    National Rail Timetable Mileage File

    Network Rail have split the mileages from their timetable files out into a separate file (they have made substantial changes to the arrangement of the timetable, but those aren't my concern here). The NRT web page is here, and the mileage file is here. They seem to have simply copied across the...

    Route restriction data

    Would anyone be able to tell me what prevents a "Greater Anglia Only" anytime day return from London to Cambridge (as shown on brfares.com) from being offered by sites such as nre.co.uk* for itineraries involving TfL Rail services? London-Stratford-Tottenham Hale-Stansted-Cambridge is a valid...

    How does a change of route excess affect the validity period?

    How does a change of route excess affect the validity period? Say, I buy a Chester-Stockport anytime day return with route "via Altrincham" for £14.60 and pay the appropriate amount to excess the outward part to route "any permitted". There is no "any permitted" anytime day return, so this...

    National Routeing Guide maps

    I've made some updated versions of the the PDF routeing guide maps (based on the most recent "pdfmaps" here, although I can't remember if I used this or a version such as the one Owlman uploaded in this thread. I have the PDFs in two formats: maps_all.pdf - a 10.43MB PDF file containing each...

    Mandatory Timing Points on the Timetable Feed

    I wonder if someone could clear something up for me about the timetable feed available from ATOC's site. If I look at a Newton-Glasgow train on a Sunday (such as the 12:09), it shows it passing through three juctions between Pollokshields West (PLKLHDW) and Glasgow Central (GLGC): Muirhouse...

    Live departure board oddity

    I looked at live departure board for Chester last night. It gave the status of the 22:56 for Holyhead as 22:39 (or something like that) instead of being on time or anything like that. I then checked on realtimetrains, and it was shown as having left Chester 17 minutes early (again, I don't...

    Train hits platform buffers at Chester - platform now being rebuilt

    Train hits platform buffers at Chester - platform now being rebuilt Last November, a train went through the buffers at platform 1 in Chester and caused some damage to the bit of "platform" behind it (it's not accessible from public areas, but I can't think of a better term), as well as to a...

    1934 Cardiff-Holyhead in Chester

    Does anyone know what's happening with the 1934 from Cardiff? It usually gets to Chester at 2234 from the Wrexham direction and sits there for 20 minutes before leaving again. This week, it's arrived at around the departure time from the Crewe/Manchester direction, so people stand around on the...

    Shotton - Chester

    I've included three questions here, each only loosely related to the others. Please let me know if they should would be better off in separate threads. I have a season ticket between Shotton and Chester. Could someone please tell me whether or not it would be valid on the line to Wrexham. My...
