Hi all. Just wanted to see if anyone had a track diagram for the Heathrow Central area before the T5 extension was built? Something similar to what is currently found on Carto Metro would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I have been trying to understand why on the Line 10 of the Madrid Metro, if one wants to travel past Tres Olivos, they must change trains here. I remember seeing the 'Change of train' symbol on the maps when visiting the city in 2008, and just stumbled on it again. A video on YouTube...

Hello, I often take the TL from BFR to WIM. For a while, an incredibly annoying thing that I've realised is the very slow speed trains run at between Blackfriars and Streatham, particularly around Lougborough Junction, Herne Hill & Tulse Hill Just out of interest, what is the reason for this...

Having travelled on these units a few times during the Christmas holiday, I was wondering whether the DVA is intentionally set up to simply announce the name of the station as soon as the doors open. For example, when the doors opened today at Clapham Junction, the DVA says "Clapham Junction...

Dear all, Could use some quick advice here! I need to travel from CLJ [Clapham Junction] to PMS [Portsmouth & Southsea] on Friday afternoon, specifically getting the 1516 SN service PMS-CLJ. I have a YPR. I am on thetrainline.com and it is coming up with a First Advance Single as £9.90 whereas...

Hi everyone, I (very unexpectedly) have just been issued a penalty fare for fare evasion by a member of staff at Wimbledon. I am slightly perplexed as to why I have been charged but I'll give you the details. The whole journey was done on Oyster. Overall journey: Waterloo NR to Southfields...

During the time that both TOCs refurbished these trains, SWT modified theirs so that the doors would open wider and there would be more room for boarding and alighting, whereas Southern did not do this. The other day I was on a SN 455 (which I have not been on for many years) and noticed how...

Is there a PDF of the track layout at this station? I'd like to know how SWT services reverse here.

Going to Leeds Open Day on 22nd June. Need to get there around 10/11am. Can depart around 15:00. Out of the three I am the only one with a YPR. The prices I am finding at the moment are quite high. Any help would be appreciated to try and lower the cost i.e. changes and splitting...

Short and simple query- Why is there a 20mph TSR at Wimbledon in the Waterloo direction?

Would anyone be able to tell me: 1) What unit was coupled to 450073 on 2L63 London Waterloo - Basingstoke 2) What unit was coupled to 450105 on 2G62 Guildford - London Waterloo 3) What unit was coupled to 450037 passing Wimbledon at around 19:53 for London Waterloo Thanks.

There is a discussion going on about the service pattern for Crossrail once it begins. Someone mentioned that the detrainment process at Paddington will have to be quite fast and efficient to accommodate the number of trains terminating there per hour. This got me thinking what the track...

Is there a reason that the Class 450's that operate on the suburban routes out of Waterloo (Windsor/Hounslow/Weybridge/Twickenham etc) are predominantly allocated to those lines and not on the lines to Dorking/Guildford v Cobham & Epsom/Shepperton/Hampton Court/Chessington? In other words...

Not sure if this is in the right thread. Yesterday I travelled from Paddington to Heathrow Central on a HEx train. Unfortunately when I tried connecting to the free WiFi on my iPhone, it just didn't seem to work. The phone showed up as being connected to the 'expresswifi' network, however...

Sorry if this has all been mentioned before. How many Class 150 units did London Midland have, and how many are going to FGW and how many to Northern? Oh, and what are the numbers of the units? Thanks.

Hi everyone, just joined the forum :). Was wondering how people manage to obtain headcodes for trains. Is there a national database that tells the headcode of every service? Thanks
