There are times when memories fade and notebooks are never instructive enough - I'm looking to see if there are any dated weekend diversions known to have been in place between 1976-1980 where ECML diversions to/from King Cross from/to Doncaster and points north may have used the closed...

I have a query regarding my north-bound Pendolino yesterday that was routed from Rugby to Stafford via Bescot as a result of OHLE issues on the Trent Valley - is anyone able to confirm whether such diversion would have avoided Wolverhampton via Portobello and Bushbury Junctions? Many Thanks Rob

I won't repeat what I have posted over the years about being a regular but intermittent user of the Bedford to Bletchley line and how frustrating this can be at different times. I wanted to use the 09.24 from Bedford yesterday, Tuesday 23rd September but I've learnt not to show surprise when...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/east-west-rail-ewr-countdown-to-entry-into-service.275902/ It won't be long before our Government display interest again in investment made in the Oxford-Cambridge arc, and will need re-reminding that we still struggle to run a...

Probably a couple of really dumb questions due to my unfamiliarity with touch in/out using contactless card yesterday on London Overground. Using a contactless card (or phone) for start and end of each journey, if holding a concession Railcard (Disabled or Senior for example), how would...

Does anyone know the status of this unit please? It seems to have been at Norwich depot for some time??

Is anyone able to advise a resource that may show what was operating on the Liskeard to Looe branch on 14th October 2018 please?

Good morning, apologies if this seems an obvious question but I wanted to check what route a service I used from February 1994 would have taken. I travelled direct Stevenage to Glasgow Central (GNER?) with 91002 and wanted to confirm if the route will have taken Edinburgh Waverley - Carstairs -...

A general question really as I'm not sure what happens in situations where a day ranger or rover ticket is purchased but the intended planned itinerary for the day is not achieved due to late running train(s) or cancellations? Say hypothetically, I had an all lines rover and on a particular day...

Does anyone know if a data source exists that would tell me the Cl 325 unit ID consist for the Royal Mail working 1M96 16.16 Willesden to Warrington RM on Thursday 31st August 2023 please?

I'm probably missing something obvious here but will ask anyway! Realtime Trains is not showing any services between these stations yet thetrainline.com are selling tickets for a direct albeit a limited service? Is the Northern service cancelled under current timetable and why the discrepancy?

I'm used to London Travelcards being valid for all overground, underground, trams & buses Zones 1-6 but was surprised to get told that my card was invalid on South Eastern between Stratford and St Pancras. Surely inclusion of this short link wouldn't add much to ticket pricing?

seen top and tailed with 37668 & 37669 through Toton this morning on 09.40 5Z34 from Butterley MRC to Carnforth. Does anyone know more? https://www.flickr.com/photos/113816008@N03/

Hi, does anyone have any experience of books published under this name? I tried ordering some years back but gave up waiting and wondered if anyone knows if the books which were once advertised detailing the last movements of the Westerns to the cutter's torch at Swindon were ever produced and...

reliving my childhood from the 1970s and I have read that when D1062 Western Courier was taken inside the works at Swindon in 1976 to commence it's restoration, that D1068 which by chance failed at Swindon, was placed on the works turntable as it's replacement - until such time as D1015 Western...

I'm a new member who has found his old note books from the 1970s and I would like to know if there are any other members who can help clarify which scrapped Westerns were at Swindon works yard on a couple of dates when I visited. First visit was on 5th September 1976 which I think had been the...
