As usual, I see the government has gone with populist measures on transport and infrastructure in the budget. Fuel duty still frozen and "£27bn on over 4,000 miles of roads", "the biggest ever investment in strategic roads and motorways" Climate crisis anyone?

*This is NOT a thread to repeat the arguments about Sunday working. I just want some general advice form anyone 'in the know' on whether Sunday service running is likely to improve this summer.* Obviously no one has a crystal ball, but I'm planning a trip to Edinburgh this summer, and I'm...

I'm travelling from Cardiff to Chelmsford this weekend (via the many diversions and replacement buses that are running :( ) Can someone tell me if the ticket barriers on the Underground and at Chelmsford have barcode scanners, if I buy my ticket on the GWR app? If the Underground doesn't have...

Can someone tell me when the new ticket prices for January will go live on National Rail Enquiries and other ticket selling outlets? Thanks

I'm thinking of taking the Settle & Carlisle line in the summer, can someone tell me what type of DMU Northern usually put on this service? RTT shows it as 150/153/155/156, is it usually at least a 2 car Sprinter? If it's a line where Pacers can appear I won't bother - I'm not doing 3 hours...

Nothing to do with yours (and successive) governments choosing to reduce taxpayer support for the railway and push costs increasingly on to passengers, Mr. Grayling? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46731749

So, as the title asks, are the Cardiff local & South Wales Valley line routes EVER going to get BRAND NEW trains? As someone who has to commute regularly between Cardiff and Barry on the train, I was cautiously optimistic last year when the electrification plans for South Wales were...
