Hi there, I bought a print@home ticket for East Coast from Durham to London. I could no longer make the day so sold the ticket to someone else in my university for the same price as I bought it. I now realise that the ticket says it is non-transferable and is only good for the named traveller...

Yesterday I bought a single from Durham to London for a Friday in about two months' time with a 16-25 railcard for 9.95, on the East Coast website. While not all the trains on that day were this cheap price, there quite a few, usually one an hour, right through the afternoon and evening. Today...

I'm sorry to ask for info that must be available elsewhere, especially given bandwidth constraints, but I'd like some info from people with experience of using European rail transport. I'm planning an interrail trip with some friends this summer, using the youth 5 days travel in a 10 day...

Great new feature on google maps which shows underground and bus routes when planning a journey: http://maps.google.co.uk/. All they need now is to link in national rail services and it'll be a brilliant tool :D

Is there a decent resource for checking timetables? I need to catch a train from Cambridge to King's Cross using FCC this Friday evening (1st July). I know it departs at 20:26, either from Cambridge or from Ely which is slightly further along the line. Could someone with knowledge of timetable...

Surely a bit embarrassing that there may be a point where Iraq has more high speed track than the UK: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-13909905 think it's ever going to happen?

I'm really sorry to be asking everyone about this topic which really has been discussed to death, but I'm writing an article in support of HS2 to appear next to an article attacking the proposals. What are the most general points that I could use to support its construction? I gather that...

Unfortunately, while I have a few locos that run well, I have a couple that only run in fits and starts when given a little push and at a high speed. I probably haven't shown them the most care and attention in the 5 years or so that i've owned them (bought new and worked fine), as they've been...

Clearly there's a lot of hype about the new rolling stock, longer trains and station redevelopment (esp. blackfriars) but does anyone have any information on exactly which routes are going to be added to Thameslink as part of the Thameslink Programme?

I realise that there's a historical precedent for terminal stations in London being outside central London, due to a 19th century act of parliament forcing them to not be in the centre. Does anyone know if there have ever been plans to link up some of the terminals to permit through traffic...

http://www.oliviercadic.com/emploi/eurotunnel-favorable-a-lidee-dun-metro-trans-manche/ So it looks like this idea (to link up Lille and Calais with Kent for commuter style services) is looked on favourably by Eurotunnel. Seems like a good thing,even though the French only seem to be pushing...

It seems that with the new Hitachi Super Express replacing Intercity 125 and 225 stock there will be no more locomotive drawn trains in regular service in Britain (ie not on heritage or railtour railways). Is this progress, and if so why are loco trains still so common in France, Switzerland...

Has there yet any announcement regarding the northwards High Speed Rail's Loading Gauge? It would seem to make sense to go for the continental standard in order to accomadate larger (perhaps double decker?) trains similar to the TGV Duplex. And what is the loading gauge currently used for High...

Any ideas when this is going to start? The wikipedia page (best source I can get on this I'm afraid) says "from 2013 or a little earlier in time for the 2012 Olympics". Anyone got any hunches on a more precise date?
