Son travelling today on the 1132 Winchester to Birmingham International, then onwards to Shrewsbury. Just asked for the £85.30 off-peak single Winchester to Shrewsbury (route + Birmingham) at the BO window (screen shot sent by me so he was fully equipped to ask for the correct ticket). Clerk...

Just watched a YouTube video of trains at Rugby filmed on 25/5/1988 which included a shot of 47323 on a southbound loaded MGR. Trying to recall what that flow would have been?

Now you mention it, no!

Just to follow up, I got the paper ticket for this fare at Gobowen and it didn't operate the gates at Marylebone in either direction, or tube gates at Marylebone in either direction, Can't comment on the gates at Hayes & Harlington as I ended up terminating short outward at Ealing Broadway due...

Cheers. I’ll give Severn Dee my custom then at Gobowen.

Tried as suggested. Still not showing.

Doing the above trip on Friday 19/7 returning Monday 22/7. 'BR Fares' show a £55.90 Off Peak return and £41.35 Super Off Peak return (with DSB railcard), route High Wycombe. These fares have been around for years IIRC but I cannot seem to get any TOC website to show the fare to buy. Any ideas...

Update: After sending story to a director at TfW on Friday last week, the second appeal was allowed today. Good outcome for the lad, but shocking behaviour by WMT.

Yes indeed. That is what happened.

Sure is. Issued at 0812. Train arrived at 0808. Reason stated as OTHER. 1705173169 Thought so. Sadly he appealed immediately and the appeal was declined! I’ve told him to re-appeal.

Seems it’s possible to buy a Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton advance single with 16-25 railcard for a train at 0730 on a weekday and pay under £12.00. I always thought fares were rounded up to the minimum fare if the RC discount took them under the threshold. Now the issue is my friend has had a...

These posters appear to be all over the TfW network. I'm on the Cambrian and I'm wondering how these are not in breach of some regulation or other. How can it be 'the law' at (for example) Penrhyndeudraeth where I snapped this shot? It is unstaffed with no TVM. I presume the rule still applies...

They should get some of those 'Dukws' that were used on Thames river tours for the T19 - ideal for the Conwy Valley wash outs. In fact they could stop running trains down there altogether and combine the bus/rail route using them.

Help please if possible. Can Eastleigh ticket office sell tickets for the car park at the station or is it a case of buying at a machine? I need to park there from 1500 Friday to 0900 Monday. A weekend ticket seems to exist for £7.90 valid from 1400 Friday. SWR website doesn't say when this...

Is there an Open Top tour/service bus running in Portsmouth currently?

Wythall Transport Museum reopened yesterday and are running an event on Bank Holiday 30th & 31st August.

In the early 1990's at TAME VALLEY TRAVEL in Birmingham we had ex. WMPTE Fleetlines (6372 & 6726 IIRC), an ex. WMPTE National (6818) - (and maybe 6852/3?) and 2 ex WMPTE Volvos (4740 & 4773) competing against West Midlands Travel.

Do any experts have any suggestions for excessing a SVR Manchester to London Terminals return portion to enable use on the 0910 Euston to Crewe. It has a 2C restriction so currently no good until 0927. There are some SSR tickets with ‘pre 0906’ restrictions such as to Marsden ‘any permitted’...

TfW also adding the Crewe-Shrewsbury stopping service on Sundays from the Dec 19 timetable too.

I have found an old photo of a visit I made to Rugeley Power Station open day. I'm stood on the steps of loco 20163 in Railfreight Grey livery. A class 56 and a 47 in the same liveries are behind. From Google I can see that 58039 was named 'Rugeley Power Station' on Saturday 13/9/86. Can...
