    Newark Castle

    Thank you for finding this link. National Express are publicising locally at the moment their ticket office in the bus station. It appears there are two sellers of bus tickets at the interchange. http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach_ims/pdf/activeagentslist.pdf

    Newark Castle

    Gives the old address for the Mansfield bus station. The website does not appear to have been updated since March 2013. A new bus station was opened adjacent to the railway station about three years ago. National Express have been promoting the travel facilities they offer at their office...

    Rail & Sail Holland

    On a recent visit to Holland I found that you are given NS Day Tickets which give 24 hours unlimited travel in Holland on the day you check in at the station. This means you don't have to use them solely for travelling to or from Hoek van Holland, but can be used for longer journeys during...

    tram recommendations

    Basel has trams from the 1970s, some aticulated rebuilt with low entry centre working alongside new trams. Some services have two trailers, and it always fascinates me to see articulated trams with a trailer. Intensive metre gauge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGQ4L8yBM3Y

    Manchester Piccadilly - Unfriendly and overstaffed?

    We were not going through an exit, nor entering a platform, but walking up the concourse. No check on entering platform 13.

    My wife and I passed through Manchester Piccadilly yesterday for the first time at 14.00 with two large suitcases. Arriving at platform 1 with a connection on platform 13 with 8 minutes to get there. I was struck by the high number of staff as I followed the directions. We were stopped by a...

    Credit Cards in the Netherlands

    A poster on another thread states that NS now accept credit cards at all stations. If this is so it is a major change for visitors buying tickets in the Netherlands. Can anyone else confirm this change has been fully implemented?

    In 2011 travelling from Freiburg to Karlsruhe we got free coffee plus a box of chocolates. The chocolates were to promote DBs sponsorship of one of the German Olympic teams.

    Passengers And Parcels

    I remember travelling many times from London to Nottingham by the late night paper train in the 1950s and 1960s. Only one coach, the rest vans. Often talked about in this house. You were usually given a newspaper as you walked up the platform. I remember asking "how much" once only to be...
