    Is trainpal wrong?

    Apologies if I'm wrong, but I put into the forum ticket section, clicking on open return leaving Sat 1st November with a 26-30 railcard and 1 change, I was offered a off peak return priced at £35.85 not via London

    Should we rename Cambridge to Cambridge Central/Cambridge East?

    This would be my preference, in the absence of an English equivalent of the German hauptbahnhof. Well that's easily solved, what a great April Fools Day thread. " Cambridge is to be renamed Cambridge General Hauptbahnhof"...........

    Why don't Other People like Trains?

    Have you seen the video, possibly on the last day of the Deltics, A chap had his head out of one the first drop windows on the off side, seemingly for the whole trip wearing a white crash helmet. There are various shots of him as the journey progresses and he's in every shot.

    Lambeth North to Vauxhall — so near, yet so far! All routes awkward; which is best?

    Walking will be the best, no chance of an unexpected delay.

    If you were to redesign Euston tube station what changes would you make

    I walk with a stick and its a long walk from the rear of a Pendolino arriving at London Euston to the Met/Circle line platforms at Euston Square. I wonder if many people walk from Warren Street Underground to access Euston Square rather than staying on to alight at Euston Underground.

    Lille-Europe Platforms

    Is platform 15 at Amsterdam the one furthest from the main frontage, where the trams arrive and depart?. I boarded a train going through to Germany as far as Osnaburg and I think that was 15. It was a long walk under the platforms into the tiniest lift up to platform level.

    What an interesting thread this is, especially all the information about Koln Hauptbahnhof and the bridge, it's always enjoyable to just stand and watch the trains at that location. It took me a while years ago to understand/realise that even though Dusseldorf is pretty much due north of Koln...
