As we've seen in Spain and the UK recently, storms and torrential rain have been a significant hindrance to the operating of a railway. It seems the kind of weather climate change scientists have been warning us about is here and not going anywhere except getting more extreme. Is the railway...

Just a quick one: is the door to the waiting room on platform automatic? I can't recall!

The TV news is reporting 5 dead, and people trapped...

I can't recall an LNER service recently to/from London I've taken that's been on time notably on the Leeds branch. Looking at OnTimeTrains it's not just me having bad luck. Should the timetables be padded like airlines do, to give people more realistic journey times? If people believe this...

Hey, I've searched and searched but I can't find previous threads on this topic but I'm sure I've seen some. Anyone have a better memory than myself? If I imagined them, then I'm curious about any past cases, or people's opinion on the law, regarding people who legitimately complete a journey...

Hey, Tomorrow Manchester to Euston Avanti is only selling non-advance singles in standard class and I was wondering if there was anything to be inferred from that eg extremely busy services? Thanks

Hi, Those new style large printed tickets with UTNs that a guard prints off. Is it valid to take a photo and just present/scan the photo of the barcode? Thanks!
