Have been trying National Rail journey planner for Clapham Junction to Salisbury. Get the result couldn't find any services for the journey you have requested. If I do Clapham junction to Basingstoke and Basingstoke to Salisbury separately that is ok. I assume something has broken in the...

Does anyone know how oyster will work tomorrow travelling to Gatwick Airport. Have to travel via East Grinstead from Clapham Junction. When I arrive at Gatwick do I just go up to the barrier staff and ask to be let through so I can then touch out ?

Santander are offering a free 4 year railcard if you are 20-25. All you have to do is open a savings account with them and deposit £50. I do wonder if it is correct. If you are 24 now does it mean they will issue a 16-25 railcard that will work until you are 28 ? Link here...

Haven't seen anything about this. Over the next ten years network rail are replacing the catenary as its over 50 years old. Rolling programme of 2 week closures for each section. Going to be a big job. I thought they had done this when the WCML was upgraded for the pendolino but obviously...

Travelling to Salisbury today on an Exeter St Davids service. Arrived at platform 3. There is a 2-4 stop board and a 6-8 stop board. Where is a 5 coach train supposed to stop ?? Had a good look and there is not one there. Did it fall off ?

I always thought it would be helpful if the London Underground roundels at the entrance had the name of the station rather than Underground. I was watching a video on youtube about Lambeth North and in one old photo the entrance roundel does have the name in it. So did all entrance roundel...

Saw the attached display on platform 12 at Paddington. Supposed to be for the Elisabeth line service. Next train for Cannon Street !!! It's been wrongly programed showing the information for a different station.

Waiting to get on a bus yesterday. Man in front of me had a regular bicycle. Took it onboard. Was surprised didn't know they were allowed. He even helpfully chained it up !

Waiting at Clapham Junction for this delayed train. Ran through non stop. I assume because it was running late ? Unfortunately no one seems to have informed the people operating the info screens. As a result it didn't display stand clear next train not stopping at this station.

I was wondering how long the driver training time varied depending on which line you drive ? I assume the Victoria, where the train drives itself between stations, would be shorter compared to the Bakerloo where the train is manually driven.

I see all Eurostar services have been cancelled due to flooding in a tunnel. Being such new infrastructure I would not expect it to happen. Maybe the pumps have failed ?

What does the ASLEF overtime ban actually mean. Previously they said they were banning contractual overtime. On their website it just says overtime. Does this mean those drivers who work Sundays as extra will be working or not ?

So some stations have missing platform numbers. Ones I can think of and the reasons why are Paddington platform 13. When platform 12 was extended it cut across the access to platform 13. Simpler to eliminate 13 than resignal the route indicator for platform 14. Bristol Temple Meads no...

I can't understand why the TSSA strike 6 and 7 October on GWR is having such an effect. Very few services are running. As drivers guards and signallers are all working normally why are so few services running ? Also GWR are getting 2 days most other operators only striking for one. Have GWR...

With the reduction in London commuting why not electrify 4th rail to Aylesbury and run Metropolitan S stock trains there. Would free up a few turbos to use elsewhere.

Apologies if this is in the wrong location. I understand that network rail managers are to get priv travel. Tessa have accepted a deal. Does anyone know what this will be. Is it boxes or just the 25% discount card. Also is in contractual or can it be withdrawn in the future. And will you still...

Pollution on some new UK trains is 13 times one of London’s busiest roads Nitrogen dioxide levels far exceed average recorded on traffic-clogged Marylebone Road, according to a study Full story in the Guardian...

I know it's very difficult/impossible to get new 3rd rail electrification due to the danger of the live rail. With current technology would it not be possible to only energise it when a train is in a section and have it off when no trains are running ? Obviously not a perfect solution but...

Just caught a Hounslow service and on departure from Waterloo it announced all the stops back to Waterloo. Don't think I've heard that before. Is it a new policy?

So following on from the thread about unlucky passengers travelling beyond there stop I thought I would start one about lucky travellers On a Friday afternoon a couple of children got on at Reading. They were aged about 13 and 10 and going to Maiden Newton. They should have got on the train...
