Hi Guys Can anyone give me some advice on where to find the distance from Kings Cross St.Pancreas to Rotterdam (via Brussels) and Rotterdam to Amsterdam (and back again!!) I have these from when I went away for work about a month ago and haven't managed to get them in yet.. thanks all :)

Oxford Parkway isn't on the Mileage Engine yet. And I can't seem to find the Excel Spreadsheet for the Underground.. (the again I may just be being stupid..

Well done fella. Very best of luck, record all the stations you change at. I'll be interested to hear all about it.

As HLE says their is often a white sightscreen behind the bowler which allows the batsman to pick up the ball easily. If you're having a small red object thrown at you from less then 22 yards away then being able to see it is important...

Indeed there is. My apologies I'd forgotten that the J+J was there. I haven't lived in Leam for about 2 years so didn't remember that one.

Not sure of many decent pubs near LMS station - I used to live in the area... It's certainly not the nicest part of town. There is however a Morrison's about 3/4 mile up the road where there is a cafe if you wanted something more like a cup of tea?!

I get asked frequently about different platforms, connections, ticket types etc. and I certainly don't look like a guard/ticket inspector. 20 Year-old male, with long hair in a ponytail, cap or some form of hat, and very very rarely do I wear a tie to travel, let alone a suit. Although it may...

Now they're tempting :D Gives me a chance to tick off some more stations on my challenge! Thanks for the advice about fair routing, I'll keep that in mind when I do the interview - don't want to ruin things for people in an attempt to be helpful.

Hi, I'm looking for advice on how to get cheap tickets/travel on all forms of public transport. Reason being - I host a show on my uni radio station and on Wednesday I'm recording a show with a few other students about how to "Travel on the Cheap". Now I know about train ticket splitting...

Public transport buses only... That's how I'd do it, because one of the irregular routes round Oxford way occasionally uses a minibus on their Saturday/Sunday services... Public transport means that way any bus size can be included.

Think mine works out at around 400 miles for this year so far. I keep a tally of my trips but not which route or from/to where, so that's only a estimate working from memory of routes taken.

Ah fair enough. Now to try and work it all out!! :|

Can I count my miles to lectures? Seeing as I'm a student and lectures are instead of work should I count them??

I certainly will be walking between where I can. My love of photography will see to that!!

Does anyone know how often trains run to/from Reddish South and Denton stations (Nr Manchester)? National Rail doesn't seem to show any trains running from there.

Thanks everyone, I certainly wasn't expecting such a response, (especially so quickly!!). I'll certainly be looking at walking or busing between stations if I can. Yeah, I'll have a word with the guard. Don't want him going off without me and leaving me stranded in the middle of nowhere for...

Ok, I'm mad, I know that much but I am currently trying to visit every single station on the National Rail system. By Visit every station I mean get a train either to or from every station, just passing through doesn't count and I won't accept it as a completed station. Lets give some...

Fair enough. Just wondered as I wasn't using a 1st Class seat, or facilities. I'm happy to be moved on as long as the guard was in the right

Is a TOC allowed to stop you standing in the doorway of a 1st Class carriage when a standard class ticket holder? I was travelling on a Saturday night on a XC train from Birmingham New Street to Oxford with a standard ticket. The train was full, as I'd expected, and I couldn't find a seat so I...

Theres a small village cricket ground in Cherwell Valley where I umpired last year. During the summer there is a train that passes along the back of the ground and play has to be stopped every time the train passes as it goes right behind the bowlers arm. I had great fun with my camera every...
