Is anything being done to mark the 200th anniversary of Rocket at the end of this decade, or the 200th anniversary of the Stockton and Darlington next year?

Autotrader will give a rough estimate what my nearly 15 year old Skoda is worth privately and part ex, as one of my 5-vehicle allowance. However, I have tried a friend's 20 year old 53-reg Polo and it won't recognise hers. I have also tried my old car which would've effectively turned 20 next...

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C27655/2024-01-03/detailed#allox_id=0 I will be travelling on this service in a couple of weeks. London to Nuneaton is 96-97 miles according to the Railmiles engine, and the timing is sub-1hr at 55-56 mins. Anything else travel further from London...

ASLEF announcing a strike this week that could take place on the 17th or before? Or do they only meet up again for talks once all the schools etc. have resumed next week? A load of us from work are travelling by train on the 17th to the 19th.

Apparently there is a small train yard just off the B5045 Shelton New Road in Stoke on Trent. An ex-FGW MK3 can be seen from this Google Street View image: https://maps.app.goo.gl/5BHFFS5diAs42Wro7 Does anybody know the purpose or history of this yard?

https://www.derbund.ch/sbb-stoerung-verspaetungen-und-zugsausfaelle-in-bern-nach-entgleisung-648070151109 On Thursday morning, a goods train derailed in Bern, killing one railway worker. Unfortunately, I can only find an article in German. R.I.P to the one deceased. Swiss railways are still...

Myself and a friend are going to HKG in March. Our first port of call will be the railway station at HKG airport to take the train into town and dump our bags at the hotel. I would like to know one or both of two things: 1) As the flight from Manchester will be long, is there a type of ticket...

Singapore Airlines are to launch a LGW-SIN flight five times a week from June '24. This will be a good move for those in Kent, Sussex and parts of Surrey. Equipment TBC but likely A350, either in -900 or -1000 guise.

Is there a thread on this, as I cannot see one? Wikipedia suggests that work to shorten the ICE1 is "well in progress".

Maybe Northern will procure a fleet of them and they're using it to test the lie of the land. 5-car would be good for many services here, with an occasional 10 in the peaks midweek even if some coaches in the rear unit are locked out of use due to platform lengths.

Is it me, or is buy one get one half price on Ryanair (or anything) not actually that good value? I think it was the same last year. In 2021, I believe it was buy one get one free, which is a completely different ball game.

If someone has a full 1st Class fare (36EUR which is confusingly called Standard, hence the mention of the word in the title) from Milan to Lugano but misses the last Eurocity, will this fare be valid on Trenord services? Obviously they may have to forego the 1st Class bit, or endure an inferior...

ls Chiltern still the most "COVID" of all the operators with only 83% of pre-COVID services?

There is the All-Line-Rover for seven days, however what if one just wants to do maximum mileage for one day? Say, on a Saturday when there is no morning peak restriction? Does a one-day rover exist and, if so, what is the cost? I don't expect it to be one-seventh of an ALR but maybe one sixth...

Can anybody have talks tomorrow, or are talks taking place anyway? Might amount to nought but it's better the prevention than the cure. There will be five days to go before Wednesday if tomorrow. A strike in the past was called off at five days' notice and 95% of trains ran once more (even if...

As most people on here don't like them, where is the worst offending place to see Nissan Jukes? Specifically referring to pre-2020 registered examples with their horrible bug eyes. Up in the North West there seem to be thousands of them in Warrington, with Altrincham and Widnes not far behind.

This new high speed line opened in part on Sunday. Interesting is the section above the Filstal where you can see what appears at first glance to be a traditional railway viaduct, but is in fact a viaduct carrying the Autobahn A8 in one direction, as it splits a fair bit through the hills of...

Hi all, does anybody know what time EMR resumed services the day after last time it went on strike on a weekday? I am specifically looking from Lincoln Central.

Hearing reports on Twitter that an ICE has left the tracks in Karlsruhe. Anybody know anything further? https://bnn.de/karlsruhe/karlsruhe-stadt/ice-vor-dem-karlsruher-hauptbahnhof-entgleist-beim-rangieren

Hi Why can't I see any Manchester to Euston tickets for the first week of January? Please feel free to merge with an existing thread if one already exists.
