I've been trying to find some historic timetables for the two southern routes to Cinderford prior to closure in the late 1940's / early 1950's. Cinderford New - Newnham Cinderford New - Lydeny (via Drybrook Road) Does anyone happen to have any information? Anything is helpful, from timings...

Couldn't see a thread for this, and as the cuts are multi-operator, figured a new thread would be best... West of England Combined Authority have signed off the withdrawal of 36 routes because funding can't be agreed between councils. Appalling as these changes will leave vast areas without a...

I'm a very regular user of buses, and I've noticed that the vast majority of bus companies are very poor at using social media, especially when it comes to posting about delays. This week and next week my local route is on diversion and Stagecoach didn't tweet anything until after I tweeted to...

Hi all, Hoping someone can help. My better half has been offered an interview with Stagecoach for a Trainee Bus Driver position, and we have a couple of questions that I was wondering if anyone on here has the answer to? Firstly, what is the shift pattern like? Is every week quite mixed, or...

Today there is a 13:00 Swindon - Newport via Bristol (and the Lydney detour due to the tunnel being shut) and then a return journey as far as Bristol Temple Meads. What's the purpose of this journey? The ECS has come some considerable distance, and it spends next to no time in Newport.

Hi all, A friend has asked for some advice on going between Lancaster and Bristol Temple Meads. BR Fares shows this ticket: http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=LAN&dest=BRI&tkt=SVH However I can't seem to find this ticket on any website (it is only showing the more expensive...

I'm making a journey from Reading (RDG) to Penrhyndeudraeth (PRH) on Friday, returning a week Sunday. I'm intending to catch the 12:15 off RDG as far as Wolverhampton, before changing onto the ATW unit for the long slog to PRH. For the return, I'm wishing to catch the 12:06 from PRH back...

I've created this thread to avoid dragging my trip report too off topic. I'm currently looking at going to France for a couple of days (specifically Lille). I'm planning on getting a train to Dover, getting the ferry and then training it to Lille. The return journey will by plane. I've got a...

Hi all, Was having a read of the following document: CLICK HERE On page 16 it talks about free travel on P&O / Stenna Line services subject to paying the port taxes. Does anyone happen to know the port taxes for the following journeys as a foot passenger? Fishguard Harbour to...

I'm planning a couple of trips around the country, and am looking to get hold of some paper timetables in advance (to allow me to plan what I'm doing.) Just wondering if anyone lives in any of the following areas and would be willing to post local timetables to me? Will happily refund the...

For those of you that are interested, on the 14th February 2017, Stagecoach are offering £1 single fares on any journey (or journeys made). Either book through megabus.com or pay the driver on the day. Can't believe that it has been around for a year already, seems only a few months ago...

On trying to navigate to the ABRail website, I've found that it appears to have been replaced with a domain holding page. Anyone know why?

06/01 So, time for my first trip report it seems... Earlier in the week I decided that I'd go out on a trip this weekend. I had no plans and didn't really fancy a weekend stuck at home. A quick search of rovers on the National Rail site led me to find the Heart of England 3 in 7 rover...

Hopefully no-one has started any similar threads (I did have a quick search). The question is, what railway related goals do you have for 2017? I'd like to achieve the following, some of which I started last year: - Clear GWR's fleet. (Mainly requires the 165/166/387s now). - Travel on...

Not sure if this is the right place for this thread, was torn between here and General Discussion. I've been having issues with RailMiles recently, where if I try and enter in a journey that is over 24 hours ago, then it is failing to find the train. A couple of examples are: 14/09/2016...

Just wondering if anyone has used the Left Luggage facilities at London Paddington? If so, how did you find it in terms of waiting to drop off / collect your luggage, and general safety etc.

I know some people on here collect tickets. I've got the past years worth of train tickets that I no longer want, the vast majority of them in the Devon / Cornwall area. Anyone is more than welcome to them in exchange for the postage (no more than £5). If not I'll bin them. Lucas
