This topic is for the discussion of the Karlsruhe model of public transport systems - basically trams and trains all combined into one (tram-train). We know how successful tram trains have been in Karlsruhe, as shown here: https://www.railway-technology.com/projects/karlsruhe/ (the Albtalbahn...

Does anyone happen to know the differences between a class 158 and a class 159? They all look exactly the same to me!

I will be doing a lot of trips to Devon in July, and one day my plan is to get a 309/310 bus from Barnstaple to Lynton. I have 30 minutes until my next bus, which is the Exmoor Coaster towards Ilfracombe. During my 30 minutes in Lynton, I would like to ride the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway...

Again, a thread where @zwk500 and @Bald Rick might be of most interest seeing that you guys appear to be experts on these sort of things! Anyway let's begin. Just like the electrification thread I started a few weeks ago, I thought I would create this thread to talk about which railway lines in...

So as we know, Project Oval aims to allow contactless travel throughout South East England. Does this mean that Project Oval will be the SE England equivalent of NL's OV-Chipkaart/OV-Pay?

https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=SWI&dest=SWA&rlc=YNG&rte=645&tkt=CDR Restriction code W4 is as follows: "Not valid on trains timed to depart after 04:29 and before 08:44." However, it says that there's an easement from Swindon which allows travel from 08:20, which is as follows...

I am Italian (well half) and yet because I only go to Italy once or twice year, I don't tend to have the best knowledge on Italian train tickets (I'm far more of an expert on train types, companies and routes). So my question is as follows. I'm currently 21, so does Italy have an equivalent of...

So, I've now become such a madlad to the point I'm willing to do a daytrip to Scotland, Yorkshire or Cornwall by taking an overnight coach from either London Victoria or Gatwick Airport and sleeping onboard the coach. The places I plan on visiting include: Pembrokeshire (Wales) Glasgow...

This thread is for the discussion of which in your opinion would be the most profitable or having the best business case ratio / cost benefit analysis etc. lines in the UK to be electrified. So basically, which lines in your opinion is where the costs are the most worth it. Ultimately every...

Which of the towns served by the Excel bus route (Peterborough - Norwich) is the best one to stop for a visit? Wisbech King's Lynn Swaffham Dereham

Currently onboard 377418 from Gatwick Airport to Hastings. Before the train approached Wivelsfield, a ticket inspector came and started to check tickets. Of course I had a valid ticket as always so no problem. However, my ticket was checked when the train had stopped (and after the doors had...

Seeing it's rather long length (93 km!), spending a good 95% of its time in Wales and connecting important places like the capital Cardiff with other important Welsh towns like Abergavenny and Cwmbran, would you say the X3 should become a TrawsCymru branded route, and renumbered into a T route...

Planning another Oxford to Hereford journey* on Saturday 6 May 2023, but no advance singles are available (just the off peak single of £19.60**). Why? *I'm actually going to Aberystwyth, but I will be travelling by bus after Hereford, using route 461 to Llandrindod Wells then X47 to Aberystwyth...

A trip to Newcastle & surrounding areas is planned for late June, and the routes I plan to film are as follows Go North East Angel 21 (Newcastle - Durham) Go North East Fab 56 (Newcastle - Sunderland) Arriva Sapphire 22/22A (Durham - Sunderland) Stagecoach E1 (Sunderland - South Shields)...

A trip to Newcastle is planned for late June. My plan is to film full journeys of both the Green and Yellow Lines, and I would like to do it at the front (as the Metrocars only have half width cabs - allowing passengers to have a front view on the other half on the front). My question is, will...

On the LNER app, I've managed to find a rather amazing deal. An Advance Single (First Class) from London King's Cross to Peterborough for just about £18 (Standard Class is £11) and this will be on the 10:03 departure, meaning it will be on an Intercity 225! Is the extra price worth it? Is LNER...

I am curious to ask this question, regarding the Abbey Line (Watford Junction - St Albans) Does it currently work fine as a single track railway using 4-car 350s, or would you say the 350s are overkill for the route? If the latter, should the line be converted into a tram/light rail, maybe...

In relation to this thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/cheapest-fares-from-horsham-to-newcastle-where-to-split-etc.246341/ Do the 91/IC225s still run to Newcastle, and if yes, what are the chances of me being able to ride on one?

In May I plan on travelling from Burton upon Trent to Birmingham New Street on a late Saturday afternoon (about 17:00-18:00). My plan is to buy an Off Peak Single. As I would like to ride a class 323 before they get withdrawn, is it ok to divert my journey via Tamworth & Lichfield Trent Valley...
