, but I just would like to learn a bit more concerning the (legal) logic behind...

    Amsterdam - questions

    To add on to Radamfi's post, the map posted was from last year. This year's map - although less pretty - does show bus line 397 to Nieuw-Vennep being included. And this bus goes straight to Amsterdam https://www.iamsterdam.com/media/pdf/visiting-uit/getting-around/artt-map-nz-lijn-2018.pdf?la=en

    [trivia] Most used OSI in London?

    Ooh! I actually did Marylebone - Paddington interchange 2.5 weeks ago by foot. Although it was on an interrail ticket, so won't be anywhere in the statistics. Darn!

    Fare between London Blackfriars Rail Station to London St Pancras International Rail Station?

    http://www.brfares.com/#!fares?orig=BFR&dest=STP That page should help you with all prices. Cheapest is 2.50 with an oyster card/contactless (PAYG = Pay As You Go)

    Why do Rome's buses keep catching fire?

    There are 250 Citaro buses running around in Brussels since around 2005. There has been 1 that caught fire (in 2017, trying to start up in the depot) according to my research. There have been two other bus fires since 2010, but both of these were Van Hool A300 buses. I don't know about other...

    Dutch Trains and Trams

    Originally, they planned on running with special high-speed trains, and ended up with the famous FYRA/V250 trains made by AnsaldoBreda which were taken out of service just months after their introduction due to too many failures leading to them being banned in Belgium (they were also used on...

    ATW website says train cancelled, RTT shows it running. Refund?

    RTT has no sign of it having run at all It just isn't cancelled in the system (yet). Didn't pass a timing point so far

    Ghent Trams

    No, it won't be possible. Tram route 4 between Moscou and Ledebergplein isn't running due to street renewal works which are expected to last until at least November 2018. This pdf ( https://static.delijn.be/Images/Pendel%20Vervaenestraat%20dienstregeling_tcm3-18272.pdf ) shows the Pendelbus...

    Amsterdam Eurostar

    The station has a really nice facade from the side of the Koningin Astridplein, and entrance from there is also great. The platforms are placed on three levels stacked on eachother, with a huge space in the middle so you can see from the top to the bottom and vice versa. Quite a grand arrival, I...

    Amsterdam Eurostar

    25mi/40km South-East. The route it would take is as if you were going to advertise Virgin services from London Euston to stop in Crewe, Manchester Piccadilly, and then Liverpool Lime Street. Nice to have a direct connection, but the journey time on Eurostar would be longer than normal train to...

    Major Disruption At Nottingham Due To Fire (12/01)

    Via London would seem quite excessive to me. I'd think that with the current situation, you could get allowance to 'abandon' your advance from York and use Crosscountry to Derby for onward buses if nothing is available from the Newark/Grantham side. Or if they get a plan for tomorrow, you could...

    Major Disruption At Nottingham Due To Fire (12/01)

    There have only been two trains so far today at Alfreton; one from Sheffield southbound which missed out Nottingham direct to East Midlands Parkway at 07:50, and just now at 11:30 one southbound to Norwich which is going via Loughborough too. I've only seen them talk about buses to/from Derby...

    Irish Interrail plans

    You should be able to buy an Interrail with your valid ID. I've not heard of them actually checking where you live. I myself am Dutch, but live in Brussels. I've used both my Belgian Residency Permit ID Card and my Dutch passport to buy Belgian and Dutch interrail passes since, just to be able...
