Most of us on here will know all the pedantic stuff regarding the railway. Outside of this forum however, many people have a much smaller knowledge of the railway, which can lead to quite a few misunderstandings and incorrect assumptions. Some common examples are:
- “Virgin still operate Cross Country”
- “FirstGroup no longer operate TransPennine Express or Great Western Railway”
- “Liverpool Street station is in Liverpool, not London”
- “Diesel electric traction and bi-modes are the same thing”
- “The tube is the quickest way to get between Leicester Square and Covent Garden”
- “London Overground and Crossrail aren’t part of the National Rail network”
