    TrainSplit beta site

    I see a beta version is available on Trainsplit, but it's not clear what the most appropriate means of providing feedback is so I'm starting a thread here. https://beta.trainsplit.com/ The Beta doesn't appear to have a toggle to select flexible fares, making comparison of flexible fares...

    Break of journey - restriction SK

    I'm looking at a ticket where the only restriction is code SK. The 'validity' section on BRFares states that break of journey on the outward portion of the ticket is prohibited by the fare's restrictions, however I note that SK applies only Monday to Friday. Am I right in the understanding that...

    Info request - e-ticket retailers

    Hi all. I'm looking for some help with a little idea I'm working on. I'm looking to compile a list of email addresses from which retailers send e-tickets to passengers. For clarity, I'm not looking for contact emails for the TOCs or retailers, rather I want the actual 'from' email address shown...

    The owners of the former Murco oil depot at Bayton Road, Exhall have applied to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council regarding the proposed demolition of the buildings, tanks and pipework at the site. I can't seem to provide a direct link to the application, but you can search the reference...

    Coventry derailment 15/12/2020

    I've seen tweets regarding this, only affecting Nuneaton to Leamington services so presumably on the Coventry to Nuneaton line somewhere. Does anyone have derails of exactly where it is and what train was involved?

    Train companies claiming to have "longer carriages"

    I got an email today from Cross Country giving information about changes in the May timetable, Covid-19, etc. One of the paragraphs (attached) rather strangely states that some routes will be getting longer carriages. Do they mean more carriages, or are they introducing different rolling stock??

    LNER adverts

    I live in the West Midlands. Several times in the last week I've seen/heard several commercials for LNER on both TV and local radio. The nearest LNER stations to my area are at least an hour drive away. Does anyone have the slightest clue why they're advertising here?

    Network Daytripper Plus - Coventry to Leamington

    A few years ago I had an issue with this ticket. For a while I'd been using it to travel between Coventry and Leamington. After a while ticket staff at Coventry started refusing to sell the ticket, as I was told it was not valid on the XC services between Coventry and Leamington. The staff never...
