All the ones nearest to the station are already listed, Nathan. http://station-stays.co.uk --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Barry Doe has just told me he's written a review of our directory (http://station-stays.co.uk) in his Fare Dealer spot in the next edition of Rail magazine.:)...

About one and a half miles from the station. The building is like an Eastern European block of flats, but has been refurbished and has received good reviews. http://station-stays.co.uk

The Directory doesn't show the Hilton near to Cardiff Central. It shows it near Queen Street and over 15 mins walk from Central Station.

Our directory has now reached over 500 places to stay. Many thanks to all the members of this Forum who have contributed.:D http://station-stays.co.uk

The following accommodation directory is now live: http://www.station-stays.co.uk Suggestions/amendments welcome but bear in mind that quality is more important than price. The directory is for business and leisure travellers as well as railway enthusiasts. Use the Contact Form on the...

Maybe because it's so new nobody has suggested it. Thanks, will add it today. Generally Premier Inns are extremely well-managed as opposed to Travelodge which are hit and miss!

The web directory is now live: http://station-stays.co.uk Comments welcomed and suggestions for additions. Bear in mind the criteria for establishments to be included are: 1. Must have en-suite rooms 2. Must have more above-average comments on Trip Advisor than below-average. 3. Must be...

Unbelievably the trolleybus turntable is still in situ, even though the last trolleybus used it in the late sixties!

Thanks for all the suggested entries. I hope to have the website up and running by the Autumn. The accommodation will be shown in distance from the station, rather than gradings, stars or reviews. Users can check out reviews themselves, but accommodation won't be included that attracts...

Thanks for the suggested hotels. Point taken about Reviews, but if you read enough of them you get a pretty good idea of the standard.

I'm setting up a website of decent hotels/b&bs within 15 mins walk of UK rail stations. Suggestions welcome, but they must be well-rated on Trip Advisor.

Ring Buckingham Palace :lol:

It's all a smoke-screen anyway. The Government could save millions from the Foreign Aid budget, much of it used to prop up undesirable regimes. Instead they choose to clobber pensioners and anyone else in the UK that they feel they can squeeze in the name of "the difficult financial state we're...

The Arco 283, which is the only through train across Northern Spain, from the French border to Santiago de Compostela, is not shown on the timetable after the beginning of February. :( Does anyone know why. From mid-February there is no efficient way of travelling from France to North-West...

The update on progress towards a daily service from Wareham to Swanage is here: http://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/dailysvce.htm

It is virtually impossible to find e-cards of railway interest on the internet, but the Dorset Transport site not only has ordinary railway e-cards, but also some Christmas cards. All the e-cards are free to send and easy to access. http://www.dorset-transport.info/free-e-cards.html

The South-West Trains class 158 ran from Salisbury Depot to Swanage and back. It also did a return run from Swanage to Norden. It checked platform clearances on all platforms at Swanage, Harmans Cross, Corfe Castle and Norden. Unfortunately its arrival on the line was delayed by problems at the...

It happened today because a unit broke down at Pinhoe and trains have been unable to run between Honiton & Exeter most of the day, and units were in the wrong places

Best for whom? The toc, the engineers or the punters?

That's hardly a long run compared with Brighton/Weymouth to Great Malvern on 150/1s!!
