I truly hope this problem is temporary as I really want to visit this station and I'll be so sad if Altnabreac closes. I'm tempted to contact scotrail...

I don't know yet. I'm not sure if I want to do it one way, both ways or one way and then terminate in Birmingham where I live. I like the idea of both ways though because I can incorporate both sleepers and vary the route considerably.

I'm definitely thinking about spreading the journey out over 3 or 4 days because I don't want a crazy scramble to catch trains and sightsee as well. I want us to enjoy what we are doing. Eventually I shall write my intended route down and it'll all come together. Thank you everyone. I'm loving...

I hadn't thought about going to Lands end or John o Groats only the travel by train part but it's an idea to think about. I also was thinking about incorporating both sleepers into my journey but it wouldn't be a get there as fast as you can journey because I want to enjoy it and I want those...

I often use the Birmingham - Wolverhampton local station stopper train and at NS it is usually Platform 4C or B but can change. From Wolverhampton it is always platform 5 but London Midland recently made changes to their timetables and the last train of the day was no longer on the usual...

Wow thanks for that. Used to love watching it when I was a child but haven't seen it for years :-(

Ahhhh thanks for the explanation. No i'm not fully aware of how they operate it but it's interesting and certainly worth reading about and looking up.

I noticed today that those responsible for the cross city line (in Birmingham) are doing engineering works from Longbridge to Redditch. Trains were terminating at Selly Oak. The line becomes single track after Barnt Green (a station between L and R. I was just wondering how they would actually...
