Does anyone have an idea what is happening with the evening Pullman service from Paddington to the South West currently? The notes on https://www.gwr.com/travelling-with-us/pullman-dining to say the 19.04 service being moved to 18.03 have disappeared but the 19.04 is still crossed out wit the...

Those complaining about the flag, were you also complaining about the GB 2012 Olympic kits? Do you feel the same about the altered Scottish and Brazilian flags that have been on their kits before? What about the altered coloured versions of flags that are incredibly common at football matches...

Any idea if the signalling problems between Truro and Redruth earlier today were related to the new signalling?

Especially in Bristol there is a massive issue of people buying student tickets on the app despite not being eligible for them. It is that kind of ticket fraud that they are trying to clamp down on.

Surely an actual sensible railway system would use at least some compatible rolling stock to bolster the XC services that need it, not add a new unnecessary service.

Based on my experience, a rail replacement bus means: It may not turn up at all. No live tracking so no hope of even knowing if it is coming. Often no staff available to ask for help. If it does turn up you may well need to give the driver directions! If it does turn up its a pot luck of either...

Looks like route maps are on travelwest for the new and amended routes now.

Rushi's supporters are those who called judges enemies of the people, who complain constantly about people they want to lock up or deport getting fair legal representation, who want to change the law to allow them to do what courts have stopped them doing, who have very recently introduced...

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I really can't believe how disingenuous they are being with all of this.

GWR website is now showing Pullman Dining being on the 18.03 (rather than the 19.03) until March 22nd now :(. Other real life events mean I'm not even sure if I'll be travelling next week yet anyway, but if I am I'm pretty disappointed (not going to be able to catch the 18.03 even if I did...

In terms of recent comments, personally I'm finding the deliberate conflation between legitimate protest and abuse that clearly crosses the line somewhat worrying. Yes of course abusing politicians and their families right outside their homes isn't on. But to deliberately conflate that with...

Very nice this evening to be on an actual train heading to the west country from my parents! Also weird to see double tracks in new places and extra platforms too. Hard to tell at other stations due to the fading light, but they've done some work at Ton Pentre station at least even though its...

Worth saying the recent Portway Park and Ride station in Bristol cost almost £6m and that was as simple as you can get really - one platform on an existing single track line without any track or signalling upgrades (as far as I am aware). I'm comparison, the still in build Ashley Down station...

At least based on reddit posts there's plenty of people in Bristol buying student tickets when they aren't eligible for them. So may be hardly worth it but plenty of people do it.

More to the point, similar terraced houses in Cardiff and Bristol are much much more expensive too! Having just bought in Bristol terraced houses of the exact same age, style, size and quality are easily selling for £300k plus here, and in the nicer bits of town easily over £400k.

Maybe a silly question but some of the lines on the line were lowered during electrification works to give enough clearance in tunnels and under some bridges for the wires. That hasn't had a knock on impact here has it?

Plenty of people commute from the heads of the valleys to Cardiff. It's a huge commuter flow. You only have to look how busy the A470 is during peak hours to see that. A one hour each way commute on single train isn't exactly challenging either - infact I'd say its pretty average! Given how...

Normally GWR and XC are pretty good at carrying each others passengers between Bristol and Penzance when there are issues (I'm posting this now whilst sat on a GWR service that is accepting my XC only ticket due to my planned XC service being over 100 minutes late and the following XC service...

Nobody seems to have a problem with those existing line names ...

And if I don't know if those locations are on the specific bit of the Overground I'm travelling on? Does the Jubiliee line, or Elizabeth line, or Metropolitan line, or Diatrict line do that? No.
