Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/worst-class-in-service.235049/#post-5776909 Class 91s and Mk4 coaches. Fine 8 years ago but certainly not now, however My opinion is probably clouded by the staff who work them. The staff working the Azumas are much better.

Good morning I’d like to buy a Heart of wessex Day Ranger for travel in late August. Is it possible to get it as a e-ticket? I tried on the GWR website but it only offered post. This is the ranger in question: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/pr75310d0a040002014434542455b740.aspx

Apologies if this is the wrong sub-forum or there is a master thread about book with confidence that I’ve missed, but I have a question about the book with confidence scheme and EMR are not being very helpful. I’ve booked an advance single for Thursday 14th April and want to surrender the...

I was travelling on an LNER service this evening from York to London and my ticket, an advance single booked via the LNER website and collected from a Northern ticket machine states: “On specified LNER trains & connections” Then next to time time of my train it says “Virgin Trains EC” The...

Normal I use the ticket office to buy tickets, or have them posted or use Print@Home, and rarely have reason to use Ticket On Departure (TOD). When I collected my advance tickets from an LNER machine earlier this week at York the details of my reservations were in a tiny font which was blurred...

Good morning all I am booked on 1215 Paddington to Cheltenham (advance single) which has been cancelled, GWR say I can get the 1015 (too early) or the 1415 I was then going from Cheltenham to Birmingham at 1511 (XC advance) later after dropping something with a family member, but if I get the...

Hello, I have recently got an Oyster card and was wondering if it is still possible to have my 16-25 railcard added to the Oyster card. If this is possible, where can I go to get this done, as London Underground have no longer got any ticket offices?

Good evening all, I was wondering if a Lincoln to Selby Off Peak return is valid via Leeds? For example, because there is a reduced ECML service tomorrow and Hull Trains services have been retimed can I go Lincoln>Doncaster>Leeds>Selby?

On Saturday 4th Feb 2017, it appears East Midlands Trains are extending some Nottingham to St Pancras trains to start from Grantham. An example of this is http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C80049/2017/02/04/advanced I can't understand why they are doing this? There appears to be...

I am seeing reports on Virgin Trains East Coast's website that trains are disrupted due to a fire on a train. Does anyone know what combusted today? It mustn't have been too serious because the train I was on (1510 Hull to King's Cross) was allowed through with only a 30ish minute delay.

Tomorrow I'm booked on a Virgin Pendolino for the first time. According to the seating plan in the VT website, I'm in one of the 'limited/no view' seats. Although it seems self explanatory, just how bad is the visibility from these seats? Is it simply a pillar or is it just half a window...

Next week myself and some others are travelling from Tiverton Parkway to St Ives. We are using a family and friends railcard since one of the passengers is under 16, making it 3 adults and 1 child. The NRE journey planner is quoting a fare of £49.80 for an Off Peak Day Return, using First...

Evening all, Do FGW still produce the timetable book for all their services and does anyone know which stations it can be obtained at?

I'm intrigued by what appears to be the train stopping at Rochdale but then passing (or passing through but then stopping) as shown by many trains on Real Time Trains, such as this one. My question is: do the trains actually leave Rochdale then manage to do some loop around and pass through it...

Evening all, Myself and a friend are travelling on a Super Off Peak Return (Not Via London) £31.20, from Peterborough (PBO) to Royston (RYS) with Two Together Railcard. Is the following itinerary valid, since I am confused by the restrictions? Outward Journey PBO 0950 - ELY 1030...

Hi, On the National Rail page for the East Midlands rover the map states that the ticket can be used as far south on the West Coast Main Line as far as Bletchley. Is it permitted to use Southern between Bletchley and Milton Keynes Central on this ticket?

This morning I passed through Peterborough and saw that the 1028 to Liverpool was sat in platform 7 with passengers being detrained after what looked like several failed attempts to restart the engine. Does anyone know what happened and how they got rid of the unit because it wasn't there...

Hi all, I bought the East Coast Main Line Route from Steam during the sale. I have just created a new free roam scenario and there are weird stripey things across the track (see attached screenshot). Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it? I haven't edited the route at all.

Hi I'm currently working on my A2 studies and interested in a career in the railway industry, but was wondering if there is a minimum age to work in the industry and what potential pathways there are in to the industry. Thanks in advance
