Hello - I was wondering whether anyone could point me towards any diagrams for the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn? More specifically for the Zermatt line - would enjoy a ride on a loco hauled train if possible, or failing that one of the new Orion units. Many thanks!
Hello. Does anyone know what the protocol is when a rail replacement bus service is announced after an advance ticket has been bought?
In particular: the emergency Crewkerne to Exeter substitution this weekend which was only announced on Tuesday. I have Advance Singles to travel from London to...
Hello,
Just something that I've had on my mind for a while. A couple of times I have booked Advance Singles on Trainsplit - without splitting but because it was the cheapest place to buy the through ticket. They were all routed 'booked LNER trains and required connections' (or equivalent), but...
Hi everyone - just a quick question, but does anyone know which route between Brno and Prague is most interesting/scenic? Is it worth the time penalty to go via Havlickuv Brod? Or is there an even better branch line route?
Hello everyone,
I have a five day trip to Lithuania next month - based in Vilnius, so was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for places to visit, day trips, or interesting transport?
I'm also thinking of making a day trip to Daugavpils in Latvia and as far as I understand it, you...
Hi everyone,
As title suggests - have a trip to Sofia next month. Was wondering what the transport situation is like and whether anyone has any suggestions for possible trips, either for transport or scenic interest?
I'm planning to take a trip on one of the old RVR units through the gorge...
Hi all. Have two days to explore the Rhatische Bahn network next month - based in Tirano and concentrating on the main Bernina and Albula routes. Does anyone have any idea of what tickets are best for this - point to point tickets, or one of the range of rover passes (that I'm struggling to find...
Hi - just a quick one, I assume it is fine but would a (super off peak) Cambridge to London Travelcard be valid on LNER between Stevenage and Kings Cross? So taking a Thameslink to Stevenage then changing to get into London. Many thanks
Hi everyone,
Have my first long trip to Paris for a couple of years next month and was wondering what of note there is in terms of trains to ride? I'll be able to travel within the Z1-5 Navigo zones but no further, mainly I'm looking for any old stock/loco-hauled trains that are left, or any...
Hi all, have a trip to Slovenia (will be based in Ljubljana) booked and have been researching, with a lot more success in some areas than others, so thought I'd ask here since information is so sparse in places.
In short which trips are worth doing - in terms of scenery and traction?
From what...
Hi - have the opportunity next week to do this line via Krasny Jez which is apparently quite scenic? Struggling to find anything about it though so has anyone been on it and is it worth worth the trip - or are there any other lines in the area that are? Also is there a side of the train with...
Was having a discussion with some of my friends who don't travel by train often earlier. They said they prefer to make long distance trips by plane rather than rail (especially alone/if asleep) given that it feels safer in terms of personal security on a plane. Reasons cited included people...
Next month I have two and a half hours in Mallaig (on a Wednesday, arriving at 1234 and leaving on the 1605). https://westernislescruises.co.uk/knoydart-ferry-timetable/ suggests that there is a ferry at 1430, taking an hour for the round trip to Inverie, which I could do in between trains.
Has...
Hi all,
Next month I have a weekend in Prague. What are some interesting trains or scenic lines that I could ride? Also, what else is worth seeing?
All advice is greatly appreciated.
(Boris Johnson talks about painting cardboard wine cases to look like double deck buses, then making models of 'happy passengers' to put in them)
This might be the weirdest, most ridiculous thing I've ever seen...
Hello all,
Today I attempted the journey as I described yesterday in my thread in the 'Fares Advice' forum:
https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/london-to-stevenage-query.183373/
As recommended, I attempted to buy a BZ6 to Stevenage return from the ticket office at Kings Cross. I was told that...
Hi,
If I buy a Hatfield to London Z1-6 travelcard and wish to travel on the:
14:33 KGX to SVG (LNER)
14:59 SVG to KGX (LNER)
Would a Hatfield to Stevenage return cover it or would I need a BZ6 to Stevenage return? Alternatively should I just buy a Stevenage to Z1-6 travelcard instead?
Could someone please advise what ticket would be valid for the following journey:
St Albans City - Bedford - Bletchley - Watford Jct - St Albans Abbey
Thanks!
