Hi, I'm flying to Gatwick airport on Thursday the 15th December, intending to take an onward train to Brighton. Then I plan to travel from Brighton to London on Sunday the 18th. Are trains actually running on these dates? The National rail app has a bulletin along the lines of "Strike...

Currently 4 freight trains between Dalry and Paisley Gilmore street. All seem to have come from Carlisle via Mauchline. What's going on? WCML closed? Seems like a bit of a freight convoy! https://archive.is/7029E https://archive.is/sShnw https://archive.is/WGfPE https://archive.is/AaUsn...

I've noted that part of North London Line is closed (Gospel oak to Stratford) from boxing day till the 3rd of January. What's the work that's being done? Is it connected to the KINGS cross works? Seems major if it's closed for so long, busy freight routes out of action if Camden Road is...

Hi, I thought i was knowledgeable about most rail lines in SW Scotland but I never even knew this one existed. I understand it was re-opened in 1988? I'd be interested in the recent history of the line. What traffic it sees and its use as a diversionary route etc. It seems quite a strange...

Hi, Just wondering the cheapest way to get to Gatwick with a friend. Seems very complicated! I'm meeting my friend at St Pancras off his EMT service this Thursady. We are both then travelling to Gatwick via Thameslink off peak. We will returning next Monday, off peak again. I have a Annual...

Hi, I'm off to Scotland for Christmas on Sunday. A lot of the Euston to Glasgow trains seem to be fully reserved, even in 1st class. I know I've left it late plus the situation at Gatwick probably adding to the strain. Ideally i'd like to travel up on the 12.30 to Glasgow from Euston. Is this...

Hi, Just by chance, whilst out for a run this evening I saw some coaching stock running west over the river Lea towards tottenham hale. Pretty unusual sighting. Checked it out on realtraintimes and it's this service - http://archive.is/m2aPq#selection-1341.0-1372.0 I'm guessing anything from...

They're surely not carting passengers around in a freezer? However the greenock telegraph's obviously having a few slow news months and keeps publishing anti 314 stories. complete with "they lack heating"...

Hi, I have a tfl oyster season ticket. However when I travel outside my zones I'm still being charged the full fare. This happens every year, nothing strange here. But now the LUL ticket offices are all closed how do I apply the discount to my card? Thanks

Hi, Did a forum search for "clapton" but was no use at all. I notice there are no services from Hackney downs or Clapton today despite there being a Chingford service from Liverpool street. Tfl website states : CLAPTON STATION: Closed from Wednesday 27 December until Monday 1 January...

Seems like everything that could possibly go wrong today did. Arsenal playing at home tonight has no doubt compounded things somewhat. jeepers. stressful day, and searching for tfl on twitter it seems i'm not the only one

Hi, I was making a day trip to Stevenage yesterday from London. BZ3 to Stevenage with a gold card. I used a London Overground ticket machine to buy the ticket. Cheapest ticket that was offered was the £10.25 off-peak day return, which I stupidly purchased, not remembering it was a Saturday...

On Saturday I saw a freight train crossing the River Lea near Tottenham Hale. Not a common sight. I assumed it had come through Tottenham Hale station but it seems it originated near Kentish Town. I found the train on RTT http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H61630/2016/01/30/advanced...

Hi all, off to Luton this Saturday. I was just wondering if THIS ticket is valid on the fast trains from St Pancras? http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=0042&dest=LUT&rlc=NGC&tkt=CBA I can't find anything in the huge load of conditions which states not valid by EMT. Although the ticket...

I tried to get this 2 years ago but it just reversed at London Fields and went back out towards seven sisters. grr. Yesterday I happened to be in Hackney Downs around the time so waited for it. Apologies for quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCeC88nvdMA

Noticed Euston was closed today. I need to get my gold record card added to my oyster you see. Thanks

Hi, I just renewed my zone 1-3 oyster season online. I touched in at my local station to complete the purchase successfully. The tube stations near me have recently had their ticket offices closed otherwise I would have bought at the station. Does my Gold Card come through the post or do...

Hi, Walthamstow Central & St James Street have had gatelines in situation for some time now in preparation for the handover to London Overground at the end of this month. Walthamstow Central needed quite a bit of structural work and a new cage on the Chinford platform to prevent any...
