Basically, as it says above, It seems more and more people are turing to the railway in a desperate plea to end their lives. Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot more incidents like this recently? I recall just over the last 48 hours there have been 4 attempts in the Great Western...

So, I would like to basically make a thread about all of the different TOC loyalty reward schemes that are out there. As far as I am aware the best one is the East Coast Rewards system, when you buy tickets through their own website. You can then exchange those points for free travel with...

Is there any news or updates regarding First Great Western getting Wi-Fi on their HST sets? It just seems a no brainer that they should have installed it years ago, considering the route they serve.
