    NRE Engineering Work Message 17th to 23rd Jan 2015

    I want to book a ticket for the 17th or 18th of January 2015, but National Rail Enquiries shows a yellow triangle with the text: where X is the operator. As far as I can tell this applies to any operator in any part of Britain. For example, Cardiff to Bangor and Kyle of Lochalsh to Garve both...

    Highland Chieftain Fri 06/12

    There's no mention on the East Coast or JourneyCheck sites of whether the 07:55 Inverness to Kings Cross train will run tomorrow morning (as far as I can see). Does anyone have any idea whether this will run, or when they will start putting out information for tomorrow (Friday the 6th)? Thanks

    Barrhill station: risk of prosecution?

    Someone I know recently needed to catch a Northbound train from platform 1 of Barrhill station. The only way to that side is via crossings signposted with two signs: "stop look and listen (etc)" and "passengers must not cross the line (etc)". After puzzling for a few minutes about whether they...

    Edinburgh to Belfast with bicycle

    I was looking to go from Edinburgh to Belfast with a bicycle, going out and returning on weekdays in May. You can't take bikes on the Ayr to Cairnryan coach that connects with the ferry. The plan was: leaving Edinburgh at 07:57, and changing at Glasgow Central for the 09:38 train to...

    Reading to Thurso, with overnight break of journey

    Reading to Paddington: evening peak and journey planner

    I know the evening peak restrictions for journeys from Paddington to Reading have been discussed on here before. But I couldn't find anything about the other direction: going to London in the evening. I planned a journey RDG-PAD leaving 1730 today and returning 1200 tomorrow, on National Rail...

    Inverness-Edinburgh train: where would it have gone next?

    Hi Apologies if this is the wrong section of the forum for this question. I travelled from Inverness to Edinburgh on Monday, leaving at 1045, and I think I left my jacket on the overhead rack. I phoned Waverley lost property, who took my details. But I was just wondering if anyone knows...

    Advance tickets: using other operators when delayed

    In a past thread, someone had an East Coast & connections advance ticket for a train to Glasgow that was cancelled. They weren't allowed to travel with Virgin or (initially) Scotrail. They eventually got there, just later than they could have with the other operators. Consider a hypothetical...

    Reading to Inverness

    Hi This question isn't limited to one particular date as I do this journey from time to time, but say for example that I wanted a single ticket from Reading to Inverness on 8th February, leaving after 1900. I don't have a railcard. I could make two separate bookings: 1. 19:45 Reading to...
