Hello all,
I am booking some travel for work coming up in the next few weeks where I need to do the following:
11th July morning:
Finsbury Park to Manchester
11th July late afternoon:
Manchester to Edinburgh
12th July early morning:
Edinburgh to Welwyn Garden City
12th July late evening...
I'm in a dispute with GWR over how late 1A32 BRI-PAD on Sunday 11th August was - this train was short formed and was full and standing the whole way, and was substituted for a pair of 165s vice and IET, which caused it to slowly lose time due to the lower top speed. Booked arrival time was...
Does anyone have any idea as to why the anytime and off peak fares from Alexandra Palace to Welwyn Garden City are almost the same price? £15.20 vs £14.30 for returns. And secondarily why are they so much more expensive than equivalent distances to stations on the Hertford Loop (ie Hertford North)
How many stations are there where different signal control centres (box, ROC, ASC, PSB, SCC whatever) control different platforms?
I don't mean situations like Stockport or Shrewsbury where the absolute block section is the length of the platform, but where different platforms are on physically...
I'd like some advice on the following
This weekend I need to travel to Manchester and will buy a ticket on the day as I'm not sure exactly of the travel times.
Leaving tomorrow will be straightforward, but coming back on Sunday there are practically no trains on the WCML as Avanti and LNWR are...
Need some advice on how to claim:
Journey was EUS to MAN with three tickets:
EUS-BHM -- Super Off Peak Single LNR Only £12.50
BHM-SOT -- Advance Single XC Only £6.25
SOT-MAN -- Advance Single XC Only £3.85
Booked to leave Euston at 15:56 and arrive in Manchester at 19:59. Outbound LNR was...
Trying to photograph them all before they go, and I only have a 2013 edition Quail book for North West.
Here's my list so far:
Manchester Piccadilly PSB
Manchester South SCC (Located at Edgeley)
Manchester East SCC (Ditto)
Manchester North SCC (But possibly now migrated to Ashburys ROC?)...
I've booked advance tickets to Lancaster for today, with the intention of doing the Cumbrian Coast line, but on checking this morning, all the trains on the Coast Line are significantly late, and there are weather warnings for the coastal areas. I decided I didn't want to travel, as there was...
I was wondering how many of these exist, as it seems quite common with with Branch lines in the UK.
Some examples:
Esk Valley Line - Reversal at Battersby
Tamar Valley Line - Reversal at Bere Alston
Looe Valley Line - Reversal at Coombe Junction
Bittern Line - Reversal at Cromer
Marlow Branch -...
I am travelling to London tomorrow, and staying with a friend for a week, and I would like to purchase a 7 day paper travelcard zones 1-6 as I don't have a ZIP card. Is there any way to purchase this on child fares? I can't get a visitor one as they are now too late to be posted. Are they...
Hi, I was looking to do an EM Day Ranger in the coming weeks, but looking at my plan, its not worth buying the day ranger. Instead I was thinking of buying the MAN to NOT Off Peak Return, but this is only valid on the 0943 onwards frrom Manchester. After looking at the Routeing Guide, it seems...
If I try to book from Manchester to Newcastle, the cheapest tickets I can find are marked AP TPE AND CONNECT. Does this mean that I will be booked on specific train to York, and then a specific to Newcastle, or a booked train to York and then I can get any train to Newcastle?

I know its a bit far in advance but what are the guesses on this? Mine is Northern Belle.
Apparently there was a Class 68 with Anglia coaches at Manchester Victoria yesterday around 0635. Anyone know what it was doing?
http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K07035/2017/06/13/advanced Is my guess, but there's also this too...
