Anyone know if this is running today as Cross Country is saying disruption yet real time trains says at platform.

The London Amsterdam arrived Brussels 60 late and the 1452 Brussels London is showing 110 late leaving Brussels.....anyone know what's going on? Rumour was that there was a cow on the line but no Eurostar staff will confirm that. 1688823306 Been told there are no free drinks or water for 110...

In Bavaria they have many ungated level crossings. In addition to the red and white XX signs I've also noticed road signs with a picture of an emu train on them, not the universal steam loco profile. Is this common elsewhere? I know there are only generally steam locos on preserved lines but the...

Anyone intending to get this for the divert/reverse via Munster and curve at Osnabruck, please be aware train is full and standing at Amsterdam. Guard is demanding (his words) those without a reservation leave the train before it can depart. I will update later. 1687936861 All stops in...

Might be useful to share intel on this especially if like me the view from the window us an essential part of the journey. EG I'm just travelling on IC 669 from Milan to La Spezia. Nice loco hauled air con open second class stock, seating in groups of four aligned with windows BUT avoid rows 5...

Notice at station says no trains only buses due to emergency engineering works between Jesenice and Ljubluana. Very sparse bus replacement timetable. BUT an unscheduled train with pax aboard just departed for Jesenice. Is there a real time type app for Slovenia? Thanks. PS station unstaffed and...

I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of any (internal or cross border) services which are advertised as a "through" train but are not, usually involving a change of train en route. Three for starters: Porto to Vigo, has been split en route recently, not at Valenca as one might think but earlier...

Just been booted out of a first class carriage on the 0744 Chambery to Lyon TER, along with several other people. Corail carriage looks like it's been newly refurbished, other stock usual faded corail second class. I thought TER is all second class! So does anyone know anything about this rule...

Be aware that the ticket gates installed at CP Portuguese stations don't read Inter-rail barcodes. More concerning is the lack of staff to let you through the gates. This now falls to "security" staff, who may be engaged elsewhere on the station. A small crowd gathered at Lisbon tonight...

I've been sent advice from CP about strikes and reduced service 1-5 April and particularly reduced services on 6 April. Does anyone know what's happening next week? Or will we simply have to await more announcements? 1680731327 Also has anyone travelled during the strike? Are seat reservations...

I'm hoping to do some SNCF loco haulage after Easter to coincide with diversions on the Rhone. I'm planning to base at Annemasse near Geneva which has a fantastic train service to Geneva and beyond into Switzerland. BUT.....do these cross border services still run when SNCF and the rest of...

I was booked on the 0917 through IC 119 to Innsbruck 1905. Good long run with changes of motive power on way. I assume due to works train unable to call at Heidelberg and train now starts Lindau 1555, so getting 0817 EC115 to Ulm, for 1319 IRE 4807 to Lindau. Anyone know if this might be diesel...

Has anyone recent experience? I want to get from Santiago to Palencia by train, but RENFE only sell tickets not simple reservations. How easy is it to rock up at a ticket office the day before and actually get a seat? It appears you have to do this in Spain so if arriving on day 1 travel in day...

I'm planning a journey from Chur to Zermatt via Disentis and Andermatt. There is only a 3 minutes connection between terminating Chur service and the onward Andermatt service. Is this sufficient for a connection, does the Andermatt wait? It looks like a pretty remote place to be stuck for an...

Just been notified this Vintage Trains tour is cancelled owing to the train (assume that means the steam loco) being out of gauge. If anyone knows what's caused this gauge issue I'd be interested to know. Other tours are booked to Blaenau Festiniog so hope it's not an infrastructure issue on the...

Over the past few days I've seen Avanti West Coast trains full and standing in standard, running sometimes nearly 2 hours late. 1st class on the other hand was largely empty. Assuming any standard ticket holder could sit in 1st class then pay the difference in fares when challenged, could both...

Just seen this near Carnforth with a 37/47 combo hauling and no steam. Did rostered loco fail this morning?

Trip to Boppard Germany Flew into Dusseldorf with Eurowings from BHX Weds 13/7/22. Clean plane, flight on time. Long wait to show passport at DUS. Airport station a short ride via the rather fun monorail. 9 euro ticket purchased, headed for Koblenz. Soon realised any hopes of picking and...

We've all seen stock sprayed with graffiti and it seems train companies don't care to remove it in a hurry. Currently on DB some companies are joining in! The train I just shoehorned myself off at Koblenz had every window at a table for four "graffitied" with adverts or WiFi signs, not the sort...

Just travelled from Dusseldorf to Koblenz and was shocked at the great lengths of metal panel walls being installed along the route. DB seems intent on blocking all views of the line from urban areas, some walls being as high as a double deck train nd creating what must be very dismal dark...
