    West Midlands Railway Class 172/0

    Hi all, does anyone know what workings (if any) are booked for the ex-Overground 172/0's, other than Coventry to Nuneaton and Leamington Spa? I'm sure I've seen photos of them working services on the Snow Hill lines, so I'm crossing my fingers that I might get one later today. Cheers.

    Ticket to 'OSWESTRY BUS'

    Hi all, I was looking at ways to get to Oswestry for a day out tomorrow, and on brfares.com, I've found that you can purchase a ticket to 'K342 OSWESTRY BUS'. Since Oswestry doesn't have a train station, what would the permitted route be for this ticket? Thanks. Edit: This is the page I was...

    Platform Tickets at London Terminals

    Hi all, I'm going to be heading into London tomorrow, and I'd like to know if these are still something that you can get? I'd be particularly interested in Clapham Junction, but other terminals would be nice to visit, too. Thanks.

    'Charter Train' at Birmingham New Street

    Hi all, I was at Birmingham New Street today on my way back from an open day at Arriva's depot in Tamworth, and there was a Charter train on the departure boards. I didn't stick around to see it, however, it passed the 390 that I was on just south of Birmingham International. Does anyone have...

    Arriva Trains Wales 150 to Birmingham

    Hi all, I know that 150 workings aren't that rare, since I occasionally see one coupled to a 158, and I've managed to catch one a few times too. However, I was walking home yesterday on a path alongside the WCML at Tipton station, and I was passed by a singular ATW 150 working, presumably to...

    1st Class Advance to London

    Hi all, I have two 1st Class Advance singles for the 24th February, from Tipton to London Underground Zones 1-2, and back. Both tickets specify a reservation for a VTWC service, but don't mention anything else about what trains I should use for connections. Is it possible to use earlier/later...

    DJames' Railway Photos

    Hi all, I've decided to take up railway photography now that I have a decent camera and lens to use. It's my first time doing this other than a couple quick snaps with my phone in the past, so any advice and tips are appreciated. I had a trip down to Tyseley today, but I woke up too late to see...

    Birmingham to London with Tube

    Hi all, I'm gonna be heading down to London for the day tomorrow, and I was most likely gonna buy the £35 Chiltern Railway Super Off Peak ticket with the zone 1-6 addon. Just to make sure, is this the best value ticket that I can get, or would it be cheaper to buy a ticket on it's own, then pay...

    Mark 2/3? Carriages near Derby / Burton upon Trent

    Hi all, I recently went to Sheffield and back for a uni interview, and I recall there being some old carriages at the side of the line somewhere near Derby or Burton upon Trent, at least one of them was in the old Virgin livery, and I'm pretty sure there was an InterCity one too. Could anyone...
