    Greater Anglia Disruption 12/04 at Chelmsford

    Looks like there has been a person hit at Chelmsford this afternoon, cancelling all trains east of Shenfield on that line. Seems that Southend branch is running fine. My guess would be this was the service involved: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/G01364/2017/04/12/advanced

    Sheffield - London LM+XC fares

    Thanks for all the replies and advice! The reason I was inquiring if Birmingham would be valid, as I was aiming for a quick BoJ to have dinner with a friend. Seems like that won't be an issue? Thanks for the link...never have used the Sleeper engine before now, but it looks very useful and...

    Sheffield - London LM+XC fares

    Hi all, I've seen this question covered before, but couldn't find anything more recent and definitive. http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=92647 http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=107106 Looking to use this fare this weekend, and trying to plan return on Sunday and...

    Guildford to Birmingham via Clapham Junction and Watford Junction

    Interestingly enough, the anytime single +Via London ticket is £105. To split into three different tickets along the same lines as OP has laid out is cheaper. Guildford - Clapham Junction Anytime Single = £10.40 Clapham Junction - Watford Junction Anytime Single via Ken Olympia = £9.30...

    Routeing Question (Sunderland-London)

    Quite new to the Routeing Guide, so trying to get an understanding on how it works. Here's what I've found and just trying to see if what I've read is being understood correctly: 1. I hold an super off-peak return from London to Sunderland...

    Grand Central's long waits at Wakefield Kirkgate

    Sort of off-topic, but I thought it would be better suited here than a whole new topic. On the topic of long-waits, I noticed that EM to LDS can sometimes have some lengthy stops along the route...is it the same reason with GC i.e. pathing or is it just a simple schedule pad? 1815 from STP...

    GLC - EUS and onto Tottenham Court Road

    Indeed an awkward interchange. The easiest I can think of for being with luggage for Kings Cross - Tottenham Court Rd would be to take Northern north to Euston then switch to the other Northern south to Tottenham Court Rd. The Northern interchange at Euston is escalators and not stairs if I'm...

    Cardiff to Leeds 17/18th February 2016

    I just took a look at the engineering works announcement from ATW: To me this suggests you get off at Crewe and take a bus only if you need Stockport or Wilmslow. The train will continue direct from Crewe to Oxford Rd NRE suggests the same and isn't showing a bus either.

    When should I buy railcard

    I guess it's up to your level of risk. I got my 16-25 issued pretty much immediately, but they took issue with a colleague's submitted photo and made her re-submit a photo and thus their issue date was a few days later than the submitted date, hence the warning about technical or otherwise problems.
