Recently noticed over the last few days cross country trains running slow saline from St Denys to Northam Junction rather than continuing on the fast line through the level crossing with quite a slow turnout after St Denys station. I looked on open train times this morning and it seems all fast...

On Thursday 21st December I travelled from Southampton Central to Crewe on the 14:11 GWR to Newport arriving 16:36 (scheduled 16:30) and then the TfW 16:35 (departed 16:45) and arrived in Crewe 30 minutes late. I had three advanced tickets Southampton to Warminster, Warminster to Newport and...

Hi, I was planning on buying an off peak return to Crewe as it is the same price as to Stoke, but valid via Stoke too from Southampton. Would I then be able to alight at Kidsgrove or Alsager as that may be easier for me to get picked up from? (What would northerns view on the validity of the...

Hello I have a return portion of a Southampton to Crewe Off Peak Return valid NOT VIA LONDON. Also the journey must start at 0930 each day if I broke the journey - correct. I'd like some thoughts on using the routing guide maps since it's a mapped journey I could either use BJ and BW to travel...

On my daily exercise I saw 2H48 the 13:48 Crewe to Manchester Piccadilly formed of 2 323's (one refurbished and one un-refurbished going by the liveries) crossing Holmes Chapel viaduct - I couldn't make out the unit numbers. When I looked at the platform lengths for this line I'm sure 6 x 23m...

Hi, I've been looking at going from Holmes Chapel to Shrewsbury on before the new year and looked on brfares to check the off peak restrictions as I remembered Arriva introducing them. BRFares ( http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=HCH&dest=SHR&rte=1000&tkt=CDR) says that the off peak...

I'm hoping someone can explain a little further possible reasons for this. Last Thursday (21st) Arriva Trains Wales were putting some additional calls at Sandbach, Holmes Chapel and Alderley Edge to cover for the Northern strikes between Crewe and Manchester. The 10:05 Cardiff to Manchester...
