I’m on an Azuma heading north which will be going via Sleaford and Lincoln due to engineering works. The catering person has just told us to get our hot food and drinks before Peterborough as when we’re running on diesel, there’s no power to the buffet. Is that correct? If I board an Azuma at...

I was at Bradford Interchange looking at the Coastliner printed timetables. You can get from Leeds to Scarborough and Leeds to Whitby, but has Leeds ever had a direct bus service to Bridlington?

I'm going to an event in late March that I've paid for but if there's a train strike, I won't be able to get there. Would regular single-trip travel insurance cover me being reimbursed for the costs of the event tickets if I can't make it or is there a particular type of cover I would need? And...

Hull Trains website says for both of these two-day midweek periods: "We are awaiting confirmation of Network Rail engineering works on our route. Confirmed service details will be added below as soon as we have received a confirmation." It's unusual for midweek engineering works to impact on...

The Northern website is reporting that due to heavy rain affecting the overhead wires in the station area, Northern services will call additionally at St Peters. This will continue until at least Friday 6th January (although after today, there are no Northern services on that line until Sunday...

From time-to-time, I'll have a London-Leeds super offpeak single Route Peterborough but want to travel on Grand Central and go all the way home to Bradford without changing. So I wanted to see where the validity of my London-Leeds ticket would end. The mapped routes from London-Leeds are...

I had time to kill at Doncaster on Saturday and I was trying to work out the logic of between which stations the new PIS says a train currently is: At around 0913-0915, the boards said the following (and I've looked up each train's location now on RTT): 0946 HT to Hull, currently between...

The rules say it’s valid for one journey, on, say a ZONE U123* LONDN add-on. I’m coming to London and staying at a hotel in Canning Town. In order to ride some of the Elizabeth line - and because I’ve never bought an add-on ticket before, I made Custom House EL my destination and TrainSplit...

The minimum connection time at Shipley is 5 minutes. The 1926 from Leeds gets in at 1942, you can then get the 1947 to Frizinghall and Bradford Forster Square. The 2026 from Leeds gets in at 2042, you can then get the 2048 to Frizinghall and Bradford Forster Square, but the 2126 from Leeds gets...

When doing split ticket journeys with paper tickets, say A-B and B-C, if a ticket check happened before B, I would only show my A-B ticket to them, in case my B-C was clipped and a new guard came on and questioned after leaving B, why my ticket was already clipped. But now with the prevalence...

In readiness for going station hopping down the Elizabeth Line, if you tap out at a gateline and then go straight back in at the same gateline, is this treated as the start of a new journey? Rather than, say, it being some kind of OSI where I'd have hit the maximum journey time by the time I'd...

I’m looking to go from Canterbury East to London Bridge, travelling on a weekday, leaving on the 0814. National Rail is suggesting I change at Rainham onto a Thameslink and then change again at Dartford for a Southeastern service. Example journey...

We’ve heard a lot about COVID absences on TOCs, but is there a risk that lines will have to close if there’s a shortage of signalling staff?

According to BR Fares the restrictions on this are: Not valid on trains timed to depart: - London Terminals (except as shown below) after 02:59 and before 09:06 and after 14:59 and before 18:59 (18:15 on Fridays); - London Liverpool Street after 04:29 and before 09:30 (Then other London...

RTT says for the 1S43 1410 London Victoria to Ramsgate, it "divides from 1S42 from London Victoria and joins with 1F38 from St Pancras International". So does that mean that a Class 395 is coupled to whatever comes up from Victoria? If so, does that happen elsewhere on the Southeastern...

Travelling recently from Leeds to Carnforth, I noticed that the line crossed both the A601(M) and the M6 within about 400 yards of each other. Are there any other places where a line crosses over/under 2 different motorways in quick succession? I'm aware that the A601(M) used to be part of the...

Coming home from High Wycombe today (Sunday 1 September), I was pleased (for me) to see that trains to Birmingham were twice an hour today instead of the usual hourly. There’s something on the Chiltern website about minor changes to the timetable as GWR are bustituting between Oxford and...

Is the person who runs uksteam.info OK? I notice the site has not been updated since May.

Shipley-London has a Super Off Peak Return for £115.30 which has afternoon peak restrictions. But there’s an Off Peak Return Route Manchester for £115.10 where they are no afternoon peak restrictions on a Friday. So I had the former and wanted to come home from London at 4pm on a Friday, could...
