Where abouts are we with this project? My understanding is that Llandudno-Chester (and Blaenau branch) are to be done mid-late 2014. Presumably preparatory work is well underway. Haven't been over in Wales since August so can't comment on visual observations. Apologies if this is been...

Very simple question really; London-Southampton fares on the morning of Saturday May 25th are showing at £37+, e.g. the 10:05 ex Waterloo, yet to go further Brockenhurst on the same train is £10. Why???

Lots of tours cancelled - why?

Need an e-mail or contact number for Virgin lost property (if it exists). Realistically do I stand a chance of been re-united with them? They're not particularly expensive or special, I don't even wear them full time, but it's just the hassle of not having them when needed. I know the...

Sunday April 8th. Anybody know if any drags taking place? The 10:55 ex Glasgow-Preston and 16:00 return, both via Dumfries could be candidates From Virgin Website: The West Coast Replacement Shuttle will operate an hourly service in both directions, between London Euston and Nuneaton, via the...

Would anybody remember the headcodes for this tour? It was 07:06 Paddington-Portsmouth Harbour and 15.xx Portsmouth Harbour-Waterloo on Oct 22nd. Also, the return departure time off Portsmouth Harbour please. Updating moves and have misplaced the railtour brochure. Thanks

These types here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/routemaster_rml2323/4152977794/ I know they are all long retired from frontline service but what about preserved or tour buses etc? I used to love the noise of these, I remember the distinctive gear change.

old update thread locked (must lock automatically if no posts after a certain amount of time?), so starting a new one here. 19th & 20th February 2008: Twice to Galway 087 to Galway and back, before returning West for a second time later the same day behind 083 on the 17:50 ex Heuston. On...

So Monday 26th & Tuesday 27th are bank holidays, but the remainder of that week is a weekday service, albeit reduced in some cases. Chiltern: have a reduced weekday service these days, are any of these Silver Trains (i.e. 67s)? The pdf timetable for those dates on the site just has headcodes...

This caught my eye: Please note that Network Rail have informed us that this mini-tour will now head for Perth instead of Dundee. This is due to having to double-head the main tour on the outward leg from Worcester Shrub Hill which will prevent the tour from using the Tay Bridge as planned. The...

From a reliable source: "The Office of Rail Regulator has served an improvement notice on WCRC over driver management issues, including route knowledge", (or lack of)... Interesting.

What are the major projects / blockades taking place this year?

http://www.spitfirerailtours.co.uk/Future%20tours2.htm#Yuletide%20York St Pancras-York-Scarborough East Midland Trains' HSTs are really getting around on charters this year. Not my thing personally but has the recipe to be a very popular one for the normals, a merrymaker style trip - cheap...

Now going to Oban, I believe that Network Rail could only offer a 02:20 or there abouts start from Crewe if they wanted to go to Fort William. Never the less, it'll still be a long day, departing Crewe 04:20, returning 00:39 I must say that I always thought that Crewe-Fort William and...
