    Got to be one of best tips ever given on here, I've walked from Bakerloo southbound to Victoria Line northbound and I felt like giving up. Well done, thank you

    I’m going to be the youngest person to visit all railway stations in Great Britain

    I've just remembered there is a thread running on here, where a member is attempting to 'arrive and depart from every platform in the country', not quite your challenge but with your summer holidays coming up, its a great read.

    I’m going to be the youngest person to visit all railway stations in Great Britain

    Don't forget to keep us all updated, many of us will have a genuine interest in how its going. So if you've done Merseyrail, that's what, 65ish stations? so that's a good start.

    GA trains running much later than usual on the GEML towards Liverpool St today?

    Ah yes, Take That was the one, there was lots of info on the local radio etc with the GA trains mentioned. I Just couldn't remember, I knew you would know. An extra on top of an extra!! That doesn't happen very often.

    GA trains running much later than usual on the GEML towards Liverpool St today?

    I happily live a semi rural village in GA land and they are very good at providing extras where needed, I'm racking my brains(dk1 will know). and I can't remember why, but maybe a couple of years ago there were some later than normal extras out of Norwich on the branch lines to Lowestoft, Great...

    Rail reorganisation in Anglia

    In the coming weeks I'm going to be using the 20:00 ex Liverpool Street upuo Stowmarket on a Saturday which I believe is a scheduled rostered, triple 755 sometimes totalling 11 coaches. I think this is better than a 720, only down side there is no first class on the 755 combo.

    Reserved seat on National Express

    Hi, For the first time, I've reserved a seat on a NX Service from Victoria Coach station, Is there a different boarding procedure for passengers with a reserved seat? What happens if someone else is sat in the reserved seat? Is it the poor old driver to resolve?

    May 2026 timetable

    The extra GA service from Ipswich @ 07:17 (2W50) to Cambridge from the May timetable will be very welcome, at the moment there is a gap on this semi rural line departing Ipswich from 06:56 until 08:19(ex Harwich International) towards Cambridge, the 06:56 is a very busy service with Thurston...

    London Robotaxis

    I'm wondering what will happen at somewhere like the zebra crossing outside the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand heading towards the City, (and other locations around the country), at times it can be a fairly steady stream of pedestrians/lawyers returning to and from chambers crossing the...
