    Any slower I'd be walking!

    Rather amused this morning to see the 0946 Avonmouth to Weston-super-Mare was partially cancelled after Bristol TM due to "Due to the planned train being replaced with a slower train (MS)." Given this train then proceeds after Bristol to call at every all stations to WSM including Bedminster...

    Piccadilly Line - Rayners Lane <-> Uxbridge

    Just checking the TfL status and the Picc is part suspended between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge due to "difficult track conditions", yet the Met is quite happily going along the very same stretch of track. This is nothing new I appreciate ... I guessed what the reason was when I saw it. Couple...

    Length restriction on WCML?

    Due to engineering work in the Northampton area, many trains have been removed from the timetable today (Sun 10 Sep 23) - no LNWR services out of Euston to the West Midlands / TV Line before 1pm. As a result, southbound services were also affected and very overcrowded. On the 1427 Rugby -...

    GWR - Sunday services; 1927 Weston-Super-Mare to Paddington

    Couple of weeks ago I was in the delightful Weston-Super-Mare and had a return ticket booked on the 1927 back to Paddington (starts at Taunton). Only because I decided to check before hand on RTT did I find that that service was cancelled due to crew issues and found an alternative service...

    Overnight Bus Service (EUS - MKC)

    Hello all. I have seen a few times on RTT that there is a 0200 bus service from Euston to Milton Keynes Central on a Sunday morning. This would certainly save on a hotel Saturday night but not sure if they always run and where they stop at Euston. Has anyone ever caught this or has any info...

    Hemel Hempstead Bay Platform

    Hello all. Out of interest, when was the bay platform at Hemel used? I see it every day but having only lived here for a couple of years, I've never seen anything in it. Can anyone give me some idea when it was last used for? Is it part of the old Lickey line to St Albans or was it in...

    Incident at Hemel Hempstead

    Looks like 426W has hit a person at Hemel Hempstead around 1430. Thoughts involved to everyone. Not sure what (if anything ) is moving through there ... but that's where I'm heading right now.

    Hemel Hempstead screwed by London Midland

    I have just moved to the Eutopian paradise that is Hemel and it appears that in order to catch a train to Euston, I get the choice between getting screwed for a ticket and getting screwed for a ticket. Every off-peak ticket to London is £13.60. This is the cost if I walk to the station right...

    Historical (Pre-Privitisation) Train Time Site

    Hello all - apologies if this idea has already been floated, punctured, shot several times and buried under the new Crossrail station at Canary Wharf.... How easy would it be to have a searchable site (that looks like RTT, as an example) but would contain historical timetable details...

    Lack of 319's ???

    Are the good people at FCC having an issue with available rolling stock at the moment ? I ask this for two reasons. 1) If there was any other reason for putting just 1 four car unit on the 0620 Brighton - Bedford (via Tulse Hill) service then they deserve a slap ! It's normally 8 cars...
