I'm travelling to Oban in the summer and keen to travel on a 153 with their more comfortable seating (in my opinion at least). Is the only way to reserve a seat in this coach to also reserve a cycle space at the same time? It seems a shame to take away availability for someone with a bike when I...

Are there any preserved buses running about with the Leyland TL11 engine? I'd be rather interested to get a feel for what the original Pacer used to sound like before they were re-engined.

Apart from the differing max speed, traction motors and ability to provide ETS, are there any other differences between 73/0s and 73/1s? Do they have differing driving controls/characteristics?

Hello all, I'm currently having a problem with Eurostar in regard to claiming delay compensation. I was travelling on the 09:22 St Pancras - Paris (booked arrival 12:47) on 10th September which I know for a fact arrived at 13:50. This was corroborated by both my phone and on-board clocks, and...

Does anyone have the National Rail Timetable between December 2016 & May 2017 that they would be willing to upload and supply a link to? Unfortunately I forgot to download it when it was available. Many thanks!

I'm considering travelling on the WAG tomorrow evening between Cardiff & Shrewsbury for an evening meal, but it appears to be too late to make a reservation. From experience, should there be space on a Tuesday evening?

Taken from the 'Class 387' thread: Is the plan for these to be replaced by 387/2s and if so, when is this expected to begin? Many thanks.

I seem to remember that a while ago, East Coast had an offer where you could upgrade for a reasonable price on their Newark stopper services on a week day. I can't seem to find any mention of it now though so I'm just wondering whether it's still available but just not very well documented.

After a brief failure at Radlett Junction, a rather tatty looking 60017 heads north past Harpenden with 6F93 11:03 St. Pancras - Ketton: http://www.flickr.com/photos/richa2002/7788448652/

Hello all I plan to take the 06:59 Luton to Sheffield service (arriving 09:04) using an advance ticket. Using a separate advance ticket, I then plan to take the 09:11 Sheffield - Manchester Piccadilly service. Unfortunately it's not possible to book through all the way from Luton to Manchester...

On Christmas Eve, I'm wanting to travel from Stevenage to Newcastle which involves getting the 09:22 from Stevenage as far as Doncaster and getting the 11:09 from Doncaster to Newcastle. I will be travelling on a Standard Super Off Peak Return but what I'm wondering is whether I could get a £25...

Hello Just wondering if anyone knows what's the speed limit of the loco-hauled MENTOR test train? Is it the full 100mph or is this reduced when testing is actually taking place? Thanks in advance!

Hi all Has anyone here saved the timetable .pdfs ever since they were uploaded to here: http://www.networkrail.co.uk/aspx/3828.aspx. I would be interested in having copies before the current one. Thanks!

Here are two videos showing 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' on the Palatine railtour which ran from Victoria to Sheffield. 47760 then did the return trip. Both videos are in HD so I recommend that option. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozHNXlB441w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2hTaTaV6UE Hope you...

Managed to get a video of this unusual convoy to Swanage this evening with 45060, 26007, 20107 & 31108 in tow. Looked and sounded great as can be seen by the video below. I recommend the HD option if your computer can handle it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUArb5w8r38

On what has been the best day weather wise so far this year, I managed to catch 37423 on the saloon in some nice afternoon light at Luton Hoo, the photo can be found at: http://www.richard-armstrong.fotopic.net/p56959895.html Hope you like it. That will probably be the last photo I take with...

This is a new and exciting game. From the very subtle mysterious clue below, guess which band I like:

It would seem that the possibility of viewing High Definition footage is now available on YouTube. Ever since buying an HD camcorder in October, I have uploaded some videos to YouTube in HD format but have been downsized to standard definition but for the first time these can now be seen in...

Has anyone got any photographic location suggestions? I'm at Southport at the moment so I guess the logical closest place is the WCML. Thanks in advance.
