    Timetable change/improvement in Forest of Bowland from 8th April

    I only heard about this recently even as an occasional user of the current 11 and it's great to see.

Its normally the reverse journey I make on the 36 but I've never had an issue scanning a Harrogate pass and just saying verbally "I've got an Mcard for travel through to Leeds" and...

    Nerja to London - interrail or not...

    Ribera is a tram stop so shows on https://www.euskotren.eus/en/tranvia/planos rather then as part of their rail lines. If Ribera is nearby then Zazpikaleak (https://goo.gl/maps/wzAq791R3RvDeoBb9) shouldn't be too far away if your able to walk to there. Otherwise there are more specific maps at...

    Some Interrail questions

    I won't repeat what rvdborgt has said other then to completely agree with everything they have said - but will add something to this point: There is a bit of an oddity with the travel days on mobile passes which might catch you out if you are aiming for full usage around midnight. On the...

    Various consultations on the May 2022 East Coast Mainline timetable

    There is a cross country sheet as well with the same sort of information in a different view: https://www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk/travel-updates-information/consultation-may-2022 One thing I note is that there is no mention of the existing Leeds to Aberdeen LNER service. Other once a day ones...

Used to be run as extensions of the Leeds to Morecambe trains till a few years ago till it became just a Lancaster to Heysham Harbour train. You don't technically have to connect...

    Hope Valley Capacity Scheme updates

    Interesting - I had no idea there was a consideration to go beyond Malin Bridge. Do you know when that got cut? The oldest documents I could get on Google was http://onlinepubs.trb.org/Onlinepubs/trr/1992/1361/1361-016.pdf which still shows the branch as it is today, although some of the...
