This fare £26 has restriction not before 1100 and 1500-2000 Mon/Fri, not valid at weekends. So it can’t ever be used to complete Fort William to Glasgow and return in valid times. Can it be purchased? Online it doesn’t ever seem to be offered. If specifying a single, you are offered an...

Has anyone driven this road? I have driven the roads at both ends but chickened out going down it. At the ends it is gravel/stone rather than tarmac. At the A838 end it goes up a mountainside and looks at bit forbidding, at Allnabad looks fine, just very remote.

Mod Note: Post #1 originally in this thread. Just seen a tweet @railpromag saying FirstGroup has confirmed an order for five new Hitachi AT300s, so looks like this service will happen...

Just heard a report from someone in the office who was on this 12 car service last night. Came to a halt in tunnel just north of Watford. Driver and guard eventually identified an unfixable break fault in the middle 4 cars. Passengers eventually moved to Kings Langley in front 4 only...

I noticed the new easement below referred to in another thread. This confirms rumours from months ago that Roydon southbound would be closed when they upgrade the platform. When this work was announced last summer there were rumours that the station would close, but as far as I am aware GA...

Earlier this year the old goods yard sidings immediately south of Bishops Stortford station were disconnected. In recent years they have only been used for engineering trains - unit type devices, not loco hauled. This morning one of those trains was in the sidings. Anyone know why a siding...

Yesterday a passenger asked GA on Twitter whether their Lowestoft to Stratford tic was valid via Norwich, Cambridge and KX. They were told no. But I think it is valid. NRE offers itineraries that way if you put via Cambridge, and using the new NRE maps again with via Cambridge it gives a...
