Hi All, Been a very long time since I've posted in this section. Apologies for what may be a simple question, since I seldom travel by train nowadays and my knowledge on fares etc. is not what it was! I need to make a journey from a London Underground Station in Zone 4 to Tunbridge Wells...

First thread in I think years! I've been a bit out the loop in terms of railway news etc. After approximately 2 years, I travelled on a Virgin Super Voyager from Chester to London this weekend. This was a trip I used to make fortnightly for a while until late 2014. Usually I used to park...

I have just received an RTV back which I recently claimed for, except it was for a lot more than I am entitled to. I am certainly not complaining about that (;)) but my question is, do they actually check the train you claim for and how long it was delayed for? In my case, I have received...

This advice is for a friend and not myself, fortunately for me I have sense to pay a £0.90 fare to avoid these type of situations. To make it easier I will put each sentence into a paragraph. Basically, this guy was caught without a ticket by a Merseyrail RPI at Rock Ferry and as given a...

Hi guys, I was just wondering if it's possible, if I held a child ticket to somewhere, to then go and excess that ticket to a 1 child and 1 adult F&F discounted ticket. Basically, I hold a child SDR from Capenhurst-Altrincham and have paid £6.60 for it. I may have an adult coming with me...

I guess a few of us will be on the loco-hauled services put on for the Tour de France. Me and Class92 will be in attendance on the 06:22 LIV-LDS then the 11:15 to Harrogate and the same train back towards Leeds. We will then be on the 18:08 LDS-LIV. This will be this Saturday which is...

I have just had a very near disaster using a power tool, which involved a few broken fingers and a very bruised hand. The point I am trying to make is, always wear your PPE when working with machines and/or power tools. If I hadn't have been wearing the gloves and goggles, I wouldn't have...

Hi guys, How long would it take from Greenwich DLR to Woolwich Arsenal NR via Canary Wharf, Emirates Air line, Royal Victoria and Canning Town? Cheers.

Hola. I'm not quite sure where this should go tbh Basically, I am wondering where I could get a section of rail that's about 50 cm long for use as an anvil in my metal workshop. Is there any way legally that this is possible or is it a big no-no? Cheers all

I've tried to register with SimSig and it wouldn't let me as apparently, according to their details, I am a spammer. :roll: Has this happened to anybody else, is it normal? I have never registered with SimSig before so I don't know how they can brand me as a 'Spammer'. :roll:

Here's to a happy new year, may it be a good one! Just something to add, 2013 summed up:

Hello again. I am not very good at this sort of thing and was wondering what is the best way to renew my Microsoft programs. Basically, I had the Office 2010 since, well, 2010 and I needed Publisher for my schoolwork. I used a product key that I found on the internet and it worked, but the...

Hi guys, I have been working on an excel spreadsheet that I will use to record my rail mileage and haulages etc. It will also include statistics and had the ability to record all loco haulages, aircraft haulages and log railtours. It's nearing completion but I have stumbled across a...

Probably a silly question, but will a ticket to Glasgow Cen/Qst be retained by barriers at Glasgow Central? A friend told me it's valid on the SPT subway but the barriers retain the such tickets, and I want to use the subway (if it's of course valid). It's not really worth me getting a...

How could I get through to somebody that thetrainline is never cheaper? I've tried comparing, but they still don't believe me, so I need solid proof.

Hello again, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. This thread may sound a little confusing but if not obvious to some people, but hey there's no such thing as a stupid question. Basically I need to head to London on Friday the 15th November and come back again on Sunday the 17th. The adult already...

Hi folks, I was wondering if I purchased a Child Ellesmere Port-Warrington Anytime Day Return with the route 'Any-Permitted', could I use this to travel from Warrington to Crewe then to Chester then break my journey at Capenhurst? I had a look on trainscanbecheaper but I find it a little...

Well there isn't a thread for this but there is for other interests so.... Well it's what it says on the tin, who else out there is interested in fishing? Do you freshwater fish or sea fish? What's your best catch? Share techniques and baits etc! Personally, I have been a fisherman for...

Hi Yesterday my dad and brother went on a journey from a station where you had to buy onboard the train and then rather being issued with a ticket each person for each leg, they were given 1 ticket for each leg with the number of pax as 1 adult and 1 child. Is this an optional thing done...

Hi all, I have looked everywhere for this including past threads and Google search but nothing has come up. I was issued with a "Free Cycle Inward" Supplement from Eastham Rake yesterday after asking for a cycle and seat reservation. The guy didn't have a clue to start with and made lots...
