I am struggling to find which aircraft operated 3 flights I was on and if anyone can help I would appreciate it. What I am after is a BA 744 that did Heathrow to Hong Kong on the evening of 11/08/2011. The LAN A343 that did Auckland to Santiago on 24/12/2011. The BA 777 that did Buenos Aires to...

Just put a complaint in to Northern about 2 journies on 142 036 3 hours apart on the same day. They are actually quite comical but I thought the feedback should be given. What I sent them is in quotes below. "I caught the 10:36 from West Allerton to South Parkway this morning. I was caught...

Hi folks, wasn't sure where to put this. It is my dads 70th on the 16th January. Me and my siblings have decided for his birthday we are going to take him on a steam railtour. This doesn't of course have to be on 16th January, in fact I couldn't afford it, ha ha, but if anyone can advise on...

Apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum but this is the second month on the bounce I have not been able to buy a Monthly C1 Trio at either South Parkway or West Allerton and have had to buy an alternative ticket. What recourse do I have and what is going on with the Trios. How can a...

In relation to a recent thread about Anomalous Place Names for stations I was wondering if I could broaden this out to places without stations. In Liverpool we have Belle Vale which certainly isn't a Belle Vale (No insult intended to anyone from there).

I agree with the need for ticket barriers but they really have to sort this out at Lime Street. The wide exit barrier for people with tickets that won't go through the ticket barriers often has no one manning it. I'm frequently left stood there like a wet lemon waiving my Trio hoping someone...

Had an interesting experience with the new barriers at Lime Street tonight. I arrived on the 17:04 Parkway to Preston. Got to the wide exit barrier because I have a Trio which won't go through the machine. Two RPI's were there and the one who wasn't gripping someone couldn't let me through for...

Am off to Warsaw at the end of November with a few mates and we travel together on a regular basis. Apart from myself and one other lad the group isn't on the whole that interested in railways but on our longish weekends away we tend to have a side trip on the train (Or other transport) to...

Hey folks, just after a bit of advice if anyone can help. I've been to Budapest before but for the life of me I cannot remember how long journies took. How long to get the blue line from Deak Ferenc Ter to Kobanya-Kispest and then the bus to the Airport? Just a rough figure would be appreciated.

Alright folks. I am planning to fly Liverpool to Bucharest and get the train from there to Brasov in August. Does anyone have any advice on trains, buying tickets etc. Any phrases in the language would be useful, tips on best trains for loco haulage etc.

My sister is off to London to train to be cabin crew on Easyjet tomorrow. She has an open return with Virgin from Lime Street to Euston on the 16:18 tomorrow. How does she go about getting weekend first and how does she pay? I'm going to give her the money, also after the Grand National meet...

Last Wednesday, 02/03, I was on the last train out of Lime Street to Oxford Road. At West Allerton the doors did not release and I was carried on to South Parkway and given the time there was no other public transport available to take me home resulting in a mile and a half walk home since I had...

Alright folks. Only a short hop but will be doing this journey either on the 8/11 or 9/11. Any advice for most likely loco hauled services, how much it will cost and it we get a basic return can we break the journey in Sopot? Wasn't sure what thread to put this in by the way so went with wanting...

Saw 37611 recently hauling 2 container flats one of which had a Stobart Rail shipping container on the back. There were cables trailing out of the rear cab window of 37611 to the container flats. A few other friends have seen it to. Anyone know what it is doing? Apologies if this has been...

Well I had an epic adventure this evening. I caught the 20:34 from Lime Street wanting to get off at South Parkway. I fell fast asleep and was woken by the conductor just before Stafford. She was amazing and printed me off a very none standard ticket for the 22:10 Stafford to Parkway and...

Just a query. If Network Rail are doing standard track repairs overnight do they need to give notice to people living backing on to the railway or nearby. This isn't me having a moan by the way, I live backing on to the Liverpool to London line in south Liverpool and love it, the house isn't...

My dad was telling me there was a chap on a local radio phone in today saying that Lime Street is getting a major refurb getting rid of a lot of the large structures around platforms 1-6. Apparently a lot of signalling work is to be done as well and it will cause major disruption. All services...

Hey folks sorry about the short notice but I need to get from Liverpool to Gobowen arriving around 14:00 on Saturday and head back on Sunday afternoon. I've seen some, what I consider, pretty expensive fares. Any advice very much appreciated.

The guy is a wind up merchant. As a scouser is anyone from Liverpool actually annoyed by anything he has said recently? He is from Doncaster, the only good things about the place are its excellent rail connections to leave quickly.

Can anyone recommend a decent and more importantly really cheap small rucksack that complies with Ryanairs hand luggage policy? Doesn't have to be top quality, I have decent outdoors equipment already. I saw a 20 litre one for a fiver on the Millets website but it doesn't give dimensions...
