Hi - I am walking in the South Downs on Saturday, the walk starts at Lancing station and finishes at Amberley station. Travelling to/from Clapham Junction, what is the cheapest ticket for 1 adult (no railcard). I am guessing a day return to somewhere on the line between Hove and Littlehampton...

I saw this article in the Times today, which implies that there is spare capacity on the WCML which should be used for more services (the author seems to be supporting open access applications)...

A couple of questions about LNER app and seat reservations. I booked a super off peak single for today from Kings X to Hull on the LNER direct at 18:09. Then my plans changed and I need to travel this morning instead. So went into the app - but there is no way of changing the reservation from...

A bit of advice needed. I am travelling back to London from a work meeting in Glasgow in a couple of weeks, and for personal reasons want to stop off in Manchester for a couple of hours. My work will pay for a Glasgow-London single ticket. Am I right in thinking that, assuming the ticket is...

Southbound service blocking the line at Oxenholme. I am at Glasgow Central trying to catch the 1640 Euston which is showing as delayed. Station announcements are directing London passengers to go via Edinburgh - but looks like the 1830 Kings x is cancelled, so the only alternative is the very...

Hi - some advice needed. I am planning a hike along the South Downs from Amberley to Portslade, taking the train from London to Amberley and back from Portslade. What is the best ticket / combination for this? It would be on a Saturday or Sunday. My initial thought was to get an off-peak day...

I am currently at Preston having been on the 0830 Euston to Glasgow which has been terminated here due to a broken down train at Carnforth (looks like 4S60 is the culprit). Any advice on alternative routes? Advice here at Preston is to wait for a rail replacement coach to Carlisle but no sign...

When did Northern stop serving the Doncaster to Selby route? I was trying to plot a route from London to Garforth a few weeks ago, avoiding Leeds because of the OHLE damage. And was surprised to see that the only services on this route are now the Hull Trains services. I remember that when the...

Chaos on SWR suburban this morning, 2D05 0609 Waterloo to Guildford has failed at platform 11 which means the down slow is closed from Vauxhall to Wimbledon. Does anyone know the cause of failure or why it is taking so long to move the failed unit?

We're travelling to Loughborough this weekend for a university open day but due to engineering, EM are on rail replacement buses between Luton and Bedford. Interestingly the planning websites are all showing routes via either Bletchley/Bedford or Nuneaton/Leicester and not via the RRBs. A...

I am currently on the 1730 Glasgow-Euston Avanti service which, when I checked on the National Rail app at 1655 (just before leaving my office), was showing as cancelled. I decided to walk down to the station anyway, and lo and behold, the service had been reinstated. What would my position be...

Person hit by a train near Newark, looks like delays and cancellations for the next few hours. I am on 1500 Kings X to Stirling which is being held south of Grantham. Looks like the train involved is 1N95 Grand Central to Sunderland.

Another problem on the ECML this morning - seems to be blocked due to a fallen tree at Hitchin. Does anyone have information about likely length of the delay, I am due to be meeting people off the train at Kings Cross at 1pm?

I understand that there is major engineering work planned this weekend on SWR at Raynes Park, with all lines closed. The engineering works diary on National Rail website and also on SWR's website mention this, with details of all the diversions, alterations and bustitutions. However the online...

I am trying to book an off-peak return to Manchester this weekend - but the Avanti website comes up with a message "There are no more seats available to reserve" and will not let me complete the booking. Can I just buy an off-peak return at the station and travel on any service on Saturday (out)...

I've been keeping an eye on the Avanti website for advance tickets for London-Manchester return on 11/12 Dec (weekend) since mid-September, but nothing has come up at all. Checking again today on the Avanti app, it appears that there are no advances available northbound at any time on Sat 11th -...

Due to a family issue, I need to travel from Hull to London on Saturday - but due to the Kings X blockade, the best route is via Sheffield to St Pancras. There are no Advance tickets available on this routing, so it looks like the fare will be well over £100 unless anyone has any bright ideas? I...

There are a number of lines around the Yorkshire/Humberside/N Lincs area that in normal (i.e. pre-Covid) times only have a very infrequent or even Parliamentary service: - Leeds - Goole - 1 per day in each direction - York - Sheffield via Pontefract - 2(?) per day in each direction - Sheffield -...

Interesting interview with Plaid Cymru leader in the Guardian today: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/dec/07/plaid-cymru-calls-for-trans-wales-railway-to-boost-economy-adam-price What ideas are floating around for better north/south links for Wales? How would reopening...

Does anyone have any more information on this consultation? I saw a poster at Raynes Park this evening about cutting back a number of late night services - but the URL on the poster (www.southwesternrailway.com/consultation) just links to a page that says “Our consultation will open soon”.
