    I'm flying from Gatwick South tomorrow and was wondering if there was anywhere to be recommended in airside departures for a good airfield/runway view? Ideally in/near a good refreshment establishment...

    Best Android app for journey planning?

    On the hunt for recommendations for a UK rail journey planner app for android - it doesn't need to be able to sell tickets etc just provide itineraries including with via points. Thanks!

    "London Thameslink" stations

    I'm trying to buy a off-peak day return from London Terms to Luton Airport, and I get this warning: "This ticket is only valid on services leaving London Thameslink" What does this mean? Does it mean the six Thameslink stations? The crux of my question is - given the ticket type, would...

    Tweedbank

    Planning a trip on the Borders Railway next week, and was considering a stopover for an hour at Tweedbank to keep the other half happy. Had a quick look on google/maps and it doesn't look like there's much at the end of the line - it looks like breaking the return at Galasheils would be a lot...

    Reprinting tickets collected from TVM

    I can't find some tickets I bought for a forthcoming trip - I'm sure I've collected them already, it would have been unlike me not to. If I try to collect them from a machine and I have mislaid them, would I be able to have them reprinted by a ticket office?

    Paddington - Cardiff Saturday 19th Sep

    Been waiting for advance tickets to show up for Paddington - Cardiff and back on Sat 19th Sep (for the rugby). The ticket horizon has been and gone, but no advances are available on the direct trains. Is it safe to assume as some point in the near future they will be?

    Inverness 158s

    Do the ScotRail 158s based out of Inverness still run round with first class sections? Or have they all been removed.

    Network Railcard: Do you need a photo?

    I think the answer to this is no, but just for confirmation: Do you need a passport photo/photocard to buy a Network Railcard?

    Help me get some Northern coverage (now with added trip reports)!

    Thanks to Northern's recent day ranger promo, I thought I would take the opportunity to blitz some of the red on my coverage map. As you can see, there's quite a lot in the Manchester and Merseyside areas as well as less so in North Yorkshire. My task for you guys is, starting from...

    17/4 6V80 1455 West Burton - Portbury

    Reported by RTT as cancelled, but it is definitely running. Even though it's running it isn't reporting on RTT. Interested to know why it's reported as cancelled when running. Technical issue? Or a reversed decision maybe? Surprised also it isn't reporting times on RTT.

    The Kyle line and splitting morning railcard restrictions

    In the summer myself and the better half intend on using the 08.55 Inverness - Kyle service with a 2TR Highland Rover. Unless I'm much mistaken the restrictions on the railcard override those on the rover i.e. the discounted rover can't be used before 09.30. In terms of splitting the rover...

Starting in Cardiff, my intention was to get a South Wales Flexi and do in effect a clockwise route to Fishguard/Milford/Pembroke, up to Shrewsbury then back to Cardiff, and at some...

    When eastcoast.co.uk goes, what will be your preferred booking website?

    Over the past few years I have enjoyed using buying all my (and others) rail tickets using eastcoast.co.uk, not only because of their loyalty scheme but also I really enjoy the functionality of webtis. I'm sure there's many others who would agree with me - so who will you move your business to...

    Where is Carlisle Brunthill?

    Here's one such reference to it - http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H31249/2014/10/11/advanced Appears to be a Freightliner terminal with daily timetabled services to Oxwellmains but I've never seen or heard of it before, or even if it is still in use.
