Unfortunately RTT doesn't always include mileage data for my journeys.

You must've been on the 390 ahead of me! I was on the 11:37 from Wolverhampton and we went through the same procedure. There was a Network Rail Hilux and fire service appliance to the West of the line when I went through. Caught a nice wee glimpse of Leander and Scots Guardsman on the way...

Got 29 trips waiting to be calculated - I'm desperate for RailMiles to come back!

I don't believe there is single line running currently with replacement buses in operation between Edinburgh and North Berwick.

The @NetworkRailSCOT twitter feed posted these pictures earlier on this evening. Angle 1 Angle 2 Reporting specialist engineers on site and working overnight to fix the problem. It does look relatively minor though who knows what surveying is required to discover the cause of the sinkhole.

Cheers! Just passed 67027 again at Carlisle along with 67012, 5981 and 977997.

Does anyone happen to know the identity of the DB Schenker 67 and Network Rail coaches on 168E that went through Stafford at 16.49 on 23.1.15? I was caught off guard and only managed to identify 82145 on the rear. Additionally there was a Network Rail track machine alongside Colas DR73929 just...

This was unbelievably helpful of you, thanks again! I'm not sure what happened around Motherwell though I know the overhead lines were down earlier on in the day. Rail Miles pricing does seem quite reasonable and it will hopefully give me consistency with my mileage figures. Using the atlas I...

If you wouldn't mind looking it up then that would be very much appreciated! I just spent the last goodness knows how long with a track atlas and came up with a figure that I imagine will be terribly inaccurate so I shall certainly be looking into getting a Rail Miles subscription. The...

I am interested in starting to record my mileage and with the start of the year not long past, now is the perfect opportunity to begin. I have only made two journeys this year one of which was a local ScotRail service which allowed me to pull the mileage off of RTT. However my second journey was...

I just passed through Lancaster at 23:10 on the Virgin service to Glasgow Central. The place was swarming with track machinery though in the darkness and short stop I was unable to get their numbers. There was at least one SB Rail track tamper and a really long Network Rail LORAM rail grinder...

Cheers!

Hi, could anyone please tell me the number of the second East Coast unit which was working with 43311 at Edinburgh Waverley today? :)

Generally travelling from my local station, I simply use the ticket machine (which works fine albeit with repeated stabs at the required characters) however for longer journeys where there is more opportunity for confusion to arise and I am more likely to have queries, I am usually departing...

It sounds like a good move to me. Personally I hate using the ticket offices as I find the barrier between you and the staff very difficult to communicate through. I'll have my conversation all planned out only to go there and not be able to understand a thing because of the terrible muffling...

Reading through this thread reminded me of a video I saw a while back. In it a man is accused of not having a ticket and refuses to leave the train when confronted by the guard. Eventually a member of the public offers his assistance to remove the man from the train and the guard agrees. The...

Thank you very much! Not too bad nabbing 6 Class 68s in one day :D

I just passed the DRS Kingmoor Depot on my way South and saw a Class 68 there but missed the number. First time seeing one and I would appreciate it if someone could tell me the number!

I find it quite surprising that people are calling him pathetic and questioning his use of time considering we are all posting on a forum dedicated to railway matters. Is it more acceptable for me to post a trip report from a days spotting in the rain than it is for a little bit of...

From what I understand there is a separate project to replace the slab-track in the tunnel and it is this that would require the closure of the high-level station for a period of three to four months in 2016. This is unrelated to the station redevelopment and electrification program which...
