Is the track layout being relaid/rationalised this coming week, or is the work less extensive? Thanks.

Hello, one of my daughters is trying to claim delay repay from South Western Railway for the first time. She's made an account, then gone to the claim section and entered the following as requested: Your details - check Journey - check Ticket - uploaded OK, check Compensation - check On the...

Just a quickie; asking for my brother-in-law. They had travelled from Bodmin Parkway to Padd; held split tickets (splitting at Swindon). Train arrived 37 late at Padd. Would delay repay be only on the Swindon - Padd portion of the split? Thanks.

Another current thread (about Nottingham being out on a limb) mentioned the demise of stations with the Victoria suffix. Can anyone added to this list? Still open: London Victoria Manchester Victoria - though a shadow of its former self Southend Victoria Closed and long gone: Norwich Victoria...

Was watching an episode of Law & Order last night. Someone had driven onto a railway line attempting suicide; some 15 were killed in the resulting crash. But there was no involvement (or mention) of the British Transport Police. I'd have thought they'd be involved quite extensively in such a case.

There were only two loaded wagons on this train today. Was this train the last of this current traffic flow?

Just wondering, as I've see a few recently. Have they been brought in from another operator as I've not noticed any branding on them?

66001 is 25 this month - delivered on 18th April 1998. Is it possible to track the moves of one loco in a month? Here it is in Westbury Down yard on 23rd April. Then it attached itself to the rear of 66120+66041 working 0V14 2004 Eastleigh - Margam. Does anyone know its moves from 18th and...

Anyone know when Britannia is due to leave Swanage now that the Steam Gala has finished? Thanks.

Stainless steel drums of waste (each weighing around 1 tonne) are being railed from Dorset to Cumbria. They travel from the Winfrith Magnox site to Drigg, via Crewe. A number of such runs were made last year, with the wagons TNT by 68s; the train running down in the morning with empty wagons and...

Any further news on possible return of freight traffic?

Is Pilning unique in being the only station to have its entire service operated by HSTs?

One of my daughters is trying to make her first GW delay repay claim. She registered with the site, put in all the required details, up-loaded her e-tickets, etc. When she gets to the "make claim" button at the end, it just goes round and round and eventually times out. She's trie again, to the...

Hello. The above was published by PSL in 1993. Was there ever a Vol 2?

From the Conservative Party Conference website: Is the name "Grand Central" being used more now?

Does anyone know which actual USAF B-52 this was which did a flypast at the Bournemouth Airshow on Sat 3rd, please? Here it is flying over my house on its way home to RAF Fairford.

Just watched the animated intro to the BBCs coverage of the Commonwealth Games in B'ham. It appears to feature a London Overground train in the sequence.

Now I have both the two main books about these locos, but I've never been able to fully grasp one point. Where were the locos actually built? Was it at Clayton's works in Hatton, or at the International Combustion workshops in Derby? Or was it a mix of both? Were components made at Hatton and...

Bournemouth's "Yellow Buses" has gone into administration this afternoon. https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/20588329.yellow-buses-gone-administration/

I should know this, but I'll ask anyway. Can one use this card after one's turned 25? For example, say one bought a three-year card at age 24 two years ago, is it valid for three years, even if the holder is over 25? Thanks.
