We're looking for a service between two stations in a county*, that must exit the county and then rejoin it. It must be a direct service. Probably impossible, but here we go... EDIT: Got one already. If you wanted a direct train between Peterborough and Grantham, it would leave...

1) Which stations in the UK were open for the shortest time before being closed? 2)And, which stations were closed, before being reopened, for the shortest time? Station refurbishments and engineering works do count, as long as the station was completely closed for any amount of time...

Here on the RailUK Forums, everyone knows about the rolling stock and trains at least in their area, maybe more. But, whereas some know a lot about all of the network, others only keep an eye on their neck of the woods - or further afield - but not the whole system. So is there any area that...

In the latest East Coast timetable (18 May-13 December) I noticed the following services: Services from Doncaster to Edinburgh departing at: Mon-Fri: 0615 Sat: 0610 Sun: 0937 These call at: Mon-Fri: All EC stops except Northallerton and Morpeth Sat: All EC stops except Morpeth Sun...

Would a new Edinburgh-Carstairs-Carlisle service run by Scotrail, with more stops, be feasible? It could reopen Beattock as 'Moffat Parkway', Symington (to serve Biggar) and Abington, (possibly Ecclefechan too) as well as giving more services to Lockerbie. If just Beattock was to reopen then...

I was wondering if anyone had any maps or timetables from the time when Virgin Crosscountry launched Operation Princess? I'd be very thankful if anyone could post them here. Obviously, what they needed were longer trains.

...what would happen to the Lairg loop? The way I see it, Dornoch would be served by the through-running trains, whereas the Invernet services would terminate at Lairg. FOFNL have been lobbying for an hourly service to Tain (which would need more passing loops). If this went ahead and more...

Does anyone here have any favourite TOC liveries? One of my faves is Scotrail's 'saltire' livery. Hull Trains have a great livery - their old one was good too. Grand Central's 180s, with their orange strips running down the train, look very sharp. Perhaps surprisingly, I quite liked First...

I was just wondering if anyone on the boards has any pictures of Class 175s in operation for Wales & Borders, who some of the units before ATW, or for First TransPennine Express, who had some units sub-leased for work on their north-west route until December 2006. On the internet I can only...

I think most TOCs probably have a main rolling stock to their name, such as TOCs that are the sole operators of that stock and operate it regularly across their network. So Parry People Movers wouldn't count. With Southern and Heathrow Express this is obvious, but with Northern and Greater...

You learn something every day, they say... ...I only just learned that they opened Energlyn in December. Any others?

Earlier this year I was travelling on a morning 156 (ex-Arriva Trains Northern) from Carlisle to Newcastle (the train terminated at Sunderland). Newcastle were playing at home that day and thus the train was absolutely packed with football fans. Yet the train was only two carriages long and...
