I am planning to travel to Manchester on Friday (19th) and come back on the Monday (22nd) from Westbury. I want to do this via TfW to use their LCHS however the RSTOnline website is no longer saying fares are available to Crewe via Hereford, which is how I split the tickets last time (February)...

As I understand, the ECML is going to move to in-cab signalling in the not too distant future. For me this begs the question- what will the effect be on railtours (and freight)? Will groups such as West Coast, Riviera Trains and all need to start installing the new equipment in cabs of old locos...

I’ve recently been trying to travel on a lot of TfW services which have supposedly included full catering. Every single service I’ve caught I’ve found some very apologetic staff who end up telling the carriage that there is no onboard chef, so unable to get any hot food or sandwiches. This...

I'm trying to plan a route to get from Fort William to Westbury on Sunday 15th May, however the journey planners aren't showing any same-day travel or decently priced advance fares. I'll be travelling on a 16-25 railcard, the other passenger doesn't have a railcard so will have to be full price...

I have secured an apprenticeship at Network Rail and at some point I will be called for a fitness assessment, what will this involve? I would like to know if I need to do some running to gain stamina or lifting to improve strength.

I've been wondering - What would be the oldest complete set of trains still in service? That means none scrapped, none stored and all working in active service (or being refurbished). I know the Class 158 family is still a full one but would any other sets of multiple units still as built?

GWR's Class 153 units have now begun to be taken off lease. So far, 373, 305 (Casper) and 380 have gone off lease now. Any ideas on where these units will end up, another TOC or are they finally going to the scrap heap?

I've read an update on the GWR website that 1P87 from Worcester Foregate Street to London Paddington (Booked for an HST) is being formed of 3 coaches. What on earth is going on, and what unit are they going to replace a HST with for a long distance service like this?

Reports have come through of an explosion on a district line train at Tower Hill, causing a stampede. Apparently someone's phone power charging bank blew up and caught fire.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-41152221 It's a distant prospect for now, but Bristol is a city that just keeps growing and its already filling up with more cars than it can handle. Will this system be needed after the "Metrobus" scheme is finished? It would be nice to see...

Well, the other week I went to the Millennium bridge in London because I wanted to have a ride on the incline lift. I was there and all of a sudden - a bunch of people dressed as animals walked by! I later went and looked online of what this was so then found out it was a group called London...

I travel to London a fair amount by train and my sister occasionally decides she's buying me first class tickets so I ride in some units first class thinking "This is definitely worth it" and others thinking "All that money for THIS?". What do you think the worst and best units and TOCs are...

Around here, we have a fair few bus routes and only one of them is run by a major company, the 267 run by FirstGroup... Thankfully it has left a large proportion of routes to be run by others, the most popular being Faresaver. I'm not sure about some companies but I know with Faresaver they run...

I was wondering the other day whilst on the Central line coming up to Epping, what London Underground stock is capable of the highest speed (Limiters disabled)? I have head stories of the A stock frequently hitting 75+ MPH, compared to the S stock only being able to go 62... I have also heard...

Now that the D78s are all gone and the sub surface lines have a singular train across the whole network for the next 30-50 years does anyone know about the future of certain tube stock? NTfL hasn't gotten any news for a while so it's not easy to know if it's been swept under the carpet now...

What's the weirdest thing that's happened during any journey you've been on a bus? Mine is probably the time the X34 had a complete electrical failure where the key was removed from the ignition and the bus (Solo) stayed on! That and the windscreen wipers, full beams were stuck on and the...
