I believe the 47/6 conversions ended one shorter than originally planned (47665) to avoid there being a 47666. Roy

Last week I wanted to buy a single ticket for the 21:45 Penzance to St.Erth. I went (as I have done many times in the past) to the ticket machine, but the Devon and Cornwall Railcard option is no longer available. The train was in the platform early as always and I asked the guard if I could...

I am looking to buy return tickets for me and my son from Fareham to Southampton Central for this Saturday, I have a Network Railcard. Looking at National Rail site I see options to travel between the two with either Southern or First Great Western. The Southern option is priced at £4.75...

I am sure I have read here that for the purposes of split tickets a train does not have to call at a station for a split SDR / Zone 1-6 Day Travelcard? I have done some searches and failed miserably to come up with the discussion. However, having looked at the NCoC I can find nothing in there...

Could anybody please let me know what unit worked the 18:27 Manchester Piccadilly to Bournemouth on 21/03/2012 Thanks, Roy

Some help please. After various searches of the internet in general and this forum I have failed to find what I want. I am probably being stupid or just unbelieving, but can anybody please explain the validity of the N-Network Daytripper. I find the information on the various websites...

In the past purchase of the National Rail Timetable was a must and they sat on a shelf as a reference library forever more. However, today I make use of the internet with electronic versions of the NRT and various TOC pocket timetables. Very occasionally I pick up a paper version of a pocket...

Could anybody with access to TRUST please look at what the lead power car on the 07:58 Swansea - London Paddington was today (19/01/2012). My in-bound train to Reading was late and I had to rush and only saw the back power car (43036). Thanks in advance, Roy

I have a Devon and Cornwall railcard and have tried to use it several times to buy a discounted St Ives Bay Day Ranger. The literature for the railcard states that you get "1/2 off St Ives Bay Line Day Ranger". The day ranger (adult) is £4 so I would expect to pay £2. However, I have never...

Anybody have any news on when the replacement bodies for the wrongly numbered units will be available? Tried looking at the Bachmann site but no joy. Not even anything about the problem when first found. Thanks, Roy

I was wondering if somebody could help clear up the situation with regards to Class 350/0 350001. This was a Siemens desiro that was built and I saw (may even have some photos somewhere) at Northam depot at one point. I have heard that it was rebuilt as one of the new Class 360/2 Heathrow...

Over the past few weeks I have posted a number of my personal experiences where things have not gone quite right with regards to rail travel. It set me thinking whether it just looks like I am posting replies that aren’t true as I have experienced several bad issues myself. That, in turn, set me...

Does the Long Rock fuel train still run Wednesday's only and, if so, does anybody have the timings for Long Rock? Thanks, Roy

Bachmann have some images of their new MLV on their home page (http://www.bachmann.co.uk/) and I have to say it is looking good. The underframe equipment looks amazing. I hope that they do try to correctly reflect the main differences between the members. Whilst small they did make a...

Is it possible to buy such a rover in advance? I am hoping to travel Winchester to Birmingham on a single train whilst only having bought the rover and a return Winchester -> Oxford. I don't mind if it is telesales, internet or at the station. Thanks, Roy

Ok, so I fell asleep and didn't look :oops: Anybody know what route was taken by the up Night Riviera last night.21:15 PNZ-PAD? Thanks, Roy

Given some of the discussion that has gone on in other threads about the “breaking of rules” by railway staff it set me wondering about where we draw the line. As an enthusiast there are rules that I am glad to have seen broken and from which I have greatly benefitted. Others I would frown upon...

Could somebody confirm that I have applied the Roueting Guide correctly please? I often travel Winchester to London, tickets being marked "Any Permitted Route". I was told by staff at Winchester that I could travel either directly to London Waterloo or travel via Reading to London Paddington...

Hello, Does anybody have any experience of rewheeling Bachmann EMUs to P4? If so, could you please share your experience? Whose wheels did you use and how simple was it? Thanks for any help. Roy

Hi All, If I remember correctly, when SWT first introduced its mainly red inner-surburban livery the first two units released had a slightly different front end paint style. The way in which the blue and yellow met around the cab sides / front was altered for later repaints. Can anybody...
