I received a notification that my train from Dorchester South is now departing 5 minutes earlier, with arrival at Waterloo unchanged. It turns out that from Monday 3rd to Friday 7th August departures are retimed in each direction. I can't see any reason for this, there are no engineering...

Emirates airlines has launched a rail booking portal, ostensibly to let members use points to pay. But they also sell tickets that earn points. It is an absolute car crash. Trains are listed as an hour later than the true departure (I tried Euston to Inverness, Georgemas Junction* to Inverness...

Just as an FYI I was double checking some times and get these screens: Have checked numerous other stations too.

I have a friend who needs to travel urgently as their father is seriously ill, but doesn't get paid till next week I remember years ago this happened to another friend and was able to get a ticket with a promise to pay form, but as I was suggesting this I couldn't find any evidence for it Did...

The government has launched a connectivity map covering England and Wales.

I was just randomly looking at easements affecting the Far North Line. Some make perfect sense, like: journeys to Wick may double back between Thurso and Georgemas Junction in either direction. Another is: customers travelling from Thurso to Wick may not travel via Scotscalder. The third...

I've booked a ticket from Dorchester South to London Waterloo, for travel in two weeks. I'd put a value on the cost of First Class on SWR's refurbished* Desiros at around £10-£20, depending on my mood. *they changed the seating from 2+1 to 2+2. And added contactless charging, so that's makes it...

Network Rail will be closing the Far North Line for three weeks in June 2026. One of the nicest times of year to travel that far north.

I did search but various search engines kept referring to the Two Together Railcard. I have to book a last minute trip and the balance on one card won't cover the entire journey. Apart from going to a rail station, is there a way to use two cards to pay for one journey?

After BCP Council.withdrew.funding for renewing the lifts (out of service for 40 years) the scheme is now going ahead. After years of setbacks, a railways station has finally received funding to have its lifts reinstalled. Pokesdown Station, near AFC Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium, has been...

A signalling problem between Dorchester South and Moreton is causing major problems this morning, with 7 trains cancelled between 0951 and 1213 (Dorchester South timings); others were cancelled earlier. The current estimate for resolving the issue is "before the start of service on Friday 27th...

I'm on the 1740 Euston Glasgow Central Avanti service. The one that is overtaken by the 1830 service. I have been absolutely blown away by how good the service has been, on a Seat Frog upgrade too. I have had two hot meals, numerous drinks and snacks and truly lovely staff. It is superior to...

Libertybus has announced the arrival of the first of 22 buses to replace some of the oldest vehicles in its fleet, as part of a £5 investment. Full story:

I'm trying to find out the earliest time I can access the station. I can see online ticket office opening hours etc. but just need to know if I can get in at around 0330hrs (arrive from Glasgow on an Ember coach at 0317hrs, connection north is at 0430hrs - have suddenly remembered Inverness...

I did search to see if this has been posted. Due to France's financial woes, funding for Paris Berlin and Paris Vienna sleepers has been axed. ÖBB (Austrian Railways) can't fund them on their own. Some Nightjet services suspended from mid-December after French withdrawal amid public budget...

I have logged in again to tell my tale of woe. The worst railway journey I have ever experienced. The Good - Caledonian Sleeper, ScotRail, Southern, Thameslink The Bad - South Western Railway The Ugly: Avanti West Coast 21 JULY 2025 SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY Due to what was described as “Code...

I heard on the news about severe delays this morning, and indeed a plethora of cancellations and delays. Different reasons are coming up - some I assume are linked ie: signalling problems, and lineside cabling, as well as power supply failure, but several mentioned the cancellation due to an...

I have purchased a Super Off Peak single from Dorchester South to Wick at £155.00. The routing is Dorchester - Waterloo, Euston - Edinburgh, Edinburgh - Inverness, Inverness - Wick. I have been allocated a seat on the Euston - Edinburgh sleeper (11A, following recommendations on this site!)...

Randomly checking ScotRail, just to keep tabs on them, and noticed this: 12:07 Glasgow Queen Street to Inverness due 15:29 will no longer call at Dunkeld & Birnam. This is because of a short-notice change to the timetable. The train left Glasgow Queen Street at 1210 but has made up time. The...
