Based on previous year’s public transport on Boxing Day, I’m trying to work out a route with the shortest initial taxi ride from Worksop. I’m thinking: Taxi to Halfway tram stop Tram to Meadowhall NEx or FlixBus to Leeds Boxing Day bus to Bradford. Pending knowing what will run on Boxing Day...

When 2 (or more) trains scheduled to depart in the same minute, how are those trains sorted. The reason I ask is that I was at Halifax earlier. There are 2 trains scheduled to depart at 1341; a Leeds-Bradford Interchange via Dewsbury, and its return working. The weird bit is that about every...

Travelling on the Settle & Carlisle this week reminded me of the time in 2017 when I was heading from Leeds to Glasgow via the S&C. Due to issues north of Settle, we were diverted non-stop from Long Preston to Lancaster, so those of us heading to Carlisle and beyond could pick up a northbound...

I had a lovely morning walking from Braystones to Nethertown. I got here at 1215, checked online and the next service, the 1341 to Corkickle, has been cancelled. So I rang the Northern customer support line and they’re closed until 2pm for staff training I tried to flag down a passing (not...

I’m on 1456 GC Kings Cross to Bradford Interchange and we’ve been sat at New Barnet for 80 minutes. National Rail says: “An emergency exit handle has been activated on a train. As a result, the train can't be moved until the cause of the issue is investigated, and any affected doors have been...

I was looking for 3 adults to go up from Canterbury West to St Pancras for the day - up in the afternoon, back in the late evening. One with a disabled railcard, one as a carer and one 'normal'. As I didn't know about Groupsave, having specified 3 adults and 1 railcard, I was expecting 2...

This ECS takes 3¼ hours to get from Doncaster depot to Forster Square to form the 0843 to Kings Cross. It spends an hour in the Hemsworth loop, 10 minutes in Leeds and around 45 minutes in the Kirkstall loop. So I'm guessing the important stop is Leeds. Is that where it takes on food for the...

With the South Humberside main line bustituted today and tomorrow between Doncaster and Scunthorpe, the 1320 Northern from Cleethorpes to Sheffield via Brigg was standing room only as the only service over the next 2 days to the ECML or Sheffield not affected. I got off at Brigg and the...

Mistyping SHY (for Shipley) into LNER’s reservation portal, one of the suggestions that came up was SHUGBRGH VIAZAKS as a destination. I’m guessing it was a through ticket to the Shugborough estate in Essex, but does anyone know what VIAZAKS was trying to get people to go via?

Rochdale-Manchester Victoria has a 2+ week blockade in September. If you fancy doing the almost full loop via Blackburn, Northern are running Manchester-Rochdale through trains and I can see on the LNER app that there are £3.50 advance tickets available.

NRES is showing an 0210 rail replacement bus from Hexham to Newcastle. Any ideas if this is real? And if not, how did it get into the system?

I was on the 1750 St Pancras-Margate via Canterbury West this evening and it made an extra stop at Chilham at 1835. Does anyone know why? The stop is noted on https://www.recenttraintimes.co.uk/Home/Service?ServiceId=122721682 I was in the rear half so didn't see who was on the platform, but...

I travelled from Saunderton to Shipley on a Sunday with a Super Off-Peak single. I bought the ticket from LNER app that morning and was planning on going via Marylebone, Kings Cross and Leeds. But just before I travelled, I checked online and LNER had issued a do not travel warning due to OHLE...

I was due to travel on this morning’s 0900 XC service southbound from Leeds. But the call at Doncaster was cancelled “due to staff training”. What could that actually mean? A lack of staff training and a guard or driver who doesn’t sign the Doncaster route?

From the LNER app: “No late night / early morning LNER service between Newark North Gate and Darlington on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 October “Engineering work is taking place between Newark North Gate and Darlington, closing some lines. From 22:00 until 10:00, no services are able to operate...

I visit London every few months and always use my iPhone with my debit card (set up as my Express Travel card) to tap in and out. I currently have 2 contactless cards set up in my TFL account: my bank account debit card and my Apple Pay mobile payments (which takes money from my bank account)...

I was planning this journey and noted that the only mapped routes involve going from Huddersfield to Wakefield not via Leeds. The only journeys I'm getting in the LNER journey planner now are those that use Grand Central services between Mirfield and Wakefield, as Mirfield is a Huddersfield...

I travelled from Kings Cross-Shipley today, and with it being a Friday, there was no restrictions and I could get a Super Off-Peak single for £69.50. But I noticed when using the LNER app that travelling via York - which is a valid route - if you get a GC service to York and then change, you...

Obviously there's the loop from St Pancras to St Pancras via Deal and the line down to Maidstone West. Didn't the last STP-Ramsgate used to go via Canterbury East one night a week to get from Faversham to Ramsgate when the line through Whitstable was closed? There used to be weekly(?) ECS into...
