    Chesterfield - Glasgow via Warrington

    I'm helping a relative book rail tickets from Chesterfield to Glasgow. They are looking to travel as cheaply as possible so have ruled out the direct XC service as more expensive, and longer than travelling via Warrington. They are happy to walk between Central and Bank Quay stations in...

    Doubled Up Pacers On Hope Valley Services (Sunday 16/0/15)

    I'd assumed the EMT issues being referred to were the staff shortages which occured on Sun 2nd Aug leading to cancellation of Nor - Liv service west of Nottingham. The short forming is generally a weekday problem when stock is most stetched.

    I'll be in Moscow in October. Anyone got any experience of taking photos / video in Moscow mainline rail terminals / or the metro? Any bad experiences with security, police, railway staff, unwanted attention from locals?

    EMT disruption this weekend: overtime ban?

    Most Northern Leeds - Nottingham services I saw yesterday were strengthened to 2 x 158 or 158 + 153 to provide additional capacity between Sheffield and Nottingham. In the evening, RTT does not show replacement bus provision for the cancelled EMT services once Northern had stopped running. The...

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/8614049@N04/17758065406/in/album-72157654872192628/ Photographed a double 153 on Leeds - Nottingham at Chesterfield on 17/05/15. Highly unusual - 150s are the usual sub for the 158s on Leeds to Nottingham.

    Paris - Belfort Diesels (CC 72100)

    I'll be in the Belfort area later this summer. Hoping for a ride Belfort to Paris. I gather they're living on borrowed time. Will I be too late for a ride?

    Trivia: Unusual timetabled services?

    The difference is that AGA serve Great Yarmouth daily as do XC at Paignton whereas EMT only serve Scarborough at summer weekends.

    Chesterfield - Aberdeen via London

    I'm using the sleeper to / from Aberdeen next month from Euston. To avoid a late night / early morning at Crewe I'm travelling from Chesterfield via St Pancras / Euston. I've bought the sleeper fare already Euston - Aberdeen and back. I'm now looking into buying advance singles from...

    Breaking Journey at Chesterfield (Sheffield - Rayleigh)

    Wuppertal Suspension Railway

    I'm thinking about a short break to Wuppertal this July, primarily to ride the suspension railway. I'm struggling to find a reliable website in English providing info on planned closures etc. The english part of http://www.schwebebahn.de/ does not seem to be regularly updated...

    Cancelling services short of the destination

    In order to do this passengers at Great Malvern would need to know that the service had been turned short at Worcester and that the return journey south to Bristol and beyond was still serving Ashchurch. The OP stated that the boards at Great Malvern simply stated cancelled. Not everyone...

    Rayleigh - Twickenham

    For the outward journey I've decided to purchase the travelcard for £20.10 from Rayleigh to save the need to change trains at Shenfield and Romford, and I'll be able to use it around London for the rest of the day. One further question I have, is a travelcard purchased from Rayleigh (with...

    Rayleigh - Twickenham

    I need to make a return journey from Rayleigh to Twickenham - outward journey on 31/12 and return the following day 01/01. Period returns and cheap advanced fares are not available between Rayleigh and London and as as a result National Rail Enquiries is suggesting an £18.10 single fare each...
