    Services where 1st Class should be there but isn't.

    Mileage Competition 2016

    Just added 2372 miles from my 7 day Interrail trip but still need to find mileage for some of the trip. Please any help with these. Anyone know the distance on RER line D from Gare Nord to Gare du Lyon? Anyone know where to find distances for Trams in Geneva, Basel, Salzburg and Munich? Thanks

    Isn't it time the way ticket barriers reject tickets was rethought?

    I went to buy a travelcard yesterday from a ticket office for use next Thursday but was informed by the ticket office person that he could sell it to me but it would probably not operate the gatelines as the magnetic strip only works for 6 days. Is this correct and is it why my All line rovers...

    Thanks for the info on Edinburgh and yes off to Oxford in December. The ALR was surprising in that the trains were very full and none were late enough for a delay repay. This has not happened to me before on an ALR and I have done one each year since 2010.

    Route Coverage

    Think I have everything available on the map bar Oxford Parkway to Oxford and the loop south of Edinburgh which I do not think has a passenger service. On this year's ALR I got Tweedbank, Wolverhampton to Walsall, Stockport to Stalybridge, Yeovil Pen Mill to Yeovil Junction, Ebbw Vale Parkway...

    There were actually 3 staff who helped out. A dispatcher put me on to someone in customer services who said he would have to wait for someone to come on duty. The person who came on duty sorted it for me.
