As it is looking more and more likely that TFL will end up eventually controlling rail in the Greater London 'metro' area how are seasons sold? If you for example have a monthly Orpington- Vic will you be forced to buy a more expensive TFL Z1-6 which you don't need? How has it worked on the GA...

Hi is this day return journey one where an advance ticket off Loco or Renfe is going to be cheaper than bothering with FIP? Also is this similar to the Malaga AVE line where the regional Avant services are much cheaper than the AVE proper? Thanks

Finally got round to watching the 1st episode of this outstanding 2 part BBC4 series on British jet aircraft. In the first episode there are occasional very high quality colour 35mm 'stock shots' of the City in what is supposed to be the early 50's - I guess some artistic licence has been...

Hi does anyone know if my daughter can use the photocard she had for her 16-25 railcard with the newly arrived Priv & TOC card? The photo card is less than a year old.

Hi have non protected priv and Goahead TOC card. I normally buy Clapham Jct to Guildford off peak rtn however NR journey planner gives an option of East Croydon -Redhill-Guildford. Would the 'any permitted route' of the CJ-Guildford ticket cover the FGW-Redhill bit (I doubt it but wanted to check)

A well know financial/political commentator is having a right go on Twitter over a cancelled HS1 Gravesend-St Panc service causing her to miss a E*. The advice is normally to always buy your ticket to London Intl CIV so you can travel on next available E* service. Now if (as I suspect) she...

Having seen the enourmous Glasgow built Garret at the Industrial museum at Coatbridge had me wondering how did North British, Vulcan etc test run their locomotives that were destined for overseas markets? In many cases they would be for a different gauge or be far too big for the UK loading...

The Greater London Authority tweeted earlier that their entire transport committee will be travelling down to Sevenoaks by train tmmr. Any idea why and which service?

Got a ticket bought from a machine going from Saverne-Mulhouse via Strasbourg. Can I use one of the TGV's to Colmar from Strasbourg and break the journey there? I am pretty certain this route is not a LGV? Thx

Was watching a recording of 'The nations railway' and at about 20 mins in there is a clip from the classic transport film 'Terminus'. There is a very short shot of a 4Sub? at the buffers at Waterloo and it shows a driver opening the secondmans windscreen, leaning out at doing something with...

I will be in Milan from 24/4-28/4 & am on a railtour on the Sat. On Sun/Mon I was planning on getting a train to either Pavia or Como depending on the weather and was wondering if there was a regional ticket rather that was better value. I will have Milan 'travel cards' for all the days as the...
