    Any bets on whether this train will run? (26/05 0910 Marylebone - Snow Hill)

    Have to head up to Birmingham tomorrow, so I thought I would get 1G17 - 0910 London Marylebone - Birmingham Snow Hill, as it only stops twice between. I see National Rail is a little contradictory: Anyone have any idea whether it will run or not? Anyone fancy taking any bets? :lol:

    Delay Repay Dispute with VTEC

    Hi all, Recently claimed back on my weekly season ticket due to the cancellation of nearly every single service on 9th March, due to the wires at Retford coming down.

    London Spezial - Return Journey Only

    Just a quick question, is it possible to get a London Spezial ticket for the return journey? ie. If I wanted to get a Spezial from London - Berlin, seperately buy a ticket to Frankfurt, would I be able to get a Spezial from Frankfurt - London without the London - Frankfurt part? Thanks :)

    Photo Opportunities near the A1

    Hi all, I've nabbed my girlfriend's nice camera (nicer than my standard digital one anyway!), and I'm driving from York to Hertford tomorrow, pretty much straight down the A1. I was gonna stop by and take a few photos of the railway from a road, and was wondering if anyone had any good ideas...

    Cat Cafes

    I don't know if anyone has heard about these new cafes, but I've been to three of them this year with my partner. There are currently four in the UK (London, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Brighton), and the idea is that you pay a small cover charge (around £5-£7) and you can spend an hour or so...

    General Gaming Thread

    Thought I'd make a thread where fellow gamers can share what they're into at the moment, because I'm interested what variety we have! At the moment, I'm massively into Dota 2 (a MOBA by Valve), with most of my time into that. Aside from that, I have a variety of different games on Steam, but...

    91111 Diagrams

    Now that 91111 has a WWI 'For The Fallen' livery, I thought I might as well make a thread for anyone who wants to track it down, and for anyone with TRUST or other sources to help us all out ;) I understand that people will only know the evening before/morning of the day in query, so can...

    I'm travelling from Lincoln to York tomorrow morning, on the first off peak train I can get, as I'm going straight into work at York on the return portion of an Off Peak Return. Usually I'd get either the 0910 to Newark Northgate, 0915 to Doncaster or 0925 to Retford (if the guard lets me travel...

    Interrailing 2014 Report

    Decided to let the old thread die and make a new one for my official trip report from 1st July - 3rd August 2014. Because it's a whole month, I'll probably give a bit of a synopsis of each of the days and post some pictures we took. The train photos from Flickr are mine and the others from...

    Upgrading a ticket

    Hi all, My dad has bought two standard advances from Hertford North to Camarthen (and return), from the East Coast website, and he now wants to go First Class instead of Standard. Normally (for journeys on East Coast) you can upgrade it online, but the option isn't there for that this time...
