    Message to some photographers and videographers: Sorry people but i need to rant.

    Those trespassing incidents occurring while Flying Scotsman or other trains are passing are almost certainly going to be by the more determined ''enthusiast'', who will undoubtedly know more about Railway rules & regulations than most and will certainly know what a sign or yellow line means...

    Manchester Piccadilly Chaos 13-03

    What a load of nonsense!! Did you travel during the RWC or around Racing/Music Festival times. If all Football Fans were too much bother then the Railways would be keen to ban them from travelling, rather than sponsor clubs and offer discounted travel to it's Season Ticket holders encouraging...

    Flying Scotsman

    Consider it a ''Red Arrow'' of the railway. They cost a lot of money but promote the RAF and are used as a tool to encourage future generations into joining up. Working for the Railways for many will never be as glamorous or exiting as being a fighter pilot. But if Flying Scotsman encourages...

    Obese Travelers On Trains

    As one ticket doesn't guarantee you a seat then two tickets wouldn't guarantee you two seats. Would you be refunded if you couldn't get two seats together? Would you get half a refund if only one seat could be found? And what if the two seats were not next to each other or were at a table seat...

    Travelled on the next available train (after cancellation) but being charged.

    Najab, has argued that passengers should obtain permission to travel on another operators train from that operators Staff, if theirs has been cancelled. Does the previous Guard have authority to allow travel on the next available train regardless of operator? And that a different TOC shouldn't...

    Travelling on a Delayed train

    I have a ticket purchased days prior to travel from Wolverhampton I did not book a train. Had I chosen to travel on the earlier service then my journey would have been delayed by more than 45 minutes at it's destination. I have evidence of travelling on the delayed train.

    Travelled on the next available train (after cancellation) but being charged.

    Are you saying that the initial TOC'S conductor has authority to allow passengers to travel on the next train to there destination on another TOC? If you are then your long winding argument that has derailed the thread was pointless.

    Travelling on a Delayed train

    My ticket was bought days before the journey. A train I travelled on was delayed for 45 minutes and did not stop at my destination. It shouldn't matter if I had not intended to travel on that train and my ticket was not booked for a particular train if the delayed train had been the one I had...

    Travelling on a Delayed train

    On Monday I travelled to Reading on an off-peak return and split my tickets from Wolves splitting at Coventry & Banbury to Reading. The train I had planned to catch may have been on time. But an earlier service was delayed by approximately 45 minutes and I decided to catch this instead. Could I...

    Travelled on the next available train (after cancellation) but being charged.

    Are you suggesting that all passengers should approach the Guard of the next train to ask if they are allowed to travel? 50+ passengers were told to join the next service(Great Western) to Reading yesterday by a Cross Country guard as the train they were on was no longer going to stop there...

    Manchester United Football halt station 'closed until further notice'

    Old Trafford Halt is possibly the most inadequate service & station to a Football Ground I can think of. I think to deter passengers using the train that NRE and Manchester Piccadilly try to keep information on the service as quiet as possible as finding any takes a bit of searching. Most...

    Trivia: Silliest/stupidest reopening or service suggestions

    It's not just for Carmarthen why they want this line re-opened. It's far more the chance to travel to Swansea (80 miles away) and back by train in less than a day, connections onto fast Cardiff/London trains and not having to drive through bad roads. They say there is no point as there is not...

    West coast railways: deducting money from my bank account

    Have you clicked and unwittingly signed up for a '' Cash Reward Voucher'' style account? Such things pop-up on Train-line, a couple of TOC's and a few online shopping sites, after you purchased off them you are led believe you are singing up for discounts with that company when it's a third...

    When Virgin Trains are too busy to serve first class...

    Do they discreetly manage the overweight passengers? Virgin are one Rail company that has experience of such a thing.

    Great British Railway Journeys Series 7

    I'd suggest he should do a visit an A & E department to remove the book stuck to his hand. Does he need to keep it with him encase he forgets what he is doing on the train? I to do not understand why some posters are disappointed when the continuity of the train he's riding doesn't match...
