    Postbuses

    Haven't heard much about these recently. Rural areas seem to be being served by demand-response telephone services. Are there any areas where there is still a good postbus network?

    What happens if UK connection to Eurostar is late?

    I'm travelling from Doncaster to Gent in Belgium on Friday, catching the 1616 from Doncaster, then the 1904 from St Pancras to Brussels, the last train. What would happen if there was a delay on the ECML and I missed the 1904. I booked all tickets with Eurostar. Would I get offered a seat on...

    Eurostar Tickets

    Does anybody else on this forum find it incredibly difficult to buy Eurostar tickets on their website? Over the past four days on two different computers I've made six attempts, all of which have failed (two got as far as the 'confirm payment' stage). My mate had trouble at weekend; and this...

    High Peak Bus Company / Trentbarton Split [Merged Thread]

    Please could somebody explain what this is? I know it's been mentioned before in this section, but I couldn't find it using the search. (Please don't let the next post be, 'well I used the search and found it in ten seconds'). It just seems that all the services run by Trent Barton's Dove...

    Doncaster to Aberdeen

    The two British cities I've never visited are Dundee and Aberdeen. I was thinking of leaving Doncaster early on Tue 14th, going to Aberdeen and staying the night. Then I would leave Aberdeen next day at a reasonable hour, stop off at Dundee, and arrive back at Doncaster late. Using...

    Walking across the track

    In which countries is it considered usual or acceptable to walk across the rail track(s) after looking both ways after you alight from the train. I'm obviously not talking about major terminals, but just ordinary stations. I would observe: UK - No Belgium - No Lithuania - Yes Spain -...

    European Railway apps

    I've just got an i-phone and wonder if there are any apps available for European railways like there are in Britain for timetables, live departures etc. In particular I wonder if there's one for Belgium as I go there a lot: the NMBS website is not helpful.

    Doncaster to Leeds/York

    A few friends and I are going to visit Leeds today (Sat) afternoon from Doncaster and will probably buy a day return. But if we don't like Leeds and want to go on to York and buy a Leeds-York day return, I expect we will not be able to take a direct train back to Donny using both return...

    Lithuanian Railways

    I hope you don't mind my asking, but I'm off to Lithuania for a short break in December, based in Vilnius. Their railway's website is fine for working out times, but I just have one or two questions for anyone who has visited before: 1) I gather a small proportion of the network is...
