Coach A is usually standard class with Pathfinder and dining / 1st class with UKR. As to which way round the train will be; orientation will depend on how it returns off the "Harbourmaster" tour tomorrow.

The 25 was in the shed last week with a missing drivers window at one end, all carefully covered up with a plastic sheet taped over it so guessing it's not likely to be out any time soon.

Strangely enough, I am in Budapest as well (might have something to do with a certain 47!) and noticed that 56117 was still outside the shed looking like it was in exactly the same place that it was six years ago

Up until around five years ago, 56117 was round the back of the depot at Budapest-Keleti, still in Fertis livery and carrying its 56 number (it might still be there). I believe it was meant to become 659 003 but nothing ever progressed with this.

56117 has never worked in Hungary; 56101 is 659 001 and 56115 is 659 002 and are now owned by V-Hid

Probably 1455, there are only three blue ones; the others are 1413 and 1424.

The 8:20 (Sat / Sun only), 9:20 and 13:20 are all 1400 out of São Bento, a class 26 electric usually brings the stock down from from Contumil.

Loco hauled trains most definitely still operating. If you are on Facebook, ask to join "The Official Portuguese Railway Appreciation Group", there is a pdf in the files section with all loco hauled trains on. (technological difficulties / incompetence are preventing me from posting the file on...

My instructor (back in 1985!) said that he could teach a 12 year old to merely signal trains but there's a great deal more to the job than that.

On the contrary, DB (and other operators in Germany) are quite happy scanning the QR code without a quibble (that is assuming that you have added your journeys correctly). I've lost count of the number of issues such as stamping the wrong bit and arguments about validity in the past with paper...

I always keep an eye on fuel prices and generally start looking around for a good price once the gauge gets down to about half a tank then, when I do get fuel, usually fill the tank right up It does help that there are four garages within a short walk from the house but I usually manage to get...

I think it's a reserved path for the Belmond Pullman trip to Chatsworth House though a cursory glance at their website indicates that it's not running tomorrow.

It was, and it was wedged.... The HST set terminated at Exeter St Davids with the 150 being shunted to the same platform after the HST had arrived from Paignton.

I would suggest a trip on the Tábor to Bechyně line. It runs from a separate platform outside Tábor station and is often worked by a centre cab class 113 electric loco. https://flic.kr/p/2kTyyzq There is also a combined road rail bridge to enjoy on the approach to Bechyně. https://flic.kr/p/2juTjRx

According to UKR on their Facebook page, it is hoped to be 67005.

Similar tale here; booked passes for two people via Topcashback (Chrome on Windows 10), paid by Visa credit card. Everything worked as it should, got the email with the codes within minutes and the cashback tracked within a couple of hours as well. Now it's a question of keeping fingers crossed...

The MÁV app is easily the best one I've used. I spent a whole week in Hungary back in August buying all my tickets with FIP discount via the app, the biggest problem was making sure there was a strong data signal when making a purchase though I generally found coverage in Hungary pretty good...

Yes you can. There are a huge list of discounts to choose from which will then give you the correct fare, including a reservation if needed. If a pass such as Interrail or FIP is held it will also confirm where no additional payments are needed

If you download the MÁV app, it will tell you which trains are available for Budapest Pass Holders (you can set it up in the passengers and discounts menu)
