Hello, I have an Anytime Day Single from Woolwich Arsenal to Belvedere. Can anyone advise whether this is valid from Woolwich Elizabeth Line rather than Woolwich Arsenal? Thanks!

Hi All, So yesterday morning my booked train was cancelled (I had an Advance for this), so I caught the previous service. This train arrived 19 minutes late, but this was only 13 minutes after the booked arrival time of the train I was due to catch. So the question is, am I entitled to Delay...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/edinburgh-london-rail-journeys-to-be-cut-to-4-hours.260651/ It would be nice if we could have a regular fast service to/from Leeds. Calling at Wakefield only and doing it in 2 hours.

The KWVR has announced two visiting locomotives for the gala in March: 4079 Pendennis Castle 6990 Witherslack Hall Eight of the home fleet also due to be in action. Full details at: https://kwvr.co.uk/events/the-steam-gala/

Looking at Real Time Trains this morning I see that 331009 is working Airedale services and 331110 is on its way to Blackpool. Have any more crossed the Pennines yet?

It occurred to me that the rail journey from Ardwick to Salford Central isn't very far, but requires two changes. Pic and then Vic or Salford Crescent. Over here in West Yorkshire, Baildon to Burley Park is the best I can think of. Change at Shipley and Leeds. In London, Cannon Street to...

I regularly take advantage of Northern's cheap Advances for the days I need to commute into Leeds. I have received an email advising that the train I am booked on this coming Friday is cancelled, and that my ticket is valid on the next train. Fair enough. However, am I also valid on the train...

Part of the old viaduct on the approach to where Leeds Central Station used to be (now an office park) is now open to the public. I checked it out at lunchtime: This is looking towards where the station used to be. Very nice! I looked for signs of old railway-related gubbins, and spotted...

Hi All, This morning the train I had an Advance ticket for was delayed by over an hour. Under such circumstances, do I have an automatic right to catch the previous or next train, or in theory do I have to sit there watching multiple trains depart until my booked service shows up? As it was, I...

First two visitors have been announced: 26038 and 37403 Not the Syphon I was hoping for, but so be it. Should at least get to enjoy a pair of 37s up the hill. Event being held June 23 - 25.

Hi All, Next week I am traveling to London with an Advance ticket to "London Underground Zone 1-3", aiming to travel to either Ealing Common or Ealing Broadway. My question is, is this ticket valid to get to Ealing Broadway via a combination of Tube and Elizabeth Line, or do I need to stick to...

Hi All, I was in Chester at the weekend and stumbled across Pete Waterman's layout in the cathedral. Very impressive, with lots of variety of trains in operation. I took a couple of poor photos - you can see Mr Waterman himself in the background of the first:

Northern were handing out mini brownies to passengers on the concourse at Leeds this evening. Has this been happening elsewhere? (For the avoidance of doubt, I am referring to the chocolate cakey things, not the younger version of Girl Guides!)

Did BR ever run service trains with the specific intention of appealing to enthusiasts? Locos may have been fixed on certain workings by a crank in control, but the service itself was aimed at normals, rather than bashers.

Hi All. So with TPE chaos this afternoon I had to catch a bus from White Rose into Leeds rather than a train from Cottingley (for which I already had a ticket, which I then used to complete my journey from Leeds). So while I didn't suffer too much of a delay I am out of pocket. Is there a way...

Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/goole-area-to-knottingley-hardly-any-valid-itineraries.185151/ Better still would be the reintroduction of a decent service to the route throughout the day, together with more sensibly priced tickets.

Hi All, This event is coming up soon: 14th to 16th June. 33063 is advertised as a visitor, along with "Visiting mainline locomotive courtesy of DRS". Now, does anyone know what DRS are planning to send? Other traction: Class 20, 20227, Sherlock Holmes Class 37, D6732 Class 08, D3935 Both...

Hi All, Rather than continuing to hijack other people's threads with my reminiscences of bashing in the 80s, I'm starting my own. So, as promised, my 1985 Freedom of Scotland is detailed below. Just to set the scene: 4 teenagers, 7 overnights in row, poor food and no showers. We set of from...

Hi All, So clearly a ticket to Zone 1 allows one journey on the underground. My question is, are there restrictions on where you can get on to the underground? Does it have to be at the terminus where you arrive? Supposing I arrive at Kings Cross and walk along to Euston to meet a colleague...

So with the news that we might not be getting 6-car services from Leeds to Skipton, what else could be done to increase capacity? In my view, Shipley to Bradford is over-served. Therefore I would get rid of the Skipton - Bradford and Leeds - Bradford services and replace them with additional...
