East Coast Trains Ltd will be launching very soon. The services will be branded 'lumo' and on launch there will be some cheap walk up fares running all the way till December. Extremely low quality is because I've had to remove other information.

There's no service between Stratford to Richmond/Clapham Junction and Highbury & Islington to West Croydon/Clapham Junction/Crystal Palace/New Cross. Apparently this is due to extra safety checks on the trains. A quick look around and I can't see any mention as to why or what's gone wrong to...

Hey guys! I'm going to America next year and was wondering which is better from New York to Chicago. The Cardinal or Lake Shore Limited. I'm not pushed for time, and so delays won't be an issue. But obviously comfort and food/drink options would need to be fairly decent. I'd be getting...

Came across this article on Google Now earlier. Quite a good read and it shows, if anything, how well Southern are actually doing.: http://www.southernrailway.com/southern/news/response-to-evening-standard-article-18th-september-on-cancellations/ I couldn't think of a better title so feel free...

Train Fever was recently released and I haven't seen a thread on it yet so thought this would be a good idea so we can share our experiences etc. with it.

Hi all, Just after some quick advice on what you think. So, I went to purchase my annual ticket from the ticket machine, however because my Smart Card expired before the annual ticket would expire (my smart card expires in September 2014, annual pass would expire in July 2015) I received an...

Just seen about this. http://www.ncl-coll.ac.uk/railacademy A new Rail Academy is opening up in Newcastle. Looks to be for the engineering side of things rather than any customer service or signalling type roles - I presume the signalling it talks about will be fixing/maintaining the signals...

As the title states really. Stratford International is going to be joining Zone 2/3 in a few years alongside Stratford, and Stratford High Street. Does this mean you will be able to use HS1 to/from Stratford with a travelcard, if so that is very good news! Seems odd they would bother to...

Hi! Does anyone know what WB64 will be working on Thursday/Friday of this week (24/25 July)? I'm after going for a small bash on it before it disappears again. Thanks in advance!

A Class 360 has derailed on Platform 3 at Paddington. Platforms 3/4 out of use until it's sorted.

Staff employed by DB Regio are to go on strike next week on the 28th May.

This is something I've wondered for a while, but tonight it happened to a friend - managed to get a lift home in the end. What happens when the last bus doesn't show up? Should you phone for a taxi, get a receipt and then send the receipt to the bus company? Would you get the taxi to the...

I'm wanting to buy a Travelcard along with my ticket to London, how do I input it into the East Coast/Southern online fare finders? There seems to be different versions of Zones 1-6.

As the title says really, I've had a look on Google and there is nothing to say Yes/No.

A few weeks back I purchased a First Class Advance with East Coast to London from Newcastle, splitting at Peterborough on the return. I've just finished undertaking the journey and between London and Peterborough I had my ticket checked, I only showed the London to Peterborough ticket and...

Hello! I've had something bug me for a while about the London Regional Transport Cleaning Services Manager building near Kings Cross and tonight I finally got round to doing some digging. I can't seem to find any information whatsoever with regards to this. I'd love to know what's in there as...

The RAIB has issued it's report for the 'Penetration and obstruction of a tunnel between Old Street and Essex Road stations, London'. Clicky clicky for full PDF file - will download and cost bandwidth for mobile users Previous thread can be found by clicking here

Hi all, I will be in London tomorrow and was hoping to travel on the 442s a couple of times. Does anyone know what the rough diagram is for them to operate services between Victoria/Bridge and East Croydon for tomorrow (Saturday 8th Feb)? As I'll be travelling I'd rather not have to...

An article from the Evening Chronicle. DB have been fined £500,000. With the loss of the master thread hopefully this will reignite some discussion about Metro...
