Given the current heatwave, I'm thinking a lot about ways to keep myself and my room cool I have put newspaper pagers covering the outside of my window (although the wind has stolen a couple pages), and I have a stand-alone air con unit that is currently blowing cool air onto me while at my work...

I ideally want to do Crewe -(via Stoke)- Stafford -(via Trent Valley)- Rugby -(via Northampton)-London Southbound since I haven't used those routes that way before. But I can't get trainsplit to show this for me, except for a weird overnight itinerary...

Hi, I've noticed today all terminating services that would normally use platform 5 at Oxford Road have been using Platform 3 today. Does anyone know why and how long this will be the case? I saw earlier on Traksy it showing "NOGO" in P5 and is now showing "*LB*" 1779714511 Looks like trains have...

I'm planning to attempt to travel the entire Manchester Metrolink network on Saturday. According to the transitruns website (https://www.transitruns.org/manchester/) and some searching, I haven't been able to find video of any times better than the 06:25:27 by Goran Newsum with video evidence...

I figured this needed its own thread. Why would the North East need the MMU's quite early on? There's hardly much distance under wires covered as part of most diagrams up there, just the Newcastle - Morpeth part of the Morpeth - Carlisle and the few per day direct Darlington - Newcastle via...

I just want to confirm that my thinking is right here: If I buy a West Yorkshire Daysaver Train, a Greater Manchester Rail Ranger, and a Littlebrough-Walsden Duo, we would be able to take a train that does not stop at both Littlebrough and Walsden (e.g. the Leeds-Wigan going non-stop between...

I've put this as trivia because even though this can be useful, it saves a second or two at most. I've been doing this myself when I have a chance but I've not written down my results, so have forgotten most of them. I'm including any UK trains (past, present or future), trains currently in...

The TfL planned track closures PDF says between "Saturday 15 February" and "Sunday 23 February", "Reeves Corner to East Croydon" will be closed. Google Maps doesn't seem to think anything will be out of the ordinary, and both bustimes.org and TfL's journey planner don't go to February yet. Does...

I can see we already have a MERY XMAS at Horsley, any others? I can find a decent number of closed messages (T3, SHUT, etc), but not any other Christmas ones just yet.

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/wigan-bolton-electrification-construction-updates-only-please.224276 How do they plan to do that then? The Atherton line already has half-hourly service each way which all already stop at Daisy Hill (and losing that perfect half...

This has to be the TfW ones right? The sooner the 197s get running more the earlier the Marston Vale gets its trains then.

Split from this thread as it began to get off topic. There's diversions around Hindley-Wallgate corridor possibly due to the electrification in the original thread. I thought I'd split the thread and quote the original where necessary Platform 3 is very much still in use, the display is...

Does anyone know what the TOC that connects to the most other TOCs is? I'd think it might be EMR connecting to 12 Northern, TPE, Avanti, WMT, Crosscountry, LNER, Grand Central, Hull Trains, Greater Anglia, Thameslink, Southeastern and Eurostar But maybe there's something I'm not thinking of or...
