Tried looking for information online on what constitutes a permitted route; is there a resource for this? I'm interested in going via Gloucester this weekend (Saturday) as there is a XC service that runs from Bristol to Gloucester (Platform 4) and then continues on with a different headcode to...

OK, so I went to Exeter and purchased a Exeter St. Davids to Exeter Central Annual Season ticket which came to 144.00 (3 day + SAT and SUN). I specifically asked for a Gold Card. I was issued the season ticket on a Devon & Cornwall Gold Card. I clearly wasn't thinking straight, and looking...

Today, I finally experienced the delights of Bushey Platform 3 (not usually available in daylight hours). For those that don't know, it barely fits a 4 car 350 on the usable part of the platform, which surprising is well kept and looks like it's been worked on recently(?). The rest of the...

For those that do track to Quail level, the new timetable brings new opportunities as well as taking some away. Below is a list compiled by those kind enough to post information in this thread. Lost (May 2019) 1) Angel Road (Station) (Replaced with Meridian Water on site just South) 2)...

Engineering tomorrow has VTEC trains calling at Stevenage (not denoted as set down/pick up only). If i have a boundary zone 6 - huntingdon (annual gold card), can i use vtec to stevenage to change for the stevenage-peterborough shuttle service?

As per title. Non sure what's been done in the past, but I imagine at least some kind of strengthening from the usual 2-car shuttle? Just wondering as I've never had the connection!

Thinking of getting a 3 day thames rover starting 12/24... what would be the end date on the ticket giving that no trains on gwr 12/25 and 12/26? Sorry if this is a stupid question!

Seems to the latest craze to have a Platform 0, and Guildford could join the club. Info gained from this story: http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/guildford-railway-station-studies-could-13970262

I'm looking to go bashing in Birmingham area, but am confused with the Daytripper ticket. I understand I can get a Peak ticket for around £9. Now, there is also a Plus option, which I need to get down to Leamington Spa. My question is, does the plus cover Peak services as well, as I'm...

Until recently, P3 saw little use and P7 saw one train to/from Stratford a week. Looking on OTT, P3 is now in daily regular use, and P7 is pretty much OOU (for both LU and NLL). Is this the case? Also of note: there are now 2 booked NLL trains in P6 (both late night), whereas before it was...

It appears the clowns at NR have not gauged the route for loaded 442s with diesel haulage, and thus tour has been cancelled as there is now not enough time to sort it out. Really sorry for everyone that gave their time to this project and the Mid Norfolk Railway who are going to miss out on a...

Apparently, a freight train working from the Dover site caused a track circuit failure @ Folkstone. Seeing as it's a bottleneck, everything went tits-up very quickly. Lucky me was at Folkstone West. I say lucky, as they commissioned a bus that was running the Dover Shuttles to run into...

I have been playing about with OTT seeing if there was by off-chance any trains departing platform 5 to the East Midlands side as Quail makes it look like trains can be border either side?. Anyhow... From my limited knowledge of OTT at present, it looks to me that this platform is OOU from...

First of all, I'm not sure if anyone will be interested in my ramblings, so I'll keep them to a minimum :) Secondly, seeing as I covered most of the passenger UK at the Baker level, I've decided to work on the Quail level. On that note, I wish I had kept better records beforehand! I should...
