    Digital Railcard Delivery Time

    Thank you. Perfect. The site had me worried when it says applications can take up to 5 days. Got my railcard ready to go.

    Journey completed fine. Barriers open when breaking journey. Ticket rejected by barriers when resuming journey, but was let through no questions asked.

    Break of Journey question

    Break of journey restrictions are contained within each ticket's restriction code. So, for example, code VN restricts BoJ on the outward portion. It says the restriction code is valid on Mondays-Fridays. nre.co.uk/vn I take this to mean I can use a ticket marked VN to break a journey on a...

    Another 175 catches fire at Deganwy 21Apr18

    Not bad, is it! The route for Conwy parkrun which I ended up attending is stunning. http://www.parkrun.org.uk/conwy/course/

    Another 175 catches fire at Deganwy 21Apr18

    The guard said the train had actually caught fire. I didn't see any flames myself- but all the action was happening under the train. Three fire crews turned up, plus an ambulance and police to close the adjacent road as the water supply was in the road. I turned down alternate transport- I was...

    Another 175 catches fire at Deganwy 21Apr18

    I was one of two passengers on that train this morning. Was an interesting start to the day! The guard was absolutely brilliant. The emergency services were there quickly. It was mentioned the train had a new engine installed the night before...

    TrainSplit has competition!

    Seems there's a new split ticket booking engine available. Do we reckon ticketclever.com is any good? Initial impression is that the user interface is good, but I am not yet sure if it's any good at finding split tickets.

    Trivia: Stations with platforms that are used by trains in both directions.

    Platform 5 at Milton Keynes Central is used all day in both directions.

    Longest non stop run in the UK? (and Europe if anyone knows)

    Nobody has mentioned London Midland. I would assume it's Northampton to Euston with two non-stop services, though there's no northbound equivalent.

    New London Midland Booking Engine

    It doesn't cope very well with situations when the same service calls at the same station twice- when expanding the view to show all stops it gives all the calling points until you reach the station for the second time- which is also what's shown on the map. Found searching for a Llandudno to...

    Milton Keynes Central to Burton on Trent 27th Feb

    If I end up on the 05:37, I may do that for a bit of variety. Thanks.

    Milton Keynes Central to Burton on Trent 27th Feb

    Of course. Doesn't cope with either itinerary, the earliest it'll give me is a 07:23 departure. Not surprised it doesn't work with the double-back but I would have expected it to return a result for the 05:37. Thanks again Romilly.

    Milton Keynes Central to Burton on Trent 27th Feb

    Which combination of tickets for the 06:41? Thanks Romilly. I may have to do that but it's depressingly early.

    Milton Keynes Central to Burton on Trent 27th Feb

    Hi Guys. I need to travel from Milton Keynes to Burton (up)on Trent on the 27th Feb I need to be there before 08:30 and would rather avoid catching the 05:37, but may do on cost ground if other options prove unfeasible. Trouble is the only other option is the 06:41, which involves...

    Should I go to the ticket office instead of using a machine?

    I only use TVMs when I have to. 1) when I don't have time to queue at the ticket office 2) when there is no open ticket office 3) when I am collecting ToD that I didn't buy far enough in advance to recieve by post I much prefer the human interaction, especially when buying tickets in the...
