Does a ticket that states ‘via City Thameslink’ mean you can’t change at East Croydon for a faster Southern train down to Brighton? I only ask as the wording is NOT ‘ Thameslink Only’...

Anyone else having problems with payments being rejected, with the message 'you cannot pay from a country from which your card is not registered' ????? To clarify, I am presently in the UK ! The exact message is Your transaction has failed. Please re-plan your journey, making sure that your...

I often get a very cheap Advance ticket, from as little as £5.00, for a regular Tuesday journey I make, from Victoria to Brighton. Obviously, one has to book well ahead to get the best price, and I successfully booked a £5 ticket for Tues 15th May, for the 20:20 Southern train. I've just...

Can anyone enlighten me as to why there are unused masts in and around New Barnet station on the ECML ? The one on the left of this photo, for example...

Just wondering if this Railcard (sorry, Annual Season) will still be the shortest route to Goldcard after the fares increase, or will there be an alternate route in 2018, provided perhaps by a different TOC ?

Does anyone know which (if any) central London termini have a facility for left luggage? Some friends are travelling from Brighton to Cambridge tomorrow, but have tickets for the tennis at the O2, and are worried because large bags are not permitted in the venue. I said I believe there is a...

I have a friend who is wishing to travel with her daughter for a University Open Day in Edinburgh. They plan to travel on Friday 6th October, staying in the city on Friday and Saturday night, and travel back on Sunday 8th October. I just looked on Virgin Trains East Coast and the cheapest...

Can anyone shed any light on what train this is, scheduled to arrive at Platform 8, Kings Cross, tomorrow morning ? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U53192/2017/09/21/advanced

I saw a Southern-liveried Class 313 being hauled through Wembley Central tonight, around 9pm. I believe it may have been this http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O09759/2017/07/06/advanced Any idea why this unit is going to Wolverton, anyone ?

Am I correct in thinking that the only station within the area bounded by Gatwick Airport, Brighton and Eastbourne that now has left-luggage facilities is Gatwick Airport itself ? Years ago, I'm sure the other two had this useful option, it I assume this has now given way to retail space...

Could a knowledgable person on here solve a mystery for me? I was on the 2134 Kings Cross to Royston service tonight, and just before Finsbury Park we passed a plain-coloured Hitachi (I think) train going south. It's front end was similar to those that are operating on South Eastern's High Speed...

Hoping an Oyster expert can answer... Yesterday, I travelled to Harringay station on the Great Northern and made a short walk to Harringay Green Lanes station, to photograph the progress of electrification works on the Gospel Oak to Barking line. Is this a so-called OSI (out-of-station...

Can somebody please advise if an 'Any Permitted' Off Peak Return is valid to travel Welwyn North - Kings Cross - walk - St Pancras - Ashford (via HS1) - Marshlink Line - Hastings - Eastbourne ? Thanks in advance

Is the Hatton (HPW) to Lapworth (LPW) annual season ticket, priced at £160, still the cheapest way to get a Gold Card after the 2 Jan 2017 fare increase? The closest one in terms of price that I could see was Pevensy Bay to Pevensey & Westham, at £164

While looking to see if any trains ran to/from London Victoria on the Southern side of the station today (during the strike), I found this oddity http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O55802/2016/12/14/advanced Why run a train empty, from Platform 12 at Victoria, to Streatham Hill, only to...

Looks like another sad day on the railway. Trains into Kings Cross are severely disrupted. I'm guessing the incident was at Potters Bar, as local trains are not calling there, and through up trains are running on the up slow through Welwyn Garden City. My sincere condolences to the family of...

We all know certain TOCs are regularly in the habit of omitting station calls on late-running services, to make up some time, but I wanted to do some research on this. Am I right in thinking that this train omitted calls at Knebworth, Welwyn North, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and Potters Bar ...

I was on the 10:02 Brighton to London Bridge this morning, after the 09:58 and 10:18 services to London Victoria were cancelled. I heard mention of a 'failed train' somewhere up the line. To my surprise, my train crossed to the down line just before Haywards Heath, and the pulled in to the...

As a Gold Card holder, I understand that I can purchase a Network Railcard for a friend for the price of £10, instead of the usual £30. Is this correct? If so, does the person I'm buying it for have to be present when the completed form is handed-in, for the railcard to be issued? (It is...

Are there trains running between West Croydon and East Croydon today ??
