Thornaby Station, In it’s present location, was built in 1882 and opened as South Stockton before changing it’s name to Thornaby-on-Tees in 1892, when the town received it’s “Town Charter“.

Well it's taken some time, but it finally looks like the ball is starting to roll. I'm guessing the planned location will be near the A1043 (Nunthorpe by-pass) giving easy access from both the A171 (from Guisborough) & A172 (from Stokesley), based of the reference to running more trains to...

Just watching the rolling news into the events of last night, when a Police Office was killed in a road collision. I noticed from the aerial coverage, the accident appears to have taken place on the road that leads to the former rail crossing at Ufton Nervet. The replacement road bridge can...

It was interesting to read of the extra services put on in the Leicester area the other week when Leicester City were having their Victory parade, and the local TOC's rightly being applauded for their efforts. Forward a few weeks, and here in the North-east England are playing Australia at the...

The Airshow that was due to be held August 2015 (cancelled due to the events at Shoreham) has been re-arranged. It's now due to be held on May 28th 2016. Have any improvements been made to the Station to allow it to be used on the day? Allegedly, the bridge was unable to cope will large...

The wife and I are looking to have a day out. The destination is not that important, it's more about the journey/scenery. I've looked into travelling to Ravenglass via Carlisle, and one of the routes back is via Carnforth and Leeds, instead of coming back via Carlisle, but the "Select" button...

Excess fare is a new concept for me, so this is the Question. I've booked two advance's, Eaglescliffe to King's Cross on a Grand Central service with the return on a Virgin Service (20.00 from KGX)via Darlington, Due to the fact the return is via Darlington it would be more convenient* to...

I've just been reading a series of posts in the Disputes & Prosecutions sections and mention has been made about railcards not being valid if the railcard is not signed. The T&C's seam to confirm this, and I've noticed it also re-affirms this on the card itself. So, what happens in the case of...

I've just been reading another forum related to an event my wife and I are attending at the Millennium stadium. The discussion surrounds getting back to Reading after the event, and the fact that due to the queuing situation, in the past, some people have not been allowed on the platform in time...

Something strange has happened in the recent Timetable Change. I was looking at booking a journey from Thornaby(TBY) to Reading(RDG) and noticed that Darlington(DAR) didn't feature in many results, I thought it was just an anomaly, so out of curiosity I did a search TBY to King's Cross (KGX)...
