Looking at various options for a trip to the Arctic Circle. Does anybody have experience doing it over the winter months? Looking to combine 'snow', Sleepers, etc, with at least some day light hours. All thoughts welcome, but please, not speculation. TIA.

I'm looking at Welwyn North to Gatwick in Jan for my mum (hence the Senior Railcard). I am offered an Anytime Return for £32.70 but suggests it can't be used on early morning return services. 09.19 is the first offered train. There is a second Anytime Return for £49.60 where earlier timed...

Left King's Cross, 12 late on a tight 4h22m timing to Edinburgh. Lost more time and got as far back as 17 down by Huntington. It's just reached Edinburgh only 1 late. Very impressive.

Did 1A09 (07.15 ex Leeds to Kings Cross) over run Stevenage this morning? RTT shows it passing Stevenage at 09.05, and OTT shows it stopped at the next block (is that what they're called?). It's now back in the platform, presumably having reversed. I hope it was a mistake and not an incident -...

I’m sure this has been asked before, and I did search, but is there a website showing all available uk tours. I’m specifically searching for a S&C routing from London. Thank you

I liked this and thought some others might too. From the publicly available Liverpool Echo Facebook page.

Can a return ticket be used from Stevenage to Newcastle travelling via Leeds on the outbound? If yes, how long can the 'break' be in Leeds? I understand (I think) that if I arrive in Leeds after the last train to Newcastle has left I can stay overnight and resume the next day. Can I stay longer...

Most Thameslink services (9***) approaching Finsbury Park in the Up direction typically use the Up Fast until reaching the junction just past signal K392, switching to the Up Slow. My question relates to the approach speed which I think (from a lay person) is far too defensive/restrictive. I...

I’m looking for a 1979 summer saturday (August) timetable for London to Cornwall. We travelled as a family to friends near Liskeard and I’m sure we used an HST; just looking for some confirmation. TIA

For a 21 year old part time student needing to travel 2 days per week... The cheapest ticket I can find is a Stevenage to Victoria Peak Return @ £19.70 with a 16-25 Rail Card. From what I can see a Stevenage to Kings Cross, plus the return tubes, costs £20.75 (16-25 RC) [15.75+2.50+2.50] Also...

With the new Bi Modes any reason why LNER can't offer a... London>few stops>Leeds>non stop to London via Hambleton service in return it could go... London>Non stop Leeds via Hambleton>few stops>London Would give an improved journey time from Leeds. A fast from Wakefield (albeit via Leeds)...

Hi all, Stevenage to Reading, £40.50 Off Peak return, is, in my view, good value. About 90 mins for what can be a 2+ hour drive. However, I considered going 1st class. I thought the general rule of thumb was Std + 50% and at £60ish I might have been tempted. However, with only an Anytime Day...

Hi All, Where does the escape route take you too, please? The one accessed from the mid point of the Northern Line public lift. I'm aware there's a (non-public) lift from the platforms to street level, which I presume uses the original shafts, and I also presume there are (non-public stairs)...

Hi All, Just found out my direct Paddington to Penzance train (21/7 1C76) is stopping short at Plymouth, followed by a change on to 2C24 which shows as a Class 158/168/170/175 . Anybody know if the London train will be 5, 9 or 10 coaches. And will the Penzance train be an IET and only timed as...

Hi All, Not rail related unfortunately, but I do have a number (approx 100) of 35mm colour slides (c. 1969) that I'd like to convert. During this lockdown period all our local shops are closed. Any advice on which companies I can use. I'm really concerned about the slides being 'lost in the...

Here are my ideas to fix the problem, with some consideration for costs and planning permission. 1) Hertford Loop - 4 slow per hour. ALL 4 stop at Gordon Hill to allow a FAST service through. They stop again at Hertford to allow the next FAST through. The 4 FAST services would be the...

Hi All, Mk 1 and 2 coaches all had a variant that included a corridor version. Did any of the Mk 3 coaches include this option. Or indeed a brake version. I know of a Mk 3 variant that had a corridor version, but I can't think of a brake. Edinburgh > Glasgow push pulls maybe?

5Q83 just passed Stevenage at 15.30 is 18 coaches (2*9) and sounds like it’s on Diesel power.
