An Ethiopian Airlines flight has crashed shortly after take off from Addis bound for Nairobi. All 157 souls are lost. The Boeing 737MAX8 now has its second fatal accident within a few months. A devastating loss. I fly this route regularly. A sobering thought...

Dear all, As you may have seen, Arriva Nederland are now offering a through train between Maastricht and Aachen on the newly electrified line. Great news! However, a question. I need to travel to Cologne airport shortly. I checked the DB planner page for the journey. If I begin my journey in...

Hi, If I book a ticket through the Eurostar website from a regional UK station to the continent am I protected on the London connection? I can't seem to book to London International CIV. Thanks

Hello, In a moment of idle curiosity I decided to see what still runs on the West Highland. I see the alumina in tanks still runs, but I also see a Mossend to Dalmally working, rated at 1200 tonnes. What is this? Could anyone tell me what is conveyed in this train? Mossend to Fort...

Hello, I would like to call upon those with access to such information, or those who have used the service, to perhaps please tell me what unit is booked to work this service. Specifically whether it's possible to know what's booked to work it tomorrow morning? Thanks

Hi all, My train up to Copenhagen broke down, and subsequently we were bundled onto a normal EMU, only 3 cars so no seat, and we were 90 down when we finally arrived in Copenhagen. What's the process for making a claim? Thanks A

Hello, I'm sorry for the many, many questions, and I'm fairly sure I know the answer to this... I hold an advance sleeper ticket from Paddington to Penzance. My plans have changed and I now need to get off at Lostwithiel. It is would seem that jumping off at a station on an advance...
