    Stations that trains pass through

    That's going to be quite a list, Alex! 99% of the answer can be obtained off the maps attached to the National Rail Timetable online version... if you clarify what the info is needed for, perhaps there's an easier way of answering the question without a list of literally hundreds of stations...

    Weymouth Quays

    Is it still fully connected? To be honest, much as I'm against any rail closure, and seeing "proper" trains running along a road, it always was a bit of a red herring - proceeding round the back and along the quay at walking pace adding 20-30 minutes to the journey when the quay was walkable...

    Voluntary managed terminus building

    I have nothing useful to contribute in respect of your question, but I do wish you the very best of luck. Having lived that way a few years back and regularly waiting around at Lowestoft station, it would certainly benefit from being less bleak! A decent coffee shop would attract people off...

    Rugeley Trent Valley station - it should be staffed!

    The OP's issues seem to relate to the member of staff being there to provide information, which per anecdotes above seems to be a problem with cancelled trains. Surely the solution here is for the information screens to be improved rather than employing someone? In five years time, a much...

    Scotland - N Ireland bridge or tunnel

    I know the suggestions are mostly a "fantasy" tunnel, but the IoM will never justify a rail tunnel - the population is only about 80,000. As a resident, it's a pity - the ferry prices are extortionate! From a practical point of view, the closest point on the UK rail network would be...

    FGW HST Diversions Feb-Mar 2011

    The Sunday times are in the NRT - see the dated tables 123 and 160. Interestingly, they're booked to stop at Yeovil Pen Mill and Yeovil Junction (as well as intermediate stops on the Honiton route) I might be wrong, but I'm not sure the Pen Mill stop has been publicised before. Is it even...

    Train Etiquette

    People who insist on getting on the train at intermediate stations to see someone off and then have to push past all the passengers boarding behind them in order to get off the train before it leaves. Obviously, this can be excused where they're helping disabled or elderly people but that...

    Delayed 12:12 Leeds - Plymouth

    Thanks for the complimentary comments, folks. tbtc - The overcrowding on the PNZ-WAT service yesterday seemed to be (at least as far as Exeter) as a result of the preceding 0940 Arriva XC service not running yesterday. Additionally, with the reduced service FGW were running as a result of the...

    Delayed 12:12 Leeds - Plymouth

    Finally decided to register having been "lurking" on the forum for a while! There's a difficult balance the rail industry hasn't found between being the always-available "public service" and providing value for money. Rather than having two classes on each train, why not bring back the...
