I wanted to take the sleeper Hamburg - Stockholm in July, and the superbly helpful Man In Seat 61 points me to book via SJ's website. However, all connections in June onwards, both daytime and sleeper, come up as "not available". There are some sleeper prices shown in April, but daytime again...

I would have though it's pretty unusual to see non-passenger stock left in platforms open to the public for any length of time, but a rail grinder - at least I assume it is one as it's fleet number appears to be simply "RDG" - has been parked up in Moorgate platform 4, a Circle bay, for the best...

I've now been commuting to Moorgate for six months, and one question is bugging me... why do down trains use SDO at Drayton Park so that only the front 5 cars release the doors? No up trains do, the platforms appear pretty much the same length, and on all bar one occasion down trains have fitted...

Tender placed for SouthEastern fleet replacement: https://bidstats.uk/tenders/2022/W45/786367024 The numbers look like it's about right for disposing of most or all of the Networker fleet, but not much else.

In November, I'm off to a conference in Berlin for a few days. It finishes at 5pm Friday, and I'm bumbling around looking for return options. I don't think there are any relevant overnight services - at least I can't find any - so I guess my options are an extra night in Berlin, or ICE back to...

Puzzled over this one. I want to travel from Milton Keynes to Glasgow next Saturday. There appears to be a convenient connection 1313 MKC->Edinburgh, with a leisurely change into a Glasgow train at Preston or Carlisle. However, Avanti's booking engine insists I take the 1250 Manchester, and then...

I need to reclaim my house from a large stack of paper... thought I would offer them before throwing away. BUSES ILLUSTRATED January 1965. CLASSIC BUS #3-4/6-9, 1993-4. BUSES FOCUS #6, 1997 BUSES: Jan 1984; Oct 1985; May 1987 Jan-June 1997; Apr 1998; Jan-Feb/May/Sept-Dec 1999; 2000 missing...

Is there anywhere online that shows complete timetables for European routes, much like the way individual UK operators turn their printed booklets into PDFs? The search engines which just take a start and end station don't really give the level of detail I'd like in terms of working out good...

I was trying to organise a day out St Neots - Worcester on a weekday over the holiday period, and it struck me what an unusually early finish the Birmingham - Stansted route has, with the last eastbound train at 2025 from New St. I have no problem with leaving home early and getting back late...

Hi all, Planning a trip to Liverpool next weekend. Other half is going to part of the Labour conference (yawn) so I have Sunday and up to about 12:00 Monday to bag as many outstanding 507/508s and Pacers as I can - all of which will likely be gone before I come back for another go. Obviously...

Just been told by the guy behind the counter at SNO I can't have a weekly travelcard (SNO - zones 1-2) without a photocard - and of course as I don't routinely carry photos of myself... Thing is, the vending machines don't seem to give any indication of this - two just happened to be out of...

...Specifically, when the ticket you want to purchase is not available from the local TVM? This arose last night - I work in Cambridge, live in St Neots, and was having a night out in London. I'm in a rush and only have time to get a travelcard at CBG, which is fine until time to come home...

...EC trailer 42239 left forlorn in the up-side siding at St Neots. Presumably a failure during the day meant it was abandoned there - but it seems odd that they would shunt it out on the fly, presumably leaving the rear half of the set on the running line for a while, rather than carry on to BN?

Noticed in the Evening Standard that the (an?) infamous TOX tagger has been jailed for 27 months on seven specimen counts of criminal damage totalling more than £200,000. His campaign of attacks stretched over 10 years and included railway infrastructure across the country, rolling stock, buses...
