    Interrail london to Holyhead

    I am intending to travel from London to Ireland for a week or so in the near future. I have looked at the Interrail website and just wanted to check that if I buy a period ticket (first class), that it would allow me to travel from Euston to Holyhead on the morning train as 1 of my travel days...

    Could the Eastbourne to Hastings line be increased to 90mph?

    Probably a silly question, but is the reason that the line between Eastbourne to Hastings is limited to 70mph because of signalling and (or) track condition? Just seems that for 'fast' trains something like 90mph might make a useful difference to timings? Cheers.

    St Leonard's Railway staff association club.

    I am just wondering if anyone may have some old images (internal or external) or memories of this club please? It burned down in circa 2005 and the site is now a playground and art space. It was next to Warrior Square station and the London bound platform looks like it may have had an entrance...

    delay repay

    Afternoon all. This is probably a stupid question, but here goes anyway! I was delayed (over 40 mins) by the signal problems in the St Johns area last week. I should be eligible for some rail vouchers, but stupidly forgot to hold onto the return portion of my train ticket that day. Will...

    12.06 FGW Paddington to Penzance.

    I want to take my wife on the above service on a Friday in late June and use the restaurant car. Is it worth taking the risk of just buying a standard class ticket and trying to get a seat for lunch on the day in the restaurant - or would I be better advised to get a 1st class advance as they...

    Two together Railcard.

    Does anyone out there know whether you can use this railcard to purchase tickets on the sleeper train please? Am assuming not due to the time restrictions of 04:30 to 09:30 - but I cannot see any specific exclusions on the 'cannot' section of the application form. Many thanks.

    First class single to Penzance Friday.

    Hi there. I need to get to Penzance urgently on Friday 29th I expected due to the day of the week, time (18.03) and closeness of the travel date to pay (circa) £180 for a first class single. Great Western's site is showing £718!! Surely this is a mistake.... ? I could hire a limo to take...

    Wrexham And Shropshire Food

    I had a look at the menu for standard class passengers on the W & S site a while ago. It mentions a silver service option in standard class. Does this mean that by paying the £12.95 (I think it was), that you can be served a two course meal at your seat - or do they - like Virgin give you a...

    Gold Card

    I have an annual gold card and keep trying to use it after 10am on various routes. As I do a lot of long (ish) journeys to do with work, I nearly always pay the £5 extra 1st supplement. I have had nothing but problems trying to get train or ticket staff to give me the supplement ticket - some...
