Inspired by this wacky thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/climate-change-is-fake-mod-warning-controversial-topic-enter-at-your-own-risk.182763/ Which news source do you most trust and which do you least trust? Not necessarily just for political news (which has tended to dominate...

As I'm about to take my 4th reduced-to-8-coaches 321 in 24 hours, it got me wondering... If it is down to flats due to adhesion issue, on average roughly how long would a set need to spend on the workshop?

Hi all, My son is at uni in Norwich and needs to come home this weekend. But he's lost his debit card. I can obviously buy them online for him but understand that he needs the/any debit card as well as the reference to collect them. He doesn't have a card. Is there another way I can do...

Have just been past the Ilford sheds and seen this rather splendid older loco in original white and blue BR livery. It looked fantastic. Anyone know what it's doing there?

I've recently moved work location which means for the forseeable future I'll be commuting in the peak, Monday to Friday for the full 5 days, from Shenfield to Farringdon Tube Station. Previously, PAYG on Oyster worked for me as I did just 3 days a week to Liverpool Street. However, my...

As per the title, I'm having trouble working what would be the most cost effective way of buying tickets for my son who has an 8-week work placement in London. The 5-day per week journey will be from Shenfield (we have Oyster) to Tottenham Court Road via Liverpool Street. As I understand...

Hi all, I have the prospect of a job in Manchester and good accommodation on Manchester Road in Bolton. I'd be looking to commute by train and can see times, costs etc. But how loaded would the service be from 0630 until 0800 for example? Is this generally a reliable service? Thanks in...

.....but was treated very well! I know we normally only hear of the tales of poor treatment at the hands of dastardly revenue inspectors and guards but this is not one of them! My son's a student in Canterbury and came home on Friday. His journey is HS1 to Stratford and then a short hop...

I have to be in Manchester on a Monday morning 10 days ahead for an 11am meeting. Having relatives in Leeds and Bolton, the default option for me is to drive up over the weekend and stay over on Sunday. Long drives don't worry me. Although a regular short distance commuter, I rarely use long...

I've tried a search to no avail, but can anyone point me in the direction of a link to the setting plans? The AGA booking site doesn't specify forward/rearward facing nor twin/individual seats in 1st and I'd like to know what I'm booking. Thanks!

I found a new train! Well it is for me, anyway. 1702 from Liverpool Street to Norwich. It's a 12 coach 321 which unusually for a Norwich service, stops at Shenfield. I would have noticed this if it had been stopping at SNF for a while, and it fills the aching chasm between the 1654 and...

Routine patrol or would they only be here as a result of a specific threat?

Saw this last night at Shenfield, c 1900 stopped, empty and apparently not going anywhere in platform 1. Dwell time is normally very short on the fast lines. It was attached to an old set in GA colours but appeared to be spanking new inside with aircon, non-opening windows and loud colours. It...

At Shenfield for Liverpool Street. Never seen that before. Surely it won't fit in at Liv St?
