1 -day Northern Explorer £35 for one person; £60 for 2 persons. If the two persons are joining exactly the same itinerary at different places (i.e one begins travel at an earlier station than the other; they meet en route) can the one person make that first part of the journey alone using a...

I'm starting a separate thread on the subject of Motoring Taxes so as to split away the continued discussion on this away from the more general EVs thread. That sub-discussion has already drifted away from EVs specifically. This is prompted by the stated government intention to replace lost...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/heathrow-airport-no-longer-in-zone-6.277886 Better yet - as in Manchester (and probably elsewhere) - do away with premium fares because it's an airport.

At one time recently, Jim Ratcliffe was the UKs richest person, with assets (mostly Ineos shares) worth in excess of £16 billion. I believe James Dyson is worth a similar amount. Suppose £16bn was handed to you with the caveat that you may only spend it on building railway routes for passenger...

According to the Sheffield Star https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/traffic-and-travel/we-need-go-back-future-call-electrified-train-line-between-manchester-and-sheffield-1354577 My own thoughts on the matter are this: 1: Without substantial civil engineering in Sheffield it can't readily serve...

I have just noticed that (for what I believe is the first time) Northern are actually proposing to increase services between Sheffield and Lincoln over the Christmas Market period. Normal Mon-Sat service pattern on this route (outside peak times) consists of - all stations Sheffield <>...

Done as a new thread, as it would be way off topic where the quote originates. I, too, am interested in this - not from a 230 or shuttle perspective, but generally. Unless I misread it, Far North services routinely arrive at Georgemas; reverse to Thurso; reverse there to Wick via Georgemas...

For the purposes of this exercise, let us suppose that the ticket held is a straightforward "any permitted" return with no break of journey restrictions, from A to D, and not operator specific. The normal daily, daytime service pattern has through services between A and D via B. Thus...

Orlando's SunRail southern extension - opening soon! Existing services operate at increased frequency from 23 June in preparation for the full opening to the public of the southern extension to Kissimmee and Poinciana a week later. Still only a Monday-Friday service, though. See...

It appears a freight train is on the ground somewhere near Nunnery and nothing is able to arrive at or leave Sheffield to the north. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/162853.aspx And so we have buses doing things that trains are supposed to do - unavoidable obviously for much...

Scotrail have a small groups offer - 3 for 2 advertised (although at present, it's not showing up on NR or Scotrail's booking engines - but can we leave that aside for the moment....) Three of us need to travel Edinburgh > Glasgow Queen Street, with bikes. The exact train isn't important -...

I had to chuckle to myself. Yesterday, I changed my EMail address on the VTEC website. Today I received this EMail twice Why the chuckle? Both instances of this EMail were received by the NEW address. In other words, if this had in fact been the result of some fraudulent activity by a...

I don't want to be specific about the wheres involved as this is a question of principles rather than specifics.. So it's just letters for place names. Imagine a triangle with Z at the top, G in the right bottom corner; S in the left bottom corner, and A midway along the bottom edge. You...

I was just checking off my credit card statement and I spotted that the transaction at the (as far as I know) Northern operated ticket office at my nearby staffed station is described as "First {name of the station}".

Yesterday at around 1230 I spotted an East Midlands meridian unit seemingly stationary on the eastbound running line just past Woodhouse Junction (Sth Yorks) on the line towards Worksop/Retford. There is no EMT service normally expected via this route, and even if the usual route south of...
