Ok thanks for the info :)

Hi, A steam tour came through my local station yesterday but I only accidentally stumbled across the info about it the day before. So I was wondering, is there a website please that gives advance details of railtours due to come through any given station? Thanks

Yes it is. It is the only service they run where you can have a decent meal on board and AFAIK it's the only Tfw service that has first class. I've travelled from Penzance up to Wrexham today and my whole itinerary for the day was built around getting that train so that I could enjoy the...

Why was it cancelled?

The one with the restaurant car that goes up from Cardiff to Holyhead in the late afternoon and as I said calls at Newport at 17:31. I was talking to some of the staff on the platform at Newport and apparently it hadn't come down from Holyhead this morning but they didn't know why. Does anyone...

Hi. Does anyone know why this didn't run today up to Holyhead please? There I was, standing on Newport station, waiting in anticipation for it to arrive at 17:31 and what did I get.... a f*****g 2 car class 150! The Gerald is TfW's jewel in the crown. If they can't even run their flagship...

I was on the 7:52 from Aberdeen down to KC. Arrived nearly 2 hours late and turned what should of been a nice relaxed transfer to Paddington into a mad Frantic rush!

There's a Liverpool Lime Street to Norwich weekday service that leaves Lime Street at 07:42. What is everyone's experience of this service?

Is there a single site online to see when steam trains are going to be passing through my a given station - in my case , Wrexham General? So I guess what I'm ideally looking to do is for me to enter my station and a range of dates and for it to then show me all the steam hauled services that...

Hi all, Does anyone know the story behind this rather curious TfW service please. Between Chester and Manchester Piccadilly it can take two different routes, either via Warrington BQ arriving in MP at Platform 13 or via Northwich and Stockport arriving in MP at platform 9. According to RTT...

So what's to stop someone with an ALR from checking Real Time Trains or Raildar for delayed services that they haven't travelled on and then making a fraudulent claim?

That's a good idea but I do have a question. Assuming you don't have a reservation, how do you prove you were on a delayed train when you have an ALR?

The seed and inspiration for the whole idea was actually the longest train video that Geoff and Vicky (All the Stations) did for the direct train between Aberdeen and Penzance. I thought to myself... "I would love to do that!", so the Friday to Monday has been built around that. At first I was...

Is that for a single berth or do you have to share?

Do you know how much the cost of the meal is now please?

Doing more branches in Cornwall - Yes, good idea but depends on how I'm feeling on the day. Doing Norwich and Cromer instead of Brighton - That was something I had actually thought about before deciding on Brighton.... hmm, something to think about ECML - hmmm, flat and straight and rather...

Except that the Interrail pass can't be used in the UK with the exception of making a single outbound and single inbound trip to and from another country during the validity of the pass

But then you'd be spending every night just travelling between either London and Scotland or London and Cornwall. That feels a bit limiting to me.

I've worked out that even with ticket splitting, the same journeys would cost over £1200 without the rover so I'll still be saving anyway. The idea of St.Ives is for two reasons. Firstly. I've always wanted to go (a bit like taking the heart of wales line)and secondly, after two long days of...

Hi Everyone, I've bought a 7 day 1st class ALRR for the beginning of June. Wrexham General is my home station and I would love your thoughts on my current plan: Friday 3rd June Wrexham General >>>> Chester >>>> Crewe >>>> Glasgow Central >> (walk to)>> Glasgow Queen Street >>>> Inverness >>>>...
