Currently travelling down to London. Turned into a bit of a mess really. I'm on the 11:06 Manchester-Crewe (Northern) which is a valid connection (+15) onto the 12:13 Crewe-London (West Midlands Trains). I'll miss the 12:13 due to the delay on the Northern service, which is just rolling into...

The Daily Express on their FB article are claiming, or at least heavily implying, that the signal protecting the 810 was reverted. Is this just the writer assuming all signals are always green unless specifically changed, poor journalism, or something more significant?

Due to the major disruption to Dutch rail services today (which of course weather related disruption only happens in the UK according to the Daily Mail!), I'm heading home with Stena Line. I'm using a SailRail from Hook of Holland to "Any Greater Anglia Station". Is break of journey allowed...

I'd like the expert's opinion on this, wether I've done the right thing or been overly cautious. I purchased a ticket from (the ticket office, FWIW, though it'd be CCST regardless) at station A and boarded the train to station B. A, a short local journey. Whilst onboard I realised that the...

I've been doing some research online and seem to be getting mixed answers. So I thought I'd ask here on the off chance anyone else has been unfortunate enough to have the same issue. I was denied boarding by Eurostar yesterday at St. Pancras as they were running a shorter train than scheduled...

I've got a period of annual leave next month which I've just realised involves the Easter weekend. I know in the UK that means engineering works and buses galore, with long distance travel usually being heavily disrupted. But how is it on the continent? I've got an Interrail penciled in for 2...

Is 710105 in service or it is long term out of use? It's my last one for haulage and I've never even seen it. So wondering if I've just been unlucky or if there's a reason for it I'm not aware of?

According to BRFares (https://www.brfares.com/!fares?orig=SOY&dest=ABD&rlc=YNG&period=20240928), there is a fare available from Stornoway to Aberdeen, which I would like to buy. However I can't find any booking site nor Avanti or Northern TVMs that will sell it. They recognise Stornoway as a...

Slightly surprised a thread like this doesn't exist, so I'm starting one as I'm after some advice. For the second time in 2 months I'm needing a new phone after some truly shocking luck. The phone I've managed to destroy this evening is a Motorola Moto G54, which I was largely happy with...

Not actually had this happen before, so I'm not sure what the official line is. I'm currently travelling on an advance single to Thanet Parkway. I've missed my connection out of St. Pancakes due to GWR cancelling my service from Bristol. It's a through ticket, not that it really should make a...

What exactly are you entitled to when using a National Rail ticket with a Maltese Cross? Is it simply a zone 1 tube journey, with no entitlement to resume, or does it have to be between the relevant London termini? Eg: could a passenger with a Milton Keynes-Sevenoaks Off Peak return instead...

Had an issue this morning which I'm not sure how is best to deal with. We went to a Southern ticket office and asked for a Zones 1-9 travelcard. I've had one before, which I'm pretty certain was from the same ticket office and it was issued as an inboundary travelcard, I think from Chesham or...

Just had an email back from GTR regarding a delay on the 10th October. I was attempting to travel from Stevenage to Arlesley on the 12:44 service. This train was upwards of 30 late and the stops at Arlesley, Sandy and St. Neots were ripped out. I had to alight at Hitchin as a result. The next...

I'm after taking track coverage to the next level. I've currently got a Baker Atlas, however I've covered a fair bit of the track in that now-with the exception of areas I've never visited at all. The Quail atlases look perfect-however the North West & Midlands one (covering my local area) has...

Just recieved a phone call from a family member asking if I was expecting a letter from a FirstGroup TOC. I'm not expecting anything delay repay wise that I can think of, though I have got a job application ongoing, and have been told it's a completely different name on the letter. It's a...

Right. Looks like my trusty Samsung Galaxy S6 of 2.5 years has given up. Was on charge in the kitchen at 89%, unplugged it and went to switch it on in the living room. Nothing. Not a thing. This was an hour ago, and it's still lifeless. I'm going to take it into Samsung tomorrow to look at...

Would anyone have a list of the booked workings of Northern 153s through Leeds on Mondays-Fridays and/or Saturdays? Still need 4 Northern 153s!

Trying to work out the mileage from my farce of a trip to Nottinghamshire 3 weeks or so back. Struggling to find the required mileages for the NET network-they aren't on the forum and a quick search has sent me to the distances just for the extensions. Help?:D I need: Bulwell-Hucknall...

Not come across this before. Searched on NRE on my way into Liverpool for advances to and from Glasgo in October. This is a journey I do several times a year, so am familiar with the correct fares-NRE was displaying £7.90 railcard advances each way from Warrington to Glasgow. I've just gone...

On the 31st July, Merseyrail introduced a requirement to have ID to purchase a 16-18 ticket. Since then, I've had several problems purchasing a ticket. The posters advertising the requirement clearly state that you must have a Merseyrail ID Card, Passport or Driving License. I've just...
