I had a fail to call on my first ever railtour. Forgot about that one, it was the evening leg of a Pathfinder tour from Crewe to Rose Hill Marple. We were, after a late change to the schedule, booked to call at Warrington Bank Quay (much to my annoyance!) However we roared straight through!

Obviously on a different note, but I ended up sharing a carriage on the way back from Fishguard with 30 or so Californians. (I'm sure the conductor was most disappointed when they all had tickets, to London!) I can only assume that they'd travelled West on the same diagram, the one that takes...

I think pretty much every time I've been on a planned diversion on CrossCountry, it has been mentioned. Did Manchester-Stafford and back via Crewe a few years ago and we were told what was going on (and on the way back in great detail, including our approximate speed on the Styal line!) And...

I was on a GWR that was wrong routed at Westbury recently. Another train had been cancelled so we got stop orders for Castle Cary and Westbury. Yet we were routed via the normal booked route. Cue a stop and call to the box for the route to get changed, the TM explaining the delay as "waiting for...

I can confirm the 13:04 was a Pullman train, but with the steak-less menu.

Any ideas if 802008 is out today please?

I managed to force a change at Ebbsfleet International on an advance once. I only did it to "tick" the station and I had to go through the gateline. Something which took a bit of an explanation! Once they'd clearly seen I was reserved on two separate trains they were obviously fine with it, but...

I was in East London earlier and the rain in the Loughton area in particular was just something else. Went through a huge storm on the way up the Central line and Epping was bone dry. Loughton was a very different story and needless to say I took advantage of the bus validity of a travelcard to...

Interestingly, I've used a Z1-9 travelcard today which I bought from a TfL Rail ticket machine last night. It was simply on the screen as Z1-9 travelcard but what printed was indeed an Amersham-Zones 1-6 AAA Z7-9. And it didn't work on the barriers anywhere, even in zones 1-6 which got very...

Yes, that's the ticket I wanted. And exactly what happened! Presumably the complaint needs to go to Southern? London Bridge tried to excess it as I mentioned, but the computer wouldn't let him. Although presumably the origin was put in as London Bridge rather than somewhere in zone 9? As an...

This is it.

Had an issue this morning which I'm not sure how is best to deal with. We went to a Southern ticket office and asked for a Zones 1-9 travelcard. I've had one before, which I'm pretty certain was from the same ticket office and it was issued as an inboundary travelcard, I think from Chesham or...

Any idea where it went after terminating at Westbury on the 14:55 WEY-BRI at all? I've just sacrificed a required 'Spoons at Bridgwater to get it and seen it's caped... 1626892335 Scrap that I've found it. Thanks for your help @LA50041

Should be able to get that, thanks a lot!

Another request for 166203 please?

I was on SWR 158888 earlier and it was cold inside. Not just cool, actually cold. Then again I'd just got off a GWR 166 which was that hot onboard it actually felt pleasant to alight into the 30° heat!

Thanks anyway.

Is 166203 out today please? It's my last 166.

I was on a train yesterday which was involved in a near miss just outside a station. There was only me and my friend onboard and the conductor came and spoke to us, after he'd seen to the driver. He told us what had happened and we'd obviously be delayed waiting for the police. We both made it...
