Northern have begun a pilot where station ticket machines will issue paper-roll tickets rather than credit card sized card tickets. The new tickets will be in the same style as those issued onboard and from EMR's 'smart kiosk'. Plain white paper roll will be used rather than orange stock. All...

I was booked to travel on Tuesday night on the sleeper train from Nice to Paris. I've just been informed by SNCF that the train is cancelled due to strike action. As a result, I've booked a combination of train and coach to make the journey instead. Is there any way that SNCF will cover the...

Should e-tickets be available from St Pancras to St Albans? I've tried both London Terminals and London Thameslink as origins but the Rail Staff Travel website refuses to issue them as e-tickets and only offers ToD. Is that correct? Thanks

Quick question - can you add Priv discount to a pay as you go KeyGo smartcard? Thanks

Apologies as this will likely be a very boring post to some. In my area (Yorkshire) it seems that in loads of places cable troughing is being renewed. Does anyone know why? I can't think of any links around the locations - electrified, non-electrified, upgraded and unchanged lines are all...

This came to mind as a result of the other thread on drivers using SG at signals, but I thought it was off-topic enough that a separate thread might be beneficial. I'm mainly asking from the perspective of a driver who wants to understand the signaller's position better. In training we're told...

I've got a flight booked with Ryanair from Stockholm (Vasteras) to Stanstead on a Friday in early April. The original schedule was a departure time of 20.25, and arrival of 21.45. This has now been amended to a departure time of 11.20 which isn't ideal for my plans. I got an email this evening...

Following on from this thread, so as not to distract from giving advice... Playing devil's advocate a little, 9.5 says: So seeing as the ticket was an Anytime, could it not be argued that the ticket was not time-restricted, but the discount was? In which case, the Railcard terms would apply...

Does the concept of 'minimum connection times' apply in Norway? I'm looking at a journey between Oslo and Bodo as follows: (Image shows departure at 16.02 from Oslo, arrival at 22.54 into Trondheim, 11 min transfer time, departure at 23.05 from Trondheim arriving 09.05 in Bodo) However I'm a...

In case this is of interest to anyone - Unfortunately I am unable to provide a public source for this information but it is genuine.

I'm travelling from Dover to Calais via P&O (and yes, if I could use a different company, I would - I don't have a choice unfortunately). I'm booked on the 0915 departure. They state on their website that check-in closes 90 minutes before departure. Unfortunately- the first train I can get into...

I've had a search but can't find anything recent. Are the 373s currently in service? If so, do they have any regular diagrams? Thanks :)

I'm planning on travelling from Faro to Lisbon in early August via Alfa Pendular. Has anyone on here used this before? I have a FIP coupon so if I use that it'll only cost me €4 for a reservation each way. Looking online I can see Advance fares are available on the day I want to travel for €9 -...

Split from this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/195s-truly-awful-not-a-step-forward.223797/ Commercial notice out for a potential order of an additional 20 195s, which could be delivered in bimode form...

As previously suggested, it appears Northern are now starting to contact customers who they suspect have submitted fraudulent refund requests. For example: https://mobile.twitter.com/matt_biker/status/1451552249763741719 From the attached letter received: I suspect we will be hearing more...

From this week, Northern will be trialling season e-tickets between Leeds and Harrogate (including intermediate stations). They will take the form of an aztec code, similar to an existing single/return e-ticket. The ticket can be added to apple wallet etc and a PDF version will be provided. A...

There seem to be a large number of people complaining on Twitter that their valid advance tickets are being shown as 'expired' in the Northern app, when they're clearly not. The company is aware of the issue, but are any other apps experiencing the same problem? Is the Northern app still based...

So I've managed to get hold (legally, I may add!) of a signal head to use for training purposes. The signal is fitted with these LED lamps. I've got them to light with a 12v power supply, but is that the correct voltage for the lamp? Is there a name for the socket that the bulb fits into? So far...

Quick question for a signaller - what is 3.5 working please? I've heard and seen the phrase used but I'm not sure what it relates to (I'm not involved in signalling, as you may have guessed!!) Thanks

I searched for a thread on this, but couldn't find one - so if I've missed one, apologies! Northern are trialling 'flexi-season' tickets between Harrogate and Leeds, starting from 14/07. More details at: https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/flexi Basically looks like a smartcard only version of...
