The South Western Main Line has well and truly gone down the toilet, due to 'a fire on property near the railway' with delays of over 100 minutes. Not great as ive got a Red Jet in Southampton to catch at some point tonight!

Hey One of the best (from a personal POV!) railway resources on the web seems to of dissapeared without much fanfare. When trying to access the site it comes up with the Error 404 message, does this mean its gone for good?

Hey guys, Currently planning a trip to the West Country for the bank holiday weekend coming up. Im aware timings being released on RTT are somewhat hard to come by for raitours (sometimes up to just 24 hours bfore the railtour is due to depart), but with all that said: Does anyone know the...

Hey Im visiting the new stations around Birmingham on Saturday. I was wondering, is a Birmingham Stns to Wolverhampton Off Peak Day Return valid on both the new route via Darlaston as well as the old route via Sandwell & Dudley?

Hi guys I am exploring the West Highland Line this September and have purchased the excellent value Highland Rover.

So ive had a 16-25 Railcard for the last couple of years and have recieved an email to get it renewed (im oficially getting old ;) ) When signing into my account and selecting the 26-30 railcard the only option is to get a digital copy. Have all plastic railcards been discontinued?

So heres a mildly unintelligent question.... Booked on the West Somerset Express on 20th July on a standard class ticket. The only thing on the Steam Dreams website about food is the whole fine dining shebang, so are you expected to get your own food off the train? I've never done a mainline...
