Hi all, long time, no post I'm travelling to the Netherlands fairly soon and I'm in the process of booking train tickets for a couple of journeys while there (I know I could use the TVMs on the day, but I would rather book in advance). Looking at ticket prices there doesn't seem to be that...

Hi all In a couple of days I am going out to NZ for a couple of weeks, during which I plan to do a bit of bashing. I will be staying in the Auckland area on the North island. I know almost nothing about the railways in NZ apart from the fact that there are some ex BR MK2 coaches out there...

for a few minutes the forum seemed to be down for me, I don't know whether it was actually down or not but I couldn't connect. next thing I know the forum seems to have switched to mobile mode and I can't change it back. if anyone knows how to do this or an admin can comment it would be greatly...

I had a thought that it would be quite interesting if there was an open access operator doing this sort of service, using a highly modified (ie separate power cars and hybrid) 10 car class 222, I would not be sure of the exact route but max speed would be 125 mph and an express style stopping...
