Announcement from a few days ago saying Jetstream are ceasing to operate this link from 31 March 2024 https://www.jetstreamtours.com/about-us/news Besides ferry only passengers, there are through rail ferry tickets available (eg Southend to Dartford). Wonder if c2c and Southeastern will...

Bit of a stab in the dark, but wondering if anyone has ever ventured into the suburbs of Winnipeg MB to photograph freight trains? I'll be there for several days in September in between travelling across the country by rail plus a side trip up to Churchill. I won't have a car but there looks to...

I always understood the short middle platform (2) was designed that way to keep diesel trains out in the open. Could have always been elevated if an efficient extraction system was put in. Overall, with changes to passenger numbers, the station needs redesigning especially with a more efficient...

Does anyone know why this tunnel is only single tracked? I can only assume it was to keep structural costs down when it was built before the airport station opened in the early 1990s. I travel regularly in and out and when services are on time that doesn't cause much of a problem. Complex...

Thank you to those that replied a few weeks ago. I wrote to TfL back in September who passed it on to MTR Elizabeth Line for investigation and still no reply. Since then, Rail Staff Travel have reissued residential passes as smartcard. Works fine at Tottenham Hale, but both sets of gates at...

Any TfL experts able to help. I hope this was just staff not knowing about ticket validity. Here goes.... I travel to and from work between Farringdon and Tottenham Hale via Liverpool Street using a residential pass. This is issued by Rail Staff Travel, part of Rail Delivery Group. My route...

Does anyone know if or when this preserved railway are intending to run this season? Website still says closed (except for their café) and their Facebook page hinted a few weeks back about crew refresher days. Time ticking on and want to tie them in with a few others (Strathspey, Keith...

Thanks to everyone for their replies. Not travelled much on GWR during the last 12-15 months. I got a seat booked for the 10:03 but will head for the "fully reserved" 08:51 at Paddington. I'll be on a walk-up, unrestricted ticket.

Thanks. I'll book a seat on the 10:03 but looking at GWR's replies to tweets they are saying if the train is fully reserved, just buy a walk-up ticket on the day but social distancing may not be possible. Impossible to police boarding after Paddington, so I wonder if GWR are happy to just let...

Not sure if this is class 800 related or not. Looking at Sunday 20 June, 08:51 Paddington-Penzance going as far as Plymouth. Really need to be there as early as possible. On National Rail, search trains come up with no fares, later ones have Advance tickets. On GWR's site, you can select a Super...

Any idea why it's taken a month to get trains running between Dundee and Montrose again? The stock is there, the crews are there and taxis can be used to "bridge the gap"? Phil

Nowhere to go? Shops have re-opened. Beaches and countryside walks have never closed. You can travel to meet others in an open space (a park, a back garden) and for those that have been stuck at home, the "bubble" is a vital step to getting people to meet up with each other in their home again...

Hello. Does anyone have the distance (in miles and chains) of the line between Selby and York which was closed in 1983 after the diversionary route was opened please? Thanks Phil

Is there any site or access to Working Timetables showing the headcodes for passenger trains in Northern Ireland please? Thanks Phil

I see ScotRail have been updating their passengers with regular posts on their website and Twitter feed with the clear message that the onus is on South Ayrshire Council who imposed the exclusion zone. The latter on the other hand have been the opposite. A statement went out on Monday 27th...

Just love the lazy 'copy and paste off the TOC's website' journalism.

Thanks to everyone for their help. Phil

Quick question. Is there any catering outlet like Pumpkin Café on a weekday in time to grab something before the 07:02 departure for Wick? Many thanks in advance, Phil

Hello. Basically the ticket I bought yesterday was CDR Boundary Zone 3 to Reading via Slough = restriction code W1: http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=0042&dest=RDG&grpd=0403&rte=801&tkt=CDR And for completeness, I was using Zone 1-3 Travelcard on Oyster to travel from Paddington. I was...

Some sharp eyed follower of mine on Flickr spotted that one of my photos on my Flickr pages has been downloaded and uploaded to his. Uncredited of course. Have of course taken the necessary steps to have this reported. And trawling through some of the albums he's quite prolific at the...
