Hi, Earlier tonight I purchased some train tickets using the TrainSpit iOS app. I paid using MasterCard but used a virtual card, that, although tied to my bank account isn't an actual plastic card. I only realised after paying that the TVM wants the card I paid with for collection. What are...

Hi, I was at Preston yesterday waiting for a train and noticed a 331 on the opposite platform with one of the the BIL/hazard lights flashing in coach A (opposite side from the the platform it was using). All the other hazard lights on that side of the train were steady on. The train departed...

Hi, I always under stood that multiple unit numbers under TOPS were defined thus: 1xx DMU 2xx DEMU 3xx AC or dual voltage EMU 4xx DC EMU 9xx Departmental Is the above correct? Also why are some DC units numbered 5xx? And 7xx is another odd one? Some bran new units are being given 7xx such...

Chester station has apparently been evacuated tonight. https://twitter.com/nationalrailenq/status/1238923827628969987?s=21 I had a look on http://www.opentraintimes.com to see whats in and there’s something labelled “DMIC” on 4b, don’t know if that’s anything to do with it?

Hi, What do you put in the origin and destination boxes on the national rail season ticket calculator page to get prices for London Travelcards please? Thanks.

Mod Note: Posts #1 - #21 originally in this thread. I beg to differ. I did just that to excess away from Southern/LNWR only to Any permitted. MESSAGE ENDS Saperstein.

Hi, Got a trip booked with TPE in March. 1212 on a Tuesday. LIV - GLC. Are there still any 350s on this route or will it be one of the Nova trains? Thanks Saperstein.

Sorry if this has already been posted or there is another thread going but I had a look and found nowt. I noticed tonight an update for the Northern App which surprised me as usually who ever takes over starts afresh as in EMT to EMR, Virgin to Avanti ect but maybe this is different because...

Hi, I had a journey delayed into Chester yesterday with TfW due to the train running slow and stopping at at least 4 signals and being held at one for a good 8 minutes (FJ10). 16 minutes late arriving at Chester so I duly put in a claim for Delay Repay as is my right. Lo and behold this...

I normally use: https://railuk.info/diesel/unit_search.php But it doesn’t have the one I’m currently looking for so does anybody know what unit carriage 42369 belongs to? Thanks Saperstein.

At Moorefields 3 up and 1 down to street level from the Wirral line platforms. Any more at other stations? Saperstein. Edit: Im talking about most escalators from platform to street, or vice versa. Not total number of escalators at a given station.

This is the reason for delay being given by Greater Anglia on Twitter tonight on several services, including: https://twitter.com/greateranglia/status/1227700457403027461?s=21 That’s a new excuse. What would actually cause this? A SPAD or similar? Saperstein.

Hi, Does anyone know if you can use Rail Travel Vouchers in Northern Ireland? Thanks Saperstein.

Following on from the ticket fraud thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/man-claims-£40-000-of-train-refunds-without-paying-for-a-single-journey.199886/page-2#post-4424672 I thought I’ve have a go at this. What’s the most complicated / expensive ticket anyone’s bought on-board under...

From: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/man-claims-40000-train-refunds-17700433 I’m not sure I understand what this guy was up-to here. When I first read it I thought it must be some kind of delay repay fraud as has happened in the past but then the article talks of him...

Hi, I’m sure I remember reading a while back about a Northern service that ran with Scotrail stock/Northern crew (or some variation thereof) from Newcastle to Glasgow via Carlisle. Did such a service ever exist or does it now? Couldn't find anything on the search engine (no pun intended!)...

Hi, This RHTT passed Liverpool Central on the Hunts X platform at 1742 today. I couldn’t see it on RTT and wondered what working it was. Also what sort of Railhead treatment these actually do? Obviously not cold enough for de-icing so what else? Thanks Saperstein

Travelling towards Liverpool today on the Merseyrail Northern Line I noticed a second pair of tracks on the left hand side in the direction of travel just after Bootle Oriel Road. They were not electrified and I wondered if any one knew what they were? They disappeared into a tunnel just...

Hi, I am looking at a journey for tomorrow (Sunday 2nd February). Southport (SOP) to Chester (CTR) and back. I am aware of engineering work closing the line between Hooton (Hoo) and CTR so I thought I’d try going via Liverpool South Park Way (LPY) and the TfW train. I have tried to get...
