I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this but I'll ask anyway. I booked to travel on a direct train from Harrogate to London. I've had an email from LNER saying that due to ongoing checks on the Azuma, the train I'm travelling on will be a 'different train type'. I've been offered the...

I'm trying to find out something about travelling between Liverpool and York in 1924. I've found from Timetable World that in 1947, just before nationalisation, there was a direct train from Liverpool (Exchange) to Newcastle calling at York. Would there have been such a thing in 1924? And if...

I know old copies of railway magazines don’t have any value, but I’m having a clear out and I don’t like throwing stuff away that might be of use to someone. I have a pile of magazines as follows: Today’s Railways (UK) mid-2006 to mid-2013. Mostly complete but may be the odd one missing...

It's been in a couple of times today, hangs around for about 15 minutes, then heads off in the direction of Regensburg. http://webcam.deg.net/?a=showcam&w=showarchivimage&o=pla&id=201803061430

Does anyone know where I can find the cost of rail tickets many years ago? Specifically, I'm after the cost of a third class single from Hartlepool to Sunderland in 1919 or thereabouts. Thanks.

I've no doubt this has been covered before but haven't a clue how to find out so apologies in advance. I travelled from Harrogate to Morecambe on Saturday. I left the train to find the platform for my connection only to find that the Morecambe train was the one I had just got off. I guess...

I was a bit concerned to be notified of 'bauarbeiten' affecting services into Germany from Belgium from early last week as I was about to travel that way. However, the replacement is an hourly shuttle between Welkenraedt and Aachen which connects with the Brussels-Eupen service and reverse...

I'm booked via Eurostar to 'Any Belgian station' in October and am likely to have quite a bit of time on my hands to get to Brussels on the day of my return. I was wondering how much leeway I have using this ticket ie must I travel directly to Brussels as quickly as possible by the most direct...

I got caught up in the fun on SWT this morning. Having started in Vauxhall where there was little indication of any problems, I arrived in Clapham Junction to find my train was advertised as one minute late (not unusual) until two minutes before departure when the dreaded 'Delayed' appeared. I...

I'm surprised some delays on FGW haven't made it on to here. I caught the 16:31(?) from Taunton yesterday which was due in Paddington at 18:21. All went fine until the train came to a halt at Newbury Racecourse. After a time we were informed that we were behind a stationary freight train and...

I'm thinking of a few days in Germany in autumn and thought I would try high speed all the way (instead of my usual Eurostar then onwards by 'normal' services). So I had a look at the Eurostar site to have a look at prices etc, and it states that for bookings after 27 July I need to call a...

Bear with me; I think it's in the correct forum. I received my Olympic Games tickets today and they come with a Zones 1-9 Travelcard for the day. I've looked through the accompanying documentation and can't find anything regarding validity other than that you have to have your Games ticket with...

It should be an easy one, this. I'll be travelling from London to Harrogate at the weekend on what they call these days a Super Off Peak Return. I'm considering returning via Sheffield with a break of journey there and then on to St Pancras. Is that allowed? I'm sure I travelled via Sheffield...

There was a football match on. The 09:31 from Middlesbrough arrived in Sunderland well over an hour late. I've seen reports that there were problems with coupling the train at Middlesbrough and that two trains ran separately. Does anyone know what actually happened?

I want to do King's Cross to Peterborough travelling out around 16:00 and back later in the evening. National Rail gives me the £24 fare which I assume is a FCC only day return - I know East Coast isn't an option at that time without breaking the bank. However, I would like the option of...

I caught the GC from Bradford to London yesterday (on the 10:22). Out of interest, where does the rolling stock stay overnight?

Next week apparently. Couldn't find anything about it on this board, surprisingly. Anyone know anything? BBC

A very quick one here for the experts; as usual the National Rail site is not helpful. I am travelling from London to Burton-on-Trent tomorrow and require a simple walk-up off-peak return. Can I travel out via St Pancras and Derby and return via Tamworth and Euston or vice versa? Many thanks.

I arrived at Harrogate station at about 10:05 on Saturday to catch the 10:14 to Leeds. I found a train in the Knaresborough platform which I assumed was the York train and a train already in Platform 3. As it was it turned out that the York train was running eight minutes late and hadn’t arrived...

I pass through Clapham Junction two or three times a week at the same sort of time so have a pretty good idea of what can be expected through there and when, even if I can't tell you which particular services they are. This morning a 450 came through Platform 10 at about 8:15 with a 'Waterloo...
