I was one of those delayed when a small fire occurred alongside the railway line near Tamworth. I was detrained at Rugby and managed to get myself to New Street and finally got home 2 hours later than planned. I submitted a Delay Repay the same evening but haven't heard a thing since from...

After the bitter disappointment of getting down to the last 30 or so at London Midland and then getting the heave-ho after almost 6 months of being 'in the system' I haven't applied for anything else railway-esque but this week I was told about this role by my friend at Slough signal box and...

Hi Guys and Gals Need to know how I go about obtaining a copy of the CCTV footage for Angmering Railway Station from 12:50-13:10 today. Can't go into too much detail on here, but in order to know the truth of what went on I need to see the footage. No actual crime was committed but two...

Anyone know why there is a such a poor service between these two cities on a Saturday? The LAST DIRECT train is 20:01, followed by a train at 20:57 where one has to change at STA to get to Liverpool. After that it doesn't seem possible to get any further than Chester where one must then get a...

Just seen Mary Portas on a VT to Stockport. Just wondering who else has spotted a celeb whilst on their travels.

The slightest bit of snow and they are cancelling trains left right and centre. A friend of mine commutes from Hednesford to Birmingham and he was stranded this morning as 3 of their trains were cancelled meaning he either had to wait and hope the trains after 8am would run or catch a bus. I...

Anyone been on this Heritage Railway before as I am thinking of paying a visit to it one weekend soon. The website looks pretty good, and I am impressed that it links to the national network so easily. Apologies if this has been covered before, nothing came up in the search!

Is this a record? 1 adult male taking up all 4 seats with his coat laptop bag food bag, all the table with his laptop, newspapers and other detritus and then slung his holdall under two seats on the other side of FC. The bag looked unattended so as a responsible citizen I asked him if it was...

Although the date is Sept 2012 I'm sure I've read this story in the paper this week and it got me wondering if this sort of thing happens on the trains with the diesel units? Do they get brimmed 'as and when' they needit or is the fuel doled out per journey with stiff punishments if the fuel...

So other than Kenneth Grange (see other thread - HST designer Kenneth Grange to be knighted...) (very well deserved) what do we think of the rest? Not sure I agree with Cherie Blair getting a CBE!

A friend posted on Facebook earlier "I've just seen a child in a tracksuit go staggering, drunk, down the street, trip over nothing and faceplant the bonnet of my car, apparently it has an alarm. I'd be cheesed off if it wasn't so blooming superb. You are a winner, little chav, you won a black...

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move if required. I want to go to Fort William in late Jan (Thu 24th provisionally, returning either Sun 27th or Mon 28th) and have noticed the Bargain berth deals. The only thing is I live in Stafford, and the train stops at Crewe...

Whilst reading the £1000 ticket it occurred to me there must be ticket combinations that barely sell. e.g Return to Denton, SOV to SOC that sort of thing. I doubt we'd ever get an official list but happy to hear from those who sell the tickets about rarities they've come across over the...

I'm very sad to report the passing of the Good Doctor. A man who dedicated his entire life to making better bicycles and better cars (when they worked properly) I myself owned 4 Rover Metros fitted with his Hydragas suspension and found it to be one of the most comfortable small cars around...

Not sure whether this should be here or the quiz section but you've got 45 minutes to work out why the SGL ticket I bought today for £4.60 can be used to and from the destination.

After reading the Northern threads tonight I am sensing there is not a lot of love 'in the room' for them and was wondering how, as a fare paying passenger one could demonstrate, passively about them. Here is my idea. Please feel free to point out any inaccuracies etc Train tickets can be...

Following on from 'Sheffd Victoria's' excellent thread about Sunday Services I wanted to open a discussion about Post Rush Hour Services I would nominate the service from Wigan Wallgate to Kirkby. I'm planning a family day out to Glasgow a week on Monday and one of the party is having to...
