Where were the days? I used to turn up at York station from over the other side of the Pennines. Preston. We always loved a trip out East to see other traction we didn't get on the West Coast Main Line. A £0.90 cheap day return to York was our choice. 1973 I think. I was 13 then. A class 104...

I'm looking for advice please. Could you help? I made an honest mistake. Yes, honestly :) I was issued a £20 penalty fare for travelling without a ticket from Bamber Bridge to Preston. I always buy a ticket before travelling. Always. I'm a 60 year old idiot! :) On Tuesday I had an...

@61653 HTAFC I recognise your sig as being from a steam locomotive named Huddersfield Town FC. I'm wondering, was there ever a loco named after my team Preston North End?

Back in 1982 after the Falklands War Preston GPO paid respect to our three lost ships, Sheffield, Antelope and Ardent. Reflect.

I'm completely lost with ticketing. Can somebody help me with the best/cheapest option? I've not been to London Town since the 1970's. Where and how do I buy a ticket? Which one do I buy? How much will it cost? Which website do I use? Lots of questions I know. Apologies. Ticketing is so...

I'm not politically interested at all but I've got to give credit to John Bercow over the years. I'm going to miss his presence in Parliament. Happy retirement John.

I caught these four guys trespassing. Do we have any Queen fans here? Freddie and the boys made my teenage years. Here's the full track... Proper bloke. Much missed. :( Oops, my editing is atrocious. Forgive me. Give it a listen though. I don't have no time for monkey business! :)

Can you add anymore?

I'd like to make use of Northern's Explorer 55 ranger offer but it requires proof of age. My Passport expired in 1999 and my driving licence is a tattered worn out green paper from the same era. Would these be acceptable as proof of age? (Apart from my wrinkles?!!) Is there any other way to...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-49908660 I'm going to miss the man! A good man. Probably the best on TV. God bless you. x

I was hoping to use Northern's newspaper offer for a trip to Ribblehead next Sunday but the service isn't listed. Has the service been cancelled?

I booked a return from Preston to Hebden Bridge with Northern's 10p offer. I've just checked my tickets for tomorrow and notice there seems to be an error in their issue. Somehow I've been issued a Manchester Victoria seat reservation? I will mention before boarding tomorrow but can anyone...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/northern-class-195-construction-introduction-updates.128808/ Why do trains not use the railway for delivery? It seems crazy seeing them being delivered by road.

https://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/BMB/HHB/tomorrow/0900/dep/tomorrow/1845/dep How? My sister recently retired to Heysham to take over the Heysham Tea Rooms. Come up and see me soon she said. But £100 quid, no way I'm going by train. How can rail companies be allowed to...

Bittern. Mallard and Kestrel are three I can think of. Are there anymore?

At last we can have a free pee at railway stations. No more clambering over the barriers at Glasgow Central, Liverpool Lime Street or Manchester Victoria when you've no change in your pocket. Thank you NR, TOCs or British Rail :-)

That was emotional. I'm no real tennis fan, apart from Wimbledon, but I'm going to miss him. Thank you Andy! Thank you for the experience.
