    What are the advantages and disadvantages of Diesel v Electric?

    As title. Everyone seems to want to electrify lines but I don’t know why!

    Are all seven platforms in London Cannon Street CST actually used?

    Seems a lot of platforms for a small station!

    Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde Pier Head

    But there isn’t a station at Yarmouth any more! 1714040685 1714040752 Yes, that makes sense!

    Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde Pier Head

    Good morning according to the Trainline app I can buy a ticket Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde Esplanade but not to Ryde Pier Head even though the Esplanade route involves a change at Pier Head! Any ideas why?

    Toilets on Mid Wales line?

    Hi I'm due to take the entire mid Wales line from S to N later this week. I assume there will be toilets on board but if not I may have to reconsider as it’s a long ride! I’m hoping some can put my mind at rest. Thanks in advance.

    Knaresborough

    Hi I am intending to visit Knaresborough as part of a Yorkshire trip next week. I believe the town and station are well worth a visit as well as the beautiful viaduct. Can anyone supply more details, such as other local places (rail or non-rail) to visit, and how long should I stay there for...

    Istanbul-Sofia.

    What fabulous luck! I will arrive Istanbul tomorrow and try to buy a ticket to Sofia. So I should go to Sirkeci station to buy a ticket but I’m still not sure which station the train will start from. Perhaps you could elucidate? Thanks for your excellent post and have a great time in Istanbul...

    Istanbul-Sofia.

    Thank you all. It seems that train transport in the Balkans is problematic! As an alternative, I am considering the overnight train Istanbul-Sofia. Is there any problem with that train at the moment? I believe it runs nightly from a station near Istanbul (?) and arrives early the following...

    Collecting ticket booked on Trainline

    I had occasion to book a ticket on Trainline from my mobile phone when I was away from home. I paid using Apple Pay. There was no mobile ticket available. When I got to the station the machine wouldn't release the ticket as I had forgotten my credit card! Is there a way round this until all...

    Where can I get these route diagrams?

    The attached line diagram is embedded into the Wikipedia article, and every train line seems to have such a diagram in its Wiki entry. Does anyone know if such diagrams have a name, and who produces them? I would like to be able to see them all in one place rather than have to search every...

    Delay Repay claims rejected

    I’ve only needed to claim once, being a trip from Preston to London being delayed so long that I was entitled to a full refund. I completed the online form during the journey and received the refund the next day. I had bought the ticket online; maybe this sped things up?

    Delay repay. Do you bother?

    If you bought the ticket online can the compensation be automatically returned to the card you paid with?
