Hi, My daughter's travelling to Tenby, on the 1127 Manchester to Carmarthen, where her onward connection to Tenby is cancelled. I've tried to contact TfW by phone, Messenger and WhatsApp, but no response (phone line claims they are closed). I want to find out if an RRB is being provided before I...

I'm planning a work trip to London for 6-8 of us. I was thinking of driving to Luton Airport Parkway and taking TL from there. We'll probably arrive at Luton around 10:30am: can anyone with experience with the carpark tell me if it's likely to be full by then? I've looked at pre-booking but that...

A colleague and I are going to Coventry for a couple of days in July. He lives in Mirfield and I'm in Batley. I've determined that splitting at Derby is sensible and we want flexible tickets. We can travel off peak. Just looking at the home to Derby leg, the MIR-DBY off peak return, route Via...

I was shopping for basics a few days ago, so it was the 3rd or 4th 'day of Christmas'. Other than the 'discount' shelves, there was no sign that it is still the Christmas season. No decorations, lights, music; nothing festive at all. We spend ages preparing for Christmas but then seem to want...

Getting some confusing results for fares between Penally and Huddersfield for my mother. When travelling via Shrewsbury, I would expect the fare to be £122.20, as set by TfW. I want flexible tickets, just in case, and looking for non-split. I'm using the forum ticket engine (set to flexible...

I've noticed a common theme in many of the threads in the Disputes & Prosecutions forum: that our forum experts often suggest tweaks to the English used in responses and requests for information, even down to replacing 'American-izations'. This got me wondering if people with lower levels of...

Heard a trailer to this programme to be broadcast on Radio 4, Monday 29th May at 8pm, and subsequently on BBC Sounds. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001mc65 May be of interest to some forum members.

My Mum has tickets - bought through the RailUK site - to travel from Penally to Huddersfield on Thurs 15th Dec. The itinerary on her ticket is to leave PNA at 07:24 and arrive at HUD at 15:08. It is looking like the 07:24 train is cancelled so the next one is at 09:34 arriving at 17:08...

Wondering what the situation is with flexi seasons and cancellations leading to abandoned journeys. I have one ticket left on my TPE flexi season which I was planning to use today. While eating my breakfast I have spotted that the next two trains from Dewsbury to Huddersfield are cancelled...

Just thought I'd post this YouTube video I've just watched. It's only a few minutes long and gives an interesting, brief insight into the challenges of rockfall detection. There's some stunning drone footage even if the technicalities aren't of interest.

Inspired by the thread about using the train instead of the car, I'm looking at using to the train to visit my Mum in Tenby (TEN) next month. Cost is very reasonable with advances and timing not too bad. It used to be that the service from Manchester was 2 hourly, with a decent connection at...

I had a day trip out with my family yesterday (just Batley to Hebden Bridge) - 2 adults and 2 children, no railcard. I bought them on Trainsplit and had the PDF tickets on my phone. It seemed a bit of a faff having to open each ticket individually to be scanned by the guard. I recall that it...

I've been planning a journey from Coventry (COV) to Weybridge (WYB) on Friday 3rd September. COV 0732, change London, arr WYB 0957. WYB 1712, change London, arr COV 1942. National Rail gives a flexible return price of £64.10 which seems pretty reasonable to me. I went to Avanti to book as they...

Sorry if this is already mentioned elsewhere but I did search first. From The Yorkshire Post a few days ago (title is link to article): Wensleydale Railway reveal plans for their new Pacers - including bike trains and James Herriot tours

I'm in Tenby with my parents and we fancied a curry. I tried Just-Eat which came up with no results at all for any kind of food. Same for UberEats (and Uber itself). Obviously Tenby's only a small town (c.5k in the winter) but it got me wondering: what is the largest town in the UK that has no...

Just hoping someone on here can give me an idea of what time the carpark at Wakefield Kirkgate is likely to become full on a weekday. Thanks in advance.

Renewing my F&F railcard, which has my wife and I both named on the card. I've spotted that it can now be delivered digitally and stored on 2 smartphones. This makes a scenario possible and I want to make sure this is OK to do. My wife and son are travelling to Manchester Airport on a Friday...

Thought some forum readers might be interested in these news stories that appeared this week from the University of Huddersfield relating to the Institute of Railway Research. New £3.5m test rig for pantograph research £4.5m test rig puts new two-axle rail vehicle through its paces...

Hi, Staying in London (Sidcup) for a few days with our children (12 and 8). We don't have Oyster or any of the child zip products but do have F&F Railcard. Tomorrow we want to travel by bus to Bromley at around 8:45am to meet friends then from Bromley to London by train and tube in the morning...

Just spotted this at Huddersfield. Apparently the cancelled 1650 service has 3 carriages... The top row shows the service with the departure time replaced with 'cancelled'. The 2nd row has the calling points scrolling, followed by 'This train has 3 carriages' Any other examples of contradictory...
