I'm thinking of purchasing (renewing) my Hatton-Lapworth annual gold card using trip.com; it mentions this will be issued as a "s-ticket". My question is how do I obtain the "Gold Card" using this ticket? Is it something a ticket office would do?

Is there a list of current hybrid units in TOPS (that aren't formed that way on purpose, e.g. 150/0's)? I only ask as came across 165018, which has one coach from 165024 and one from 165018. The two coaches that make up 165018 currently are 58868 and 58818. I'm not sure why 165018 was chosen...

OK, this is a bit random, but last Sunday I was on a train to Waterloo that used the route from the Up Window Reversible to the Up Windsor @ West Crossing outside Waterloo. This involved crossing the Up Windsor to reach the Down Windsor before immediately crossing back to the Up Windsor, using...

As per the title. National Rail goes by "A", whereas RTT reports it as "L". I'm pretty sure pre-expansion of the main station, it was "1" (which probably led to some confusion). Any help appreciated.

I am currently visiting all the stations, and in doing so, have noticed that there are bus services in the timetable that proclaim to be operated by TOCs. As I count each CRS (3Alpha) code, I was surprised bus stops were assigned these in the timetable. Looking at one particular route between...

I was looking at OTT maps and noticed two stations close together(hint) that had this strange arrangement and was wondering if there was any more (without going through my Quail maps!). I'll throw it out as a trivia question instead :)

Sorry if this has been asked umpteen times... I made a journey from Wimbledon to Basingstoke today and both the outward and return journey were delayed by over 60 (I think). I know the outward journey definitely was, but the return I was told to go via Reading and Ascot which took forever. I...

Yesterday 20/11, some early morning stopper services ran on the fasts between New Southgate and Welwyn Garden City. The first booked service from Kings X failed to do the move (I was on it), but the second (and last) did. I went from New Southgate (P3) to Oakleigh Park (P3) on 2V04, and...

Looks like Greater Cambridge Partnership are putting up the money and then getting it back from property developers in the future. Story here: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/greater-cambridge-partnership-takes-on-37m-waterbeach-station-relocation-with-regret/ar-AAZ9kUD Can't quite...

Taking a gamble last Black Friday, I booked 10 days in Glasgow in July for a good price, thinking I'll make use of the Spirit of Scotland Rover. It appears however that this has not been available since Lockdown 1. Anyone with insider knowledge know if this will be returning (preferably by...

Random question, I know. Just wondering if there is a platform/ground signal for this move. Theoretically, the train could use the x/o @ Staines West junction, but would this require a MOM? The reason I ask is that there was 2 trains scheduled to do this on 4/4, and as of today it has now...

As reported originally on the Branch Line Society (BLS) website and then Gensheet, Brockenhurst P3 is currently out of use (OOU), resulting in trains to the south using P1/P4. As this has been ongoing for a few days now, I was wondering what the problem is, and how much longer this is...

I know of the limited service via Knottingley, but I'm wondering if via Gilberdike is a permitted route? I know this involves a double-back, but it's the most direct way. All planners seem to route via Doncaster. Thanks for any help.

As per title, could someone give light to what this move is...and who gave it 6Z66 as the headcode?! It was a 66/7 with 5-6 hoppers on the Up Slow. Edit: Top and tailed by 66726 & 66790.

Looking to make a trip from Euston to Crewe in March and only Avanti fares are showing (even on LNWR site). Checked some other dates, and there are no LNWR fares to be found. Don't do social media to ask them what's up, but is this known about?

Until last week, there was a morning timetable of trains running between Waterloo and Wimbledon using the East Putney connection. Has this been scraped due to the strike/route knowledge? I find it hard to believe there are no trains at all until 11am from Wimbledon to Waterlooo, and what's...

Over the past weekend, I decided to use a 4 of 8 day Freedom of the North West Rover either side of the fantastic BLS Railtour. This is quite long, so sorry in advance. On Monday, I decided to visit Salwick on the Preston-Blackpool line. It receives about 3 trains in each direction and has no...

Quick question. On Saturdays when engineering stops the East Croydon - Milton Keynes running, can you use the DaySave on LNWR to get the MK? The info on national rail mentions ticket acceptance to Watford Junction only which doesn't seem fair if that is the case and misleading of the valid...

Long time since my last report; so long in fact that the previous thread is locked. I got a bit mythed with the forum as I asked to change my username a while back and was told this is a no-no except for 'exceptional circumstances'! It's also against forum rules to create another account...

I was on the above service from Exeter and was told by the guard the service would be terminating at Plymouth as the driver did not sign past there. I alighted at Ivybridge as the Penzance - London service was 20+ down and this made a good time to scratch this fairly low service shack off...
