Currently planning my next train trip round Europe with a pint at the Betjeman and had the very brief and vanishingly rare sight of three 373s in front of me. I know this may be an unanswerable question, but does anyone know when the last time there were 6 of these filling the platforms rather...

So I am currently on a journey via London that is 28 minutes delayed on the inbound, and having 90 minutes to think about it I had a few speculative questions... feel free to ignore any silly ones... If I am delayed on the way to a connection and could make up the time by running, should I run...

Apologies if this is posted elsewhere, feel free to merge, I didn't want to drag the EMR refurb thread too far off topic. What's the best advice for getting home this evening? What's the best way to convince whomever I need to to order a taxi? I am currently on LNWR to St Alban's Abbey via...

My standard Google search when heading out is "realtimetrains <stationcode/stationname>" and the first link invariably brings me to the detailed view for that station for departures now. When I notice disruption en-route my Google search is "opentraintimes <stationname>" to produce a map of the...

My memory may be failing me, but seem I remember reading something a while back that implied that Thameslink tickets from the MML to London Bridge were also valid for travel via West Hampstead to London Bridge on the underground. Was I mistaken or correct? And if correct, is this still the...

(hopefully) Hypothetical one here: If between the purchase of a ticket and it's expiration/validity date, the restrictions listed for the code on the ticket are changed, what happens?

I know that there have been many threads like this in the past, and I know that up to now good/daring runners were able to make it in a calendar day with a dash through Glasgow, but from the 15th of December it seems it should be slightly easier: 05:03 PNZ-PAD 09:54 09:54 PAD-KGX 10:30 10:30...

So this evening at Farringdon I put my picket into an open barrier and it swallowed all but 3mm of it. Unable to reach the 3mm I called the attendant over, who promptly chastised me for inserting my card into a barrier that took it most of the way because apparently the tiny digital display...

Just arrived on the Corby about 12:20 today, and there was a train sticking out of platform 3 a long way. 5 car train at the south end, then another 10 cars to the north of it, not coupled up to it. Also a much larger than usual queue of people for that time of day. Looks like 5F37 had just...

So, today I had occasion to travel from Luton to Carpenders Park return (Saturday) I chose to do so with an off peak travelcard so that I would have the flexibility to take buses while I was in London, and have a choice of routes outbound and return (as long as at least one direction was not...

Yes, it's another one of these threads... I know these types questions have been asked time and again, but I can't seem to find a specific answer. (Outbound portion of return here in question, final destination Nuneaton) 9I states no travel on trains departing STP before 10:26. It also states...

Ok I will admit, the last time I went to Canary Wharf I was drunk as a skunk and spent half an hour+ looking for the entrance to the Elizabeth Line station. Today though I was sober. I got off the Jubilee line and the only Elizabeth line sign I saw was a whiteboard with an arrow saying 350m...

Why would/do services to tonbridge that don't stop at Redhill go via platform 3 rather than staying on the fast line? Is it a strange lack of route knowledge, an interlocking issue, laziness from the signallers, or otherwise?

I had a guard on the southeastern diversion pre-empt the "next station is..." announcement by using good grammar. Very pleasant surprise. When did the automated announcements forget grammar, or did they never learn?

I had occasion to travel on an off peak return from Luton to Manchester today and the ticket was "Valid only via London" with restriction code 9I also applied. £114.70. I have always assumed that I able equally able to travel via the MML + WCML or MML + pennines. I have based this on MAN-SHE +...
