Couldn't find much recent coverage of this online apart from a public Facebook post, but doesn't look like the Dublin Swift will sail at all this year. Seemingly, work on the Terminal 5 berth has been postponed until the November, leaving very limited capacity at Holyhead port just for the...

I was reading the recent thread about old withdrawn international ferry routes, and it got me thinking about how many domestic ferry routes within the UK have also disappeared or changed their route over the last few decades. Some of them feel surprisingly recent, others already half‑forgotten...

Anyone travelled on the ICE 3neo recently in Belgium and used the on board restaurant? How does it compare to German domestic routes and does it open on departure from Brussels? Wondering whether it's worth having dinner onboard since it's an evening departure at 18:26. Travelling from...

Presumably a error in the system but did get me wondering, have Pendolinos the capability to run in multiple?

If political frictions, costs, infrastructure, customs and border formalities weren't constraints... What if there was a continuous high speed railway from London to Istanbul? Assuming it's built to allow 300-350km/h running and takes in some existing high-speed lines – which route would it...

Around 2008, I can remember that if the Piccadilly Line to Heathrow was closed for maintenance, customers could use the Heathrow Express without the premium cost to get to Central London. I'm guessing since the Elizabeth Line to Heathrow opened, this allowance stopped, albeit still a much...

Is it permitted to do a break of journey or finish and start a journey at Hastings with an off-peak Tonbridge-Bexhill return?

Travelling from Brighton to London directly I already have a season ticket valid for any train between Redhill and London Terminals. Which station do I get a ticket to from Brighton if the train doesn't stop at Redhill but takes the Quarry Line by-pass?

Visiting Leuven and making a couple of day trips into central Brussels for Le Tour next month so looking at which tickets to buy and whether using the SNCB app for tickets is best. The Ibis hotel we've booked is a bit too far to walk from the main station for my relatives but there is a bus stop...

From http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/211154.aspx Not a great day for travel HS1, advice for Southeastern customers to travel via the classic routes via London Bridge. Seems like quite a few Eurostar cancellations too.

Is it still possible to check-in at Ashford/Ebbsfleet on one of these tickets provided you arrive before the check-in closure time at St Pancras?

Just a random and trivial thought but what cars would we be typically still driving today if the replacement cycle reflected that of passenger trains in the UK?

Looking up timetable alterations on the Tonbridge-London timetable over Easter I see that there will only be the hourly Southern train to London Victoria via Redhill on 31st March and just to Redhill (for connections) 1st April. I'm guessing that service will get quite full unless it's...

Increasingly I find on my journeys rail passengers of all all ages and backgrounds happily playing back streamed TV thanks to Wifi/4G or sharing their own personal video footage on phones/portable devices minus any headphones. Do railway bylaws have any ruling against this or are we slowly...

Going back to the early 1990s when there were a few test runs of Eurostar to Manchester and Glasgow just wondered if there were any documented details online anywhere about these and photos. All without passengers presumably, were they one-offs and what lines were they cleared to run on...

Considering what's my best ticket/route option here for a trip in August departing Friday, returning Monday (so not booking for a while yet) and whether a split-ticket would work out cheaper. I have a NSE railcard but that's obviously not going to be much use for a lot of the journey. Ruling...

Out of interest are there any stats on the proportion of customers who now buy tickets online for collection for simple A-B journeys such as heading into town for shopping/etc? I only ask as somebody without a car and living in a well served rail-hub; trains are my primary way to get around...

Traveling from Petts Wood to Kentish Town at peak time I normally travel via Thameslink to avoid the tube - avoiding the hassle of changes, crowds and added cost. I use Pay as you go Oyster as my commute isn't daily. This costs £4.90 one way. If the Thameslink core is disrupted, as it was...

I've an off peak return £65 (any TOC/route) from Stoke on Trent wanting to arrive in London around 10:30 on a weekday. Can't do this with Virgin but EMT off peak seems valid on 09:01 off Derby so could I use it on this? The getting to Derby bit during peak isn't a problem as I've a friend...

What really? Are 373s cleared to run to Bruges? :roll:
