    Hi, just thought it was worth bringing attention to the issue I've encountered whilst claiming for Delay Repay with a SeatFrog upgrade. I submitted a Delay Repay claim that was successful using my tickets and then separately submitted my SeatFrog upgrade via complaints (on the basis there was no...

    Hi, We are looking to do a trip from Riga to Tartu (Estonia). As part of this my understanding is that we need to change trains in Valga and this is fairly straight forward. I know they have recently redone the timetable to make connections better. We could take the 'international' service...

    What rolling stock would you order from Hitachi / Alstom

    Bit of nice speculation thread. If you had the power to order stock what you order and why. 1713684907 To kick us off, I’d probably look to extend a lot of LNER IEP’s by an extra coach to 10 and/or then extend some of the 5 coach sets to 9/10. I’d probably offer Lumo an nearly at cost deal to...

    ECML Diversions 2022

    I couldn't find an existing thread on this. There are diversions due 24th / 25th September and following weekends down the Tyne Valley. I can see LNER are willing to sell a anytime ticket. I presume this means the trains can be used between NCL and CAR and vice versa where shown in the booking...

    Does a HST regularly use a request stop?

    Currently on an inter7city set from Inverness and the thought occurred are there any stops regularly served by a HST that are a request stop? This can also be historic but I would generally exclude one offs though more than happy to hear about them. As an aside request stops have long been a...

    Trivia: Journeys where the route crosses over itself (on the same service)

    Curious as to how many instances of this there are in the UK. A couple of examples to get us started: T&W metro at monument where the 'yellow' route trains cross over oneanother. Ffestiniog railway at Ddaullt using the 'deviation'

    TPExpress 50% student ticket with 26-30 railcard

    Hi, I was just looking for thoughts on this. Currently, on the TPE website it is possible to get 50% off advance tickets with a 'student' discount. https://www.tpexpress.co.uk/special-offers/advance-bookings It states that this is for people holding the 16-25 railcard. I am one of those...

    Strange Signals on Tyne Valley Line (contains large images)

    Just to the east of Haltwhistle station there is a small loop and siding. In this loop there is a series of closely spacing signals around 100m apart. I believe they are ‘humping’ signals but this does not make any sense to me as there is no freight hump but is simply a passing loop. If anyone...
