Why are there only 4 trains going from Wareham to Waterloo on Monday 28 May? They're supposed to be running a monday timetable...

Dear all, I am reserving a train ride back to London (Waterloo) from Wareham on 28/5/18 However, there are only 3 trains that day - why is this so? https://www.traintime.uk/index.php?from=WRM&to=WAT&datetime=201805281414 Considering my family of four will all have their bikes with them, those...

And the 458s...

I've cheekily taken a pendolino from WFJ to Euston (even when it said it wasn't for public use) but the other way round is impossible as the ticket inspectors won't let you.

Just a query about long-distance SWR services. In my opinion, these are not run like proper Intercity services, which they should be. Some of these lines, e.g. to Portsmouth, are using commuter-grade 450s. Also, include 4 bike spaces per carriage - you should see how crowded these get on...

Rejoice!

Victoria and Brixton Ashford International and Lille Europe (French TGV stations miles better than anything we have here) St Pancras and Luton Airport Parkway Winchester and Micheldever Tisbury and Salisbury

While travelling on inner suburban trains in both London and Paris, one of the stark differences is how little time French trains lose at stations. During this holiday in France, I timed station dwell times on the Transilien L line and K line. On average, they were 18 seconds shorter than on...

Mitcham Eastfields Acton Main Line - trains don't go further than Hayes, and you might as well call every mainline station that way - Raynes Park Mainline. Tattenham Corner? South Greenford - to the east of G Micheldever - nowhere near M, 6km away, might as well Parkwayify it (A303). The area...

What are the areas of the WCML with the highest combination of tilt and speed (i.e. at 125 mph)? In the inner part Berkhamsted is very canted.

Where are some of the best photography/videography locations on the inner SWML - between Woking and Winchester - where I could capture MUs (maybe XC) at ~100mph? Preferably a footbridge or station, no roads pls. Also must be accessible by train, no more than 10 mins walk.

Wow, they're doing much better than SWR!

It's funny taking a Virgin train at Watford Junction towards Euston: "This train is not for public use. Please do not board this train"

England is showcasing its ability to be technologically late to the party. The L0 series Maglev, looking to be sold by JR Railways to other countries, as well as being planned for Japanese HS lines, would complete a journey from London to Manchester (equivalent distance from Tokyo to Nagoya) in...

I've seen, in SWT days, trains to Aldershot and Farnham via Feltham. The logic baffles me - they are consecutive stations!

You need to tap in/out at Moorgate... But independently, why couldn't a passageway be established between tube and train? I know there are legalities to deal with, but wouldn't it be physically simple in most cases?

Hello all (sorry if this topic is in another thread already), -I'm wondering: the Oyster zone has only expanded since its inception. Recently, the spur to Gatwick has been established. Many parts of the zone extend far beyond London into Essex, Hertfordshire and Bucks. -Is it only a matter of...
