First passenger stops at Smallbrook Junction (SAB) have been added to the public timetable for 20 March 2022, the first operating day of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway in 2022. I can't find any further days where the stops have been loaded. I'm a regular visitor arriving by train so...

Looking at travelling from Horsham to Carlisle and back same day over the Settle & Carlisle with a BOJ at Ribblehead on the way back. Do the LNER Advances eg Kings Cross to Carlisle via Leeds allow BOJ at Ribblehead? Trainsplit results suggest this is possible as I put in a return via...

Can you board the train at Percy Main on operating days? I'm visiting 21st February 2019. I've looked on Google Street View and see there is a padlocked gate on Brunton St just after Percy Close which obviously leads to the platform/run-around. Be nice to arrive by Metro and avoid having to take...

After a lifetime of not using buses I now find myself using them to get to heritage railways and football grounds. Without Google Maps I'd have no idea where the bus stops are as the bus companies don't appear to publish all the stops: 1/ How accurate is Google Maps? To date my experience is...

Arriving Darlington 10:22 (from Kings Cross) and departing 19:01 (for Kings Cross) 14/02/2019 [care of LNER £15 Advances from their pre-Christmas seat sale]. What delights can be savoured? Currently planning (1) Head of Steam (Shildon), (2) Locomotion (north Road) and perhaps (3) a spin down to...

Anyone know when this will be published? Getting quite close to the event! Thank you.

Some help required on some tickets I've purchased please: Via GWR.com I purchased in July two Advance Singles Paddington to Cheltenham Spa and back (for the G&WR) for Monday 27 August 2018 (Bank Holiday) and collected via TOD. The out Advance was £19 on the 0736. Last week I checked NRE (&...

Wensleydale Railway 21 August 2018 I visited the Railway Tuesday 21 August 2018. I'm currently engaged in "heritage" railway visits mid-week to the see the state-of-play through the lens of regular punters. For myself it was a 538 mile round trip at a cost of £94.25 in train and bus fares. The...

Will be attending my first Steam Gala of this Century, what should I expect? Reason for asking is that in a SRV or NYMR thread I saw comments along the lines that it gets so busy it can be a bit of disappointing. I’m not bothered about clean shots of engines, in fact I like to take pictures with...

Some advice please on the daily travel arrangements during the WHR Superpower weekend. I looked in the archive but couldn't see an answer to my specific question: I'll be staying in Beddgelert near the station and my plan is to board at Beddgelert each morning and alight each evening. Is that...

I see that Weardale Railway are back in the Premier League and running into Bishop Auckland. This is great news for all those that love rail connected lines in “preservation”. A gorgeous looking rail car running the daily service it seems. I just need to navigate the ticket complexities of L ner...

I wish to commend the organisers and re-enactors for a highly respectful event remembering the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice during WW I and the role of narrow-gauge railways in The War to End all Wars. This was very much an event centred around the people taking part and the...

Getting close to my trip to Newquay 28/7 returning 29/7 and I really don't wish to stand! The train from Paddington has already been rescheduled from 0703 to 0630 so I'm frustrated that it's still not possible to reserve seats. Does any kind soul know if reservations will ever open...

Been reading this sub-forum for a year but don't recall this cropping up but probably has so apologies in advance: Is it considered valid to catch an earlier train when using an Advance when you know your booked train will leave you stranded? Yesterday I had a ticket combination (1) Anytime...

Was on my first trip to the SVR yesterday 23/6/2018 and suddenly remembered the Jonathan Meades documentary Severn Heaven (Abroad in Britain 1990) about the Plotlands near Bewdley. Northwood Halt (Request) seems to be the location and indeed I saw a few dwellings that fitted the bill. Can a...

For the first time ever, I need to alight at Birmingham New Street and exit the station in order to get to Birmingham Snow Hill. I've read some horror stories here about what a difficult place it can be, therefore could I please request your advise? I've got the station map from NRE and looked...

I attended the Llangollen Heritage Rail (DMU) Gala 2/6/2018 and had a lovely time, so thank you to staff and volunteers. The line goes through some stunning scenery and there is lots of token block working to observe. I sampled most of the tea rooms which were are quaint. The loadings on...

Dear Routing experts, I've purchased a Horsham to Newquay Super Off-Peak Return for £120.90 with the outward journey 28-Jly-18 and the return 28-Jly-18 to 27-Aug-18. Both tickets are "Valid via any permitted route" and have a "Maltese Cross" (actually a dagger). Can I catch the 07.03 from...
