    Flixbus Discussion

    Hello forumers, I just stumbled across this thread as I was looking for info on whether Flixbus served Folkestone? It's listed on the drop down menu on the app, but not sure there are any services stopping there. Someone told me Flixbus used the motorway service area just off the M20 by...

    TGV Lyria - paper ticket with passenger name on it - is it transferable?

    I travelled on Lille-Lyon TGV last week and was asked for ID although I did have an e-ticket. I think the ID was to check that I was the named holder of the carte avantage but I can't be too sure.

    Cambrian Timetable June 2021

    Yes, I asked TfW on Twitter and they said that the timetables hadn't been finalised for after 12th September yet. But it would be unfortunate if the one time when I need to be in the area I can't use the train...

    Cambrian Timetable June 2021

    I'm currently trying to plan a trip on the Cambrian Line to Criccieth in the week 13th-20th September, but there don't seem to be any trains at all running that week! Very confused.

    [Trivia] Most Recently reopened stations on reopened lines

    A friend and I were trying to work out which the most recently reopened station was that met the following criteria: -Must be in England -Must be located on wholly new line (i.e. not on a converted freight line, or on a loop constructed off existing line) -Must be a replacement for a formerly...

    Possible routes once Turin–Lyon high-speed railway start service

    Yes potentially, as a branch off of the Barcelona - Zürich Nightjet in the first instance. Might not be necessarily Nightjet though. ISTR the previous overnight service was Renfe/SNCF operated. Although Renfe doesn't look like it will return to the night train game anytime soon, it's possible...

    Possible routes once Turin–Lyon high-speed railway start service

    I have spent some time wondering if a Barcelona - Perpignan - Montpellier - Valence TGV - Grenoble - Torino - Milano service would make sense running via Valence TGV-Grenoble direct chord (which currently sees no regular use) and Montmélian chord. This might be quicker than via Lyon which would...

    Services that dont seem to make sense...To me, anyway

    As I understand, the reason the Hexham service runs past Nunthorpe to Danby is because the National Park Centre is there. I took that train last Saturday, 2 passengers got off at Battersby, 3 of us got off at Danby with a similar number waiting for the return...

    Is there going to be a direct "Northern Connect" service from Liverpool to Leeds?

    This was a new service originally planned to call at Liverpool Lime Street, Huyton, Manchester Victoria, Rochdale, Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, Halifax, Bradford Interchange. It was due to begin in December 2019 but there was no guarantee of it going as far as Leeds. It's far from guaranteed this...

    Completely Empty Trains

    A few years ago, perhaps 2013, I got on the Sundays Only Metrocentre-Darlington at Stockton, 142-operated, for Teesside Airport. I was the only passenger on board until Eaglescliffe.

    Northern Unit Refurbishments

    I have it written down on my aide-mémoire post-it that there should eventually be 18 150s in 3-car formation and 54 in 2-car formation. Although that information comes from the Franchise agreement so may now be out of date.

    Northern Unit Refurbishments

    Had 155347 on a busy service to Knaresborough on Friday 24th, which it was working sans 153.20180424_133910 by Frothy posted 24 Apr 2018 at 14:47 The legroom is still tight as ever! I think the top part of the seat cover will dirty quite easily, being a lighter shade.

    Help! Any options in France but OuiGo?

    Having tried this several times, you cannot avoid the high airport tram fee by using any other public transport. You can walk from the Airport to an out of town park-and-ride site, but there is no other direct option than the tram as TCL ended direct bus services to the airport when they built...

    Northern Class 195: Construction/Introduction Updates

    I had imagined that the 195s might come in a variant 'Northern Connect' livery, but perhaps that delight still awaits us when the Connect network is launched.

    December 2017 Timetable

    Any news on whether CrossCountry will be implementing its consulted timetable? They backed down from it after Humza Yousaf challenged them, but does this mean business as usual, i.e. the current timetable will continue? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
