    TVM Down and Can't Collect Tickets

    I went to my local station just now to collect some tickets to find it completely in the dark, all lighting, the TVM and PIS screens blank. Very localised power cut. I am on an early train tomorrow morning, and by the time I've got to Leeds (where the connection does give me time to collect...

    DB through tickets onto TGVs

    It appears DB do through tickets onto TGVs, as most itineraries I search allow through tickets from Gengenbach to Paris via a change in Karlsruhe. However the early morning (Sunday 15th March) connection into the Freiburg TGV, changing at Offenburg and making it much quicker doesn't have this...

    Deterring Cats from Garden

    So I have an ongoing war with one of the neighbourhood cats. Not only does it crap in the garden all the time but it has learnt to sit in a spot in the shrubs and tree and catch birds. I have just watched it do so again. Has anyone had any success in deterring Cats from their garden? So far...

    Routing Question - Chapeltown to York

    Hi Folks, I am trying to work something out for my parents. Most websites seem to show that the £15.95 Off Peak Day Return (this is with a senior railcard) is NOT valid via Leeds, which I am slightly confused by as it always used to be. Rail Staff Travel site shows that it is valid and would...

    Czech Carriages north of Hamburg

    I am on a train from Hamburg to Copenhagen and twice now we have been passed by a full set of Czech carriages. I've googled for a while and cannot work out where they have come from. First set was just north of Hamburg so assumed coming off a depot for a service to Prague. The second was...

    York to Woodlesford

    So, I have been looking at trying to use the new service via castleford to and from work. It doesn't show the option in national rail journey planner unless you force it to to go via Castleford, even though it's quicker at times than via Leeds. It also shows no ticket options. If I was to...

    Sorry to add to the multitude of enquiries about the DB website recently! I have made an error and booked a Super Sparpreis ticket from Prague to Frankfurt via Regensburg with a reservation in the Ruhebereich, which I understand to be the quiet carriage.

    Rail Staff Travel (RST) online Avoid/Barred

    Hi folks, Just got access to RST online for booking leisure tickets and I have scoured the FAQs but not found anything. Why do some services for what appears to be no reason say barred or avoid? It doesn't give any information as to why they are. Seems specific to cross country off peak...

    Connections on seperate advance tickets

    I am assuming there is no protection at all for missing connections say between LNER and Eurostar or between Eurostar and TGV trains in Paris. Choosing between point to point tickets and interrail and point to point is cheaper but obviously interrail gives more flexibility when missing...
