These have never been very good but recently it seems more than half are broken and have been so for ages. What the hell is going on?

I'm not sure if this fits here or in speculative discussion, if the latter, I apologize and ask the mods to move it there. As per the title, if the Snow Hill lines were to be electrified, would there be problems because of the long sections where the tram runs parallel? The tram of course is...

Does anyone have these? I realise Chiltern won't go to Kiddy anymore at all from May, I'm assuming this means there'll be a total rejig of the diagrams.

To celebrate yesterday's opening of The London and NorthWestern at Birmingham New Street (I was there for a pint to celebrate!), which stations have a Wetherspoons pub?

The continental country whose roads I'm more familiar with is Portugal, but also done my share of driving in the US and Canada. As per the thread title, it seems that only under duress will UK highway engineers vary the old "bung a roundabout on top" approach. Junctions that would get a...

Does anyone know the diagram for the one 802 TPE has on WCML services?

I've noticed occasionally we've been getting some 153s (usually a pair of a full-PRM unit with a /9) coming to Brum, usually coupled with a 158. Is this diagrammed, or is it just a case of a last minute sub? If it is diagrammed, can someone post the diagrams, please?

More specifically, does anyone know when the Cross City Line went to 6tph?

I don't know what the new one is like, since I haven't been to those parts in a while, but the old Londonderry Station was perfectly representative of the city :p

I noticed that almost all of the Cardiff to Nottingham trains have only been operating with one unit, and there's even an out and back service with a Voyager deputising. Given the still reduced timetable this doesn't look great, have they been having availability issues?

Have these all carried passengers? Last time I looked at it, before the last time they restarted service in April, there was one unit that hadn't entered service yet, though I can't remember which one.

Thread specifically to discuss the railway implications, rather than the actual politics outwith the railway. My first guess is that Ben Houchen will get the Darlington station remodelling he's been pushing for!

Simple as per the title. Include the cat's name if you know! I'll start with Huddersfield with Felix and Bolt, as everyone surely knows by now, and more local to me, Stourbridge Junction with lovely orange tabby George!

Does anyone know of any map online which shows which of the Big Four companies owned the lines in the current network?

If anyone here knows y local station of Kings Norton, you'll know it has a disused island platform. That's covered in all kinds of rubbish, mostly dead tree branches and leaves. I've often thought it makes the whole place look rather grubby. I'd be happy to volunteer to clean it myself over a...

Photo taken from P1 at Kings Norton.

I was walking along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal towpath, which runs alongside the cross city line, and saw something I didn't know existed before: a signal on the line was displaying a flashing double yellow aspect. What does this mean?

Hope someone can help me with this. I'll be having to go from Euston to Heathrow next week as part of work travel, so I'll need a receipt to expense it. Is there a way to obtain a receipt from paying with a contactless credit card, or do I have to go through the rigmarole of buying a paper ticket?

I noticed the post on the frequently requested diagrams thread about these trains has not been up to date since December 2018. I assume since the number of 319s has more than doubled since then, the diagrams have done likewise? Can anyone shed any light on what they're going to be from Monday...

Just saw on my train this morning that LNR seem to be taking an interesting approach to seat refurbishment in 350/1s....
