    Delay repay - "arrival" time was incorrect

    Pretty much as @robbeech suggested. They replied on the 20 day deadline, saying payment would be made in 10 days. "Having looked at the claim registered online and the additional detail provided below, I am happy to agree to a further payment for the additional delay encountered. For ease, I...

    Delay repay - "arrival" time was incorrect

    I have received a surprisingly fast response to my appeal, with an unsurprisingly unhelpful response. The appeal stated "We have checked your journey and on this occasion, we could not find a delay of 15 minutes or more.", this is despite having already refunded me based on a delay of 30 to 59...

    Delay repay - "arrival" time was incorrect

    Hi all, was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this one. Couple of weeks ago I was travelling from Berkhamsted to Euston. Scheduled arrival was 2331, but we didn't get into Euston until 0019. However, once we got to Euston, the driver told us that the platform we were on was already...

    Buckhurst Hill Tramway - first blog

    Hi all, I've written my first railway history blog. It's about the Buckhurst Hill Tramway, a short test track which ran through the forest close to Buckhurst Hill in Essex. The engines were built in Manchester and intended for use in Lisbon. I welcome all feedback, good or bad. Cheers...

    Pacer from Doncaster?

    Thanks for all your help everyone. Hopping around Doncaster/Sheffield managed to get my fair share of pacers - including a Super Pacer from Thorne South. The heavy rain yesterday afternoon gave me the true Pacer experience - raining as much inside as it was outside, and standing room only! The...

    Pacer from Doncaster?

    I'm likely to be in Doncaster on the 19th/20th November. After my previous attempt to travel on a Pacer failed, I'll be trying again. After a few searches on here and Flickr it looks like my best hope will be a service to Sheffield. Is it worth getting a SYConnect+ ticket and hopping around...

    Old posters

    Afternoon all, Does anyone know where I might be able to get my hands on scans of old posters? Specifically, I'm after the one below, but any others would be good. I've found people selling it, so the digital file must be around somewhere, but they're selling them for £40+. I've had a rummage...

    Cheapest way to get a Pacer from London

    Thanks for everyone's replies, looks like we're off to Manchester! Found Euston to Crewe for £9 one way, and Crewe to Manchester for £3 - pretty decent!

    Cheapest way to get a Pacer from London

    Might be a bit of an odd request, this one, but I’m after going on a journey on a Pacer, simply because I’ve never been on one before. Ideally, it would be to/from a town/city where there’s enough to do to spend the day. I’m in London, so accept that I’ll have to get a train out of here...

    Timetables for specific stations

    Hi all, Is there a place I can find timetables for a specific station? For example, all trains calling at Liverpool Street on a Saturday. I've used search, and can't find anything. Google only seems to bring up live timetables. Many thanks
