With a trip to Gloucester planned for next week, I've been checking Real time Trains to see how things have been recently. I've noticed that arrivals from Paddington are routinely being held at Gloucester Yard Junction, getting to Gloucester around 10 minutes late and there's nothing about this...

There's engineering work closing the line north of Gatwick all this weekend. Thameslink are running the trains north from Brighton and these are shown on Realtime Trains & Live Departures as terminating at Three Bridges. Thameslink are also apparently running a shuttle from Three Bridges to...

Mod note: Posts #1-5 were originally here - https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/first-to-close-southampton-depot.240120/page-3#post-5968672 Blue Star are holding a recruitment event (ends tomorrow). Similar to Bournemouth, there's a sign-on bonus. As a clue to the future network, they are...

The previous thread has been locked, so here's a new one. I've noticed that TfL buses are now appearing on the map. This is the area around Victoria for example.

The Transport Committee is launching a wide-ranging inquiry into the bus market in England outside London. It seems that Jeremy Corbyn's PMQs intervention has seen the industry gain a greater exposure. Whether this leads to anything remains to be seen. Most people seem to have fairly...

Picking up on a comment in London Underground, but placing here, as probably a more general thread.... Entering a journey from Gunnersbury to St. Mary Cray [link valid at time of posting] for an afternoon some days hence, I can get a 65-minute journey time, which sounds right, using the...

Hi! Back again with another PlusBus related query. According PlusBus FAQ 2, I can purchase a PlusBus add-on separately if I have already purchased my train tickets (in this instance, I wasn't sure whether it would be worth my while). The clerk at my local station (not on the Great Western...

Eurostar report that, on most weekdays till the middle of July, the 19:01 from St. Pancras to Paris (train 9050) will not get to Gare du Nord till 23:17. This is an hour later than timetabled (and also the same arrival time as the following 20:01 / 9054). Anyone know how they're managing...

Surprised there's not a running thread for this project (unless it's laying dormant many pages back). Anyway, Ian Visits has an interesting article about developments at Abbey Wood. I've just noted the piece about diverting utilities away from the former level crossing: Which indicates just...

Evening folks, any chance someone can shed some light on my attempts to force a Gold Card discount on a Birmingham PlusBus via an online booking? Neither Southern nor Chiltern seem able to discount the full £3.20 add-on down to the correct £2.10. I did a test booking with Southern and it does...

To avoid derailing the Class 313 thread further and to take up my discussion with Class 377/5, here's what the document has to say about Coastway East & West: The current trains between London Victoria and Littlehampton will continue at the same frequency as now. The new faster train (the...

I've not generally associated Arriva with words such as dynamism and innovation (although I know they were early adopters of mobile phone ticketing). However, I recently followed up a link to a nationwide live bus times map. Has anyone else seen this? It seems to cover everywhere - just zoom in...

Don't think this is on the forum anywhere (but it's been on the news, so you may have seen it). A major storm at 05:30 this morning in the Brighton - Worthing area brought a month's worth of rain in a couple of hours and a lot of lightning. The latter took out a railway substation at Hove and...
