I caught the 05.54 from Milford Haven on a Saturday last June and was the only passenger as far as Haverfordwest. What amazed me was that three teenagers got off the inward working from Carmarthen. I wondered why they wanted to be in Milford so early.

It has just arrived at Mallaig with 45407, so must be a problem with TRUST 1691581964 There were 12 WCR staff in hi vis on board

Please don't make condescending comments without checking different sources This is from the Daily Telegraph ; On arrival, we were told our room was unavailable, but they’d managed to find us an identical one. It turned out not to be a double bed or even twins, but two super-narrow bunks, one...

But she says this was not the room she booked, so I assume she would have seen and booked the double. The bunks look unsuitable for an 83 year old and surely Caledonian Sleeper should have taken this into consideration before moving her

I travelled on the Breezer yesterday and the timetable has changed. Unfortunately only the driver seems to know the new times, as the old times were still on the website, with nothing on their social media. Clearly the times were unrealistic -we took 40 minutes with very few stops. Fortunately I...

I have had the opposite experience at Leamington, The TVM won't sell me a ticket to Walsall without specifying times and refusing some trains because it thinks reservations are compulsory, while the clerk is happy to sell the ticket without any questions. She even joked 'We're not so nosey'

Lady of Legend was back in service yesterday.

The 20.23 is now on RTT showing as a VAR schedule for 25th March only.

Definitely no ticket acceptance on Cross Country. Yesterday before leaving New Street the train manager included TFW in her long list of tickets not valid on this train- so much for the new spirit of cooperation. I think it's Avanti and West Midland trains, although the message has gone from the...

Sometimes I despair of the current railway. I purchased a ticket from Leamington to a West Midland station at 7.30 a few days ago. As this is an anytime any permitted route ticket it seems ridiculous that you have to go through the process of selecting outward and return times. Even worse is the...

I was recently on the platform at Carmarthen when one of TFWs agency workers came up and rather rudely demanded to see my ticket. As this is not a penalty fare station and I had not boarded or a alighted from a train I was wondering whether he was entitles to see it- I could have been meeting...

I had an example today of what should be done. My RRB from Derby was heavily delayed by traffic congestion and we arrived at Burton at 17.50 just as the train was due to depart. We were greeted by staff shouting 'No need to run, we're holding the train'. Everyone made the connection, the train...

Although the trains are back to normal at least one replacement bus was seen at Kenilworth this afternoon. I could understand keeping one on standby but why waste money duplicating the trains?

Borth, as the train passes round Borth bog and through the closed station at Ynyslas

The bus archive at Walsall https://www.busarchive.org.uk/ contains an extensive collection of timetables for all uk operators, including GMTE. In many cases we have an almost complete collection from the 1920s to the present day.

Leamington Platform 1 currently has 2 departures a day. Although passenger trains can depart from it the only route in is a shunt move. Are there any others that can only be used for departures?

Bow Street does have an effect on timekeeping as it reduces the turnround at Aberystwyth to six minutes, giving no chance to recover from delays- previously four or five minutes could be regained.

Yesterday 1V85 11.33 New street -Banbury was shown as cancelled between Leamington and Banbury due to lineside vegetation, and today some Leamington -Coventrty trains are cancelled for the same reason. As these are and different routes, and other trains are running normally over them I assume...

Platform 3 at Dorridge is signalled for movements in either direction so it could have been used to turn back without going north of the station. Would it not have been better for Warwick Parkway and Dorridge passengers to have a through train rather than change to a bus, and Leamington...

While it is true that Banbury is easier than Leamington as a place for Chiltern to terminate why was one train per hour not run to Dorridge? There were no other trains there and it would have benefited Leamington passengers and provided a service south from Dorridge, which had no trains atall.
