    Let's stick to the thread above for this rather than making another.

    Vienna - Prague Direct Train - Ticket Amended

    The Rail Replacement bus will wait for the connecting train - so there's no worry about that. It's usually done in a very efficient manner in the likes of the Czech Republic/Austria. REX41 is more of a line number - so everything running between Vienna and Gmuend/Ceske Velenice is known as...

    Understanding the ECML timetable

    The TPE from Newcastle to Liverpool used to leave around xx05 then the xx43 path was reserved for a slower Manchester service. There's still a couple of those paths getting used - IIRC the last Liverpool leaves at 2058 then there's a York at 2201. Because TPE reduced their timetable - it...

    Is this me or are train companies offering off peak returns that are not valid?

    They've assumed, based on your question, that your ticket is from Huddersfield to Leeds - which does hold an evening restriction.

    XC strike Sat 13th April OFF

    The message has now changed to: "Our teams are working hard to minimise disruption however we are unable to revert to a full timetable due to the timescales." We'll have to see whether this means that it'll be a strike timetable or if there'll be some extra services slotted in where possible.

    Prague - Tickets

    I took a 'short' Hostivice-Zlíčin service back in January and it had about six on - not bad for a cold evening! There's definitely demand for tram connections from there it seems but less so trundling down the hill. In fairness, services *to* Hlavní Nadraží won't have been that well used...

    Rapid fire platform changes at Crewe

    I was on the delayed Avanti service in question and the TM was announcing that passengers on board should change at Warrington for London if they had an Off-Peak or Anytime ticket. He then announced that you should change at Crewe if you accidentally stayed on anyway... The automated...

    Consequences of Giving False Details

    Perhaps I should have worded it a little differently - that nobody on our radar ultimately did. So that took a PFN not being paid and escalating for several months, then legal flagging it to us. Either their card was "marked" so to speak (we had plenty of ways to communicate with each other...

    Consequences of Giving False Details

    From experience of issuing PFNs/MG11s, usually here's the scenarios that would play out... You put on a convincing act first time round and get away with it. If you never fare evade or do anything wrong ever again, then not a lot will happen You put on a convincing act first time, then get...

    [DK] Best way of getting to Aarhus

    Aalborg is simple enough (and more interesting to a rail enthusiast) as it involves taking the train direct from the airport. I've flown into Aarhus itself a couple of times and it's fine. The coach is timed to wait for the plane if it's delayed and you can buy a ticket on the Midttrafik app...

    Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs) should have foreign language options

    LNER TVMs do offer other languages, but having played around with one in a foreign language, it became quickly apparent that barely anything was actually translated. Ticket names, restrictions, explainers etc. were still in English. All that changed was the navigation buttons. Directly...

    Validity limit of [Place] Stations tickets

    As for the Manchester example - if break of journey is permitted then indeed you could continue to Oxford Road. I had this exact scenario two weeks back when a friend and I had a concert to attend near Oxford Road - we came from Holmes Chapel, had something to eat near Piccadilly then went one...

    Bus spotting in Europe.

    Vilnius still has a load of old Škoda 14Tr Trolleybuses if that's your thing.

    Services around Sarajevo

    This is an immensely helpful map! Indeed shows the sparse level of service heading north once you're past Visoko. Can also confirm as per @peterblue that the cable car is definitely worth a ride.
