Moderator note - split from: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/lumo-running-train-with-no-toilets.305567/ About 20 years ago I was in New Zealand on the train from Auckland to Wellington, somewhere a party of school children, possibly heading to/from a rugby tournament, boarded the train...

Great video, really enjoyed this - very jealous!

Never been bombarded with so many insects and leaves flying through the windows, none of them even shut fully on the 156. Need to keep my mouth closed.

I'm defining a day as the 0400-0359, i.e a day return validity. Rail only, no disruption into the next day. Add any other land sea based journeys for a bonus.

Maybe I'm being daft but how does one the determine the direction of travel of the train? Don't want to say facing backwards for hours! (Image shows DB seat plan)

I’m planning an in interrail trip in July and any advice/tips would be much appreciated :) I have a rough idea of route/things to see but it is quite rough. I’m wish to set off Friday 10th July and return Sunday 26th July. I’m happiest sitting on a train enjoying the scenery rather than...

I have to assist my computer-illiterate Uncle in scanning has large collection of mostly railway photographs and I'm looking for advice. Although I've been a software engineer for over 25 years I've never once had reason to use a scanner! He has an iMac and a scanner. The photographs are mixture...

Me and my mates experienced this delay which I mentioned here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/wcml-disruption-preston.301744/ resulting in us getting back to Brighton at gone 4 in the morning :( I wish to claim DR from AWC for all five of us - can I do this all in one claim? This slightly...

On 1M18 home currently sat at Preston any idea what’s happening?

I'm planning a trip on the Far North line in the first week of August, catching 1041 from INV and returning on the 1600/1632. Am I better off alighting in Thurso for 2 hours or Wick for 1 hour? I wouldn't really need to do much just, stretch my legs, grab a sandwich from a shop and maybe a pint...

Is it possible to exit the station via this to provide a quicker route to St Pancras (Thameslink platforms)? I'm on the 1E28 1900 EDB to KGX (coach B) https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:Y11866/2026-04-04/detailed and would ideally like to catch the 2354 to Brighton - any chance of an...

Does anyone have a vector graphics of HST power car from a side-on view? Something like this but in svg format?

I can't seem find to find any advance fares from Preston Park (or Brighton) to St Pancras. The dates I'm looking at are the 7th of Jan returning on the 8th. Searching further into the future or in December doesn't seem to find any either on a weekday. Am I reading BR Fares correctly that these...

I will be in Portugal on Thursday and was wondering what's doable in a day from Lisbon (my flight back is at 20:50 so need to be at the airport in time for that). I've already done the tram on a previous visit and that doesn't take that long anyway. I was thinking the National Railway Museum at...

Is it possible to do this in a day from Inverness/Glasgow? The other way round is fine as well. Would be looking at the first week of August.

It's almost time for me to renew my annual season ticket, I usually get a paper one but was thinking of buying from the LNER website to avail myself of the AMEX Cashback. However there doesn't seem to be an option to add a PlusBus ticket :( Would I be able to buy this separately from Brighton...

I'm planning a trip to this on the 29th of June (me and 2 children) looking to catch the train from PRP (or maybe a bus to BTN first) to PMS. I have an annual gold card. Additionally there will be another Adult and child (with F&F railcard) coming from TBD joining us en route somewhere. What is...

I wanted to be a train driver at one stage but was told it wasn't possible due to me wearing glasses for shortsightedness, this would have been mid-to-late 80s. I'm pretty sure this isn't the case now as I've seen bespectacled drivers and none of the job adverts on here appear to mention it. Was...

I often by tickets for a large group of tickets for my mates and I for football awaydays. This season we (I) have switched from collecting paper tickets to etickets to save myself the hassle of collecting from the machine and then dealing them all out. The tickets I bought from TPE all came in...

I remember from my childhood two rusting steam engines sat in the Dyke Road Drive sidings circa 1986. Does anyone a recall what the locos where and what became of them? I have a vague recollection there was a standard tank and a Bulleid pacific although that could be well off the mark!
