Is a London Terminals from Letchworth valid at Old Street or will the barriers reject the ticket?

Went to Tonbridge with the aim of catching 70000 "BRITANNIA" on its lunchex tour around Kent. Caught a couple of other moves too. On a day of almost unbroken sunshine, it goes without saying that the sun hid its face when 70000 passed through. 2023-08-15 70000 TONBRIDGE by KING COBRA 92, on...

Hi, Planning to chase steam around Kent and London on Tuesday. Will the return leg be valid via Clapham Jct and would I be able to leave the station there before recommencing my journey a while later? If not, could I break my journey at WAE and then buy a return ticket from WAT? Edit : Found an...

A colleague of mine wishes to travel from Arlesey to Oxford Circus next Tuesday. They don't really want the expense of a one day travel card, so what will be the cheapest option for them? They don’t have a debit/credit card, so can’t do contactless on TfL.

I'm planning to travel to Southampton on 28th December. The forum ticket site gives an itinerary from Arlesey that includes Blackfriars to Waterloo via LUL. Would the ticket also be valid via London Bridge and Waterloo East by National Rail?

Cracking day down at the Spa Valley with the Caledonian Railway's finest - plus a couple of resident locos. The ale on the train was pretty good too. :) 2022-04-02 419 POKEHILL FARM a by KING COBRA 92, on Flickr 2022-04-02 419 POKEHILL FARM c by KING COBRA 92, on Flickr 2022-04-02 828...

With heritage railways not reopening until April and May, I used my first day of "freedom" to venture off my home turf and point my camera at the modern railway scene. 2021-03-30 66783 4M29 ASHWELL by KING COBRA 92, on Flickr 2021-03-30 66778 4L04 ASHWELL by KING COBRA 92, on Flickr...

Hi, Does anyone know of a source of gradient profiles in Ireland? Specifically the Belfast to Dublin main line.

I'm sure similar questions have been asked before but a search hasn't turned up anything. Planning a day trip to Didcot from Letchworth the Sunday after next. Best price I can find is Travelcard to West Drayton and then off peak return to Didcot. For that combination of tickets to be valid, does...

Knew nothing of this event until I was out photographing 45699 on Sunday when I saw a roadside hoarding advertising it. As I was only 11 minutes away, I popped in to spend a pleasant few hours before 45699 headed back to Burton-on-Trent. A few pictures taken during the day. STATFOLD BARN...

NR enquiries gives an itinerary departing KGX at 14:33 with LNER, changing at SVG for LET so obviously ok for...

Made a couple of visits to Leighton Buzzard over the Bank Holiday weekend for the first of the line's centenary galas. Nice little event but just a shame that what little sun there was, chose to come out just at the wrong time for photographs. DOLL BARCLAY 0-6-0T DOLL 1641/1919 by KING COBRA...

Spent a few days in France riding and photographing narrow gauge steam. Visited two remaining sections of the metre gauge Chemin de Fer Départemental du Vivarais. The Voies ferreés du Velay (VFV) between Raucoules - Brossette and Saint Agrève, and the Chemin de Fer du Vivarais (CFV) between...

I note on the Eurostar website that there are multiple cancellations most days throughout February and March. They say these are due to operational reasons. Does anyone know the operational reasons behind these cancellations and if the disruption is set to continue into April when I’m due to...

I will be travelling from Letchworth to London tomorrow on a one day travel card. On the way home is a break of journey permitted outside the travel card area?
