The PIS at Leeds for the 1640 XC to Reading has underneath it "Customers for Leicester and St Pancras change at Sheffield". Is that simply because it's the only southbound XC service from Leeds that doesn't call at Chesterfield, or is there another reason?

This has happened before and I don't get it. EC trains are diverting via Lincoln and Spalding in February and March. So many trains going through Lincoln, but instead the city's two EC services are bustituted to Peterborough. Why can't they stop one up train and one down train as it passes...

On the 1825 last night from Canterbury West-St Pancras, there was a signalling problem at Ashford. We sat on the Wye side of the station for a few minutes at a signal, before reversing to the previous signal (we ended up adjacent to the depot train wash) and over a crossover, in order for us to...

If you have the return portion of a ticket from C-A and the off peak restrictions come into force before you get to B, can you buy a single from C-B, then use your return portion to get from B-A? Examples: An off peak return from Leeds to Lincoln is only valid after 9.30. The 0925 from...

(I don't know if this is just services from Bradford. I'm trying to remember if it also applies to train from Leeds). I've noticed that fairly regularly, trains to Ilkley are announced as a few minutes late at Guiseley, but aren't. An example: I was at Guiseley this morning, waiting for a...

I'm going from Shipley-Derby for the day tomorrow, travelling out first thing on 0607 and coming back around 1800. Brfares and split.traintimes.org.uk say that an off peak return (SVR) is valid as the restriction (code BT) is "valid except on trains departing before 0430."...

This is my itinerary: Day 1: Leeds-London Day 3: London-Lincoln Day 5: Lincoln-Leeds on a Super Off-peak Return from Leeds-London. Can I come back London-Retford - break journey and travel by car - Lincoln-Retford-Doncaster-Leeds? I've not doubled backed through anywhere by train.

I want to go to from London-Southend, out with Greater Anglia, and back with C2C. With my PAYG Oystercard (as I don't live in London, but will be tagging this trip on to a visit to the capital), do I travel to Stratford, touch out, go back on to the platform with my BZ3-Southend ticket, and...

I've got an VXC advance ticket from Glasgow to Guiseley, with a reservation on the Glasgow-Lancaster leg. I'd then go with Northern to Shipley and then change for Guiseley. But now I want to go to London instead. Should I: Buy an advance from Guiseley-London leaving the minimum...

RTT has a ECS EC service from Newark to Doncaster tonight. Where or what is platform T? Is it T for the Thorne line? The 1906 from Kings Cross to Lincoln was curtailed at Newark, then this train went forward (above) to Doncaster. The EC website is saying that the 2035 Kings Cross to Leeds...

After the announcement of the closure of Tube ticket offices, I contacted TFL to ask where, when the ticket office is closed (or has been closed), I could get a printed version of my unregistered Oyster history. They replied: "Current Oyster card print outs available at Ticket Offices are...

On 27 December, Peterborough station is closed and there are no trains on the ECML between Grantham and Huntingdon. RTT says there are no HT trains that day: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/HUL/2013/12/27/0200-0159?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt&toc=HT But NRES says HT are...

Sitting in Ljubljana station yesterday morning, I watched a freight train loaded with wagons of cars head west. Was this a freight movement or a motorail service? And have there ever been cars moved by freight in the United Kingdom?

On 28 July, there's engineering work "between Finsbury Park and New Barnet and between Stevenage and Peterborough". The 0846 HT Hull-London is passing through Howden non-stop, which is unusual. There's a 0840 Northern service from Hull-Sheffield and a 0854 Northern service from Hull-York...

Travelling from Leeds to Manchester Victoria one day this week. Doing the via Dewsbury route I almost always get a Pacer. What are the chances of getting a Class 158 on the Leeds-MCV route. Is it more likely on the fast(er) limited calls service than on the all stations via Halifax service...

I saw a notice about this at Ilkley station on Friday, and it's now on the Dalesbus website.

Huddersfield-Manchester via Hebden Bridge isn't a mapped route in the Routeing Guide. However, Northern have Route Hebden Bridge tickets priced cheaper than the Any Permitted. Does that final sentence mean that by virtue of there being a cheaper Route Hebden Bridge ticket, the Any...
