    Rhaetian Railway ticketing

    Good to know, thanks - as mentioned by other posters, probably too expensive for just short trips unfortunately. That's a good point - I'll take a look at Interrail for the whole thing. Guarda was on my list of places to stay for a few days, so good to know it's worth it. That could be...

    Rhaetian Railway ticketing

    I'm planning a trip to the Lower Engadine in Southeast Switzerland at some point once travel is possible again, and was wondering if there's some sort of ticketing option for various short trips on the RHB during a week (e.g. Scuol-Lavin, Scuol-Zernez) - the idea being to get the train somewhere...

    Manchester to Wilmslow routeing

    I hadn't spotted that - thanks very much for pointing out.

    Manchester to Wilmslow routeing

    I need to travel from Piccadilly to Wilmslow, then a few days later from the Airport to Piccadilly. If I get a Manchester Stns to Wilmslow return, can I start the return journey at the Airport?

    Northern timetable changes May 2019

    Is there platform capacity to leave three cars at Piccadilly and pick them up again on the way back to Cleethorpes? Or would the need to use the same platform on both journeys be too constraining?

    York-London Off Peak Return validity

    Does anyone know how long the return portion of this ticket is valid for? Thanks in advance. http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=YRK&dest=KGX&grpd=1072&rte=27&tkt=BFR

    Victoria to Pimlico

    The Victoria line between Victoria and Pimlico (southbound) is particularly noisy in terms of squealing - especially when compared to the rest of the Victoria line. I know there's a curve between these two stations, but looking here (http://carto.metro.free.fr/cartes/metro-tram-london/) it...

    Grand Central Problems

    https://twitter.com/GC_Rail/status/1022464525885480961 This must be a new low - Sunderland to King's Cross cancelled at York, onward road transport the only option!

    Suggestions for where new flyovers/diveunders should be built to replace 'flat' junctions

    Would grade separation west of Barnes open up much capacity on the Windsor lines?

    Northern timetable plan for May 2018

    Good to see Cattal to Eastrington commuters are finally getting a direct service. Shame it's only in one direction ;)

    Hull Trains 180s

    You say "yet" - are GC planning on doubling up trains at some point in the future?

    Seating and comfort on the IEPs vs HSTs

    Better than the Class 180? I've only been on an 800 once and was at a table so I've not been able to compare.

    Hull Trains 180s

    The 1148 King's Cross to Hull was a Grand Central liveried 180 this morning, complete with Hull Trains antimacassars. I know Grand Central have had some old FGW 180s delivered recently - have some been swapped with Hull Trains as well?

    The Reopening Of Haxby Rail Station (Any Updates?)

    If it were on the same site as the previous Haxby station I'm not sure it's of any use for Clifton Moor. It's too far to walk from either, and the bus links are better from the city centre. The only use for a station at Haxby would be people from Haxby going to the centre of York (which as...

    Trivia: Stops You Wouldn't Expect

    Interesting you say that - I see it come through York almost every week and it's never more than half full. I do wonder if that's because advances seem to be much more expensive on that one than the trains up to half an hour later.
