    On Saturday 28th October, I need to travel from Wien to Chur, Switzerland. My initial plan was to take the Railjet through the Arlberg Pass to Buchs and change for an IR train to Chur. However, it seems there are multiple sets of engineering works on that date beteween Salzburg and Kufstein and...

    Expiry time on travelcard issued on The Key

    Yesterday, I purchased an outboundary day travelcard for travel today, and loaded it onto The Key*. I've done this many times before with point-to-point returns and seasons, but not with travelcards before, so thought I would look at the ticket information out of curiosity. I was interested to...

    Handheld 'S' Car Stop Marker

    At Tonbridge Platform 1, when the Redhill and Strood services are to share the platform, a member of platform staff will signal the arrival from Redhill to stop in the correct position using a handheld 'S' Car Stop marker - the same size and shape as a dispatch bat, but with a white-on-blue 'S'...

    Purchasing Zone U123* tickets for ToD

    Hi, Does anyone know of any websites that sell tickets to Zone U123* London? Most don't offer that destination, and the only one I found that does (LNER) still only offers a London Terminals ticket after searching. Thanks

    Advance purchase A after date appearing on tickets bought on day of travel

    Sorry for the obtuse title of this thread but a little hard to succinctly describe this. I was always under the impression that an 'A' at the end of a ticket's validity date indicated that the ticket had been purchased in advance of the date of validity, presumeably to flag the ticket to...

    Some pretty nasty disruption, mainly affecting the Charing X lines through London Bridge this evening, including one train that was stuck between London Bridge and Bricklayers Arms for around 50 minutes which eventually returned to London Bridge.

    Cannon Street Disruption 25/11

    Fairly bad disruption this morning at Cannon Street with reports of a train that failed on the approach to the station due to disruptive passengers. Varying reports on Twitter (so a heavy shovelful of salt is necessary) of a passenger breaking into a train cab and a train horn getting stuck...

    Booking engine that allows different via points on outward/return legs?

    Does anyone know of a booking engine that allows different via points to be specified for the outward/return legs, ideally also allowing one to specify a stopover time? Something similar to what bahn.de offers, but that can sell National Rail tickets? Thanks

    Breach of Impartiality Rules?

    I have been trying to book a journey from A to B. There are two sets of fares with different routing options: Via London (More Expensive) Via C (Less Expensive) If it matters, these fares are set by different operators. Having shopped around a number of different TOC websites, and having in...

    What are these? (Metal cylinders next to track)

    I went for a walk a few days ago, and saw these tanks next to a railway line (this was taken from the bottom of the embankment with the railway line behind the tanks). This is a section of relatively high speed, gently curving track. There were some sidings nearby many years ago. Does anyone...

    Sevenoaks - Strood Permitted Routes

    In the last few years, I have several times traveled from Sevenoaks to Strood using an Off-Peak Day Return routed 'Not Via London'. In each case I normally catch a service to Tonbridge and then pick up the direct service via the Medway Valley to Strood. I don't think I've ever actually put this...

    Class 700 SDO: Shoreham Kent

    I was on an 8 car Class 700 working a Sevenoaks to Victoria service just now, and I was surprised to see that at Shoreham, only the front 7 coaches had the doors released. I'm sure when I've traveled this route before, that on those occasions all doors were released. Does anyone know if this is...

    This morning I needed to travel from Old Street to Stevenage and return. Having checked on NRE and BRFares before hand, the cheapest ticket is the Super Off Peak Day Return for £7.75 (with a railcard).

    Replacement Buses Not in Timetable Swindon - Reading 3/12

    I've been trying to plan a journey from Kemble into Paddington on Sunday 3rd December. The GWR website advises that replacement buses are running between Swindon and Reading on that date, but no times have been put on NRE or on RTT yet, and instead journey planners either are throwing up an...
