Has anyone experienced the above error on SWR TVMs whilst topping up an Oyster card with a Chase Debit card on Google Pay? Ive reported it to SWR but it seems weird as its just a debit mastercard.

I'm starting a new commute from Streatham Hill (SRH) to Kingston (KNG) via Clapham Junction (CLJ). SRH to KNG is zone 3 to 6, but I would change at CLJ zone 2. If I were to buy a travelcard, would a z3 to z6 suffice (if it exists), or would I need a z2 to z6 please? For context, I'd be...

Hello all, I have an upcoming assessment and interview day for a Train Planning Support role with SWR. Does anyone know what the day consists of, along with what questions they would ask in the interview please?

Hello, I have an advance from Dewsbury to Euston for later today, but now need to come back earlier. I booked with Trainsplit originally. Is it possible to excess this at a ticket office to a super-off peak, or is it best to rebook and refund on Trainsplit please?

I would be looking for advice for anyone who's familiar with London season tickets, specifically through the likes of Clarity Travel. I have moved near to Streatham Hill, and would be commuting to Oxford Circus roughly 5 days a week. I have an Oyster card with a railcard, and have worked out...

As a commuter on the line, I'm concerned to see the amount of delays stacking up over the past few days. This time of year will always cause adhesion issues, but coupled with the single lines past Knaresborough, the timetable has fallen apart twice already this week, with trains skipping the...

Next to Leeds West Junction, there's 10-20 red wagons, possibly coal hoppers, that have been extant for at least a year. I've never seen a train arrive or depart from that yard. Does anyone know what the yard is called, and if the wagons are officially withdrawn please?

Posting as I could only find a thread from 2018 on this forum about this topic. After just a month, my plastic season ticket photocard has faded such that the photo is nearly gone. It was bought through my employer's corporate travel agent (if that matters). Would Leeds be able to replace it...

I booked to travel from Manchester Airport to Burley Park on split tickets - an advance from Manchester Airport to Leeds (as I get 50% off with my railcard if I book directly with them, as opposed to the usual 33%), and a single from Leeds to Burley Park. The train from Manchester Airport was...

I'm travelling this evening on a North East 4-in-8 Rover with a 16-25 Railcard (£84.50), from York to Berwick-upon-Tweed. The 18:57 got into Berwick 40 late. On claiming, LNER are saying I could be paid £4.xx (I can't remember the exact amount). Is such a punitive amount correct?

How often does the Harrogate line get the likes of the NMT or the Class 950? We were treated last winter to DRS Class 37s in the winter on the RHTT, but since then, I've not noticed much interesting.

Similar to Scotrail, it seems TfW are trialling request stop buttons. I'm not sure of their implementation as it's not on a line with in-cab signaling (indeed it's a line with semaphores). Does anyone know how they're going to be implemented? Source...

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L41303/2024-06-28/detailed#allox_id=0 This train today apparently travelled between Llandudno Junction and Llandudno in 3 minutes. Travelling 3mi27ch, that's an average speed of 66.8mph. Is someone fudging the numbers here? I can understand gaining...

Just bought a ticket from Burley Park to see it's been converted to white paper. It's not even got the orange bars like you have when you buy on a train or from Avanti. Is this a trial as I got a traditional ticket from here just last month. A photo is attached below of the new type (with a...

On my recent North West Rover, I went past about five or six MK3 coaches that used to belong to EMT/EMR just south of Carlisle. Does anyone know what they're doing there, what the plans are for them, and who owns them please? Thanks

As the title suggests, I'm looking for scenic journeys from Oslo, perhaps with a circular walk. Happy to do a bit of hill-climbing, although I'm not too sure how far I'll be able to go with it being (presumably) snowy there. Apart from the Bergen line which I'm already aware of, does anyone have...

I now find myself living slap bang next to the Harrogate Line, and I'm presuming these are the paths for the RHTT when we get deep into Autumn: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H31611/2023-09-29/detailed https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H31613/2023-09-29/detailed...

I'm looking to use SailRail for the first time, outward booking a single from Leeds to Dublin Belfast via Ayr, and on the return Rosslare to Leeds via Fishguard. I'll collect both tickets in Leeds before travelling as I understand I can't collect the tickets in Ireland, spend a day or two in...

I intended to take the following journey on 27/04: 12:46 Avanti Holyhead to Crewe arriving 14:52 15:10 Avanti Crewe to Manchester Piccadilly arriving 15:44 15:58 TPE Manchester Piccadilly to Leeds arriving 17:10. The 15:58 TPE was cancelled, quelle surprise. I got the 16:30 which arrived at...

Hi all, I’m approaching the grand old age of 24. It’s my understanding that this is the last time I can buy a three-year 16-25 railcard, which will last me until just before I’m 27, which is beneficial as it has better terms than the 26-30. Is that all correct please? And I presume even though...
