The thread title says it all really, but, having had enough of this now, I am prompted to ask a few questions: Is it possible for the headspans to be replaced (effectively) like for like with the portal structures seen elsewhere on the GWML, to try and avoid problems on one line taking out all...

When you look up a train ticket on National Rail (on desktop at least) you can view the restrictions on a ticket by clicking the ticket type before clicking "Buy Now". Other suppliers may vary - I tried a journey booking on GWR and no link to the restrictions came up. These restrictions however...

I hope this is in the right section, but a few threads recently have got me thinking about cab design, especially the apparent issues that the unions have with the 769s on GWR and the introduction of 701s on SWR. As an outsider to both the engineering and the politics of this, various questions...

Quick question on travel from Windsor and Eton Central to Oxford via Slough on 11 September - when I am trying to buy a ticket, GWR is showing all the fast London to Oxford trains as reservation compulsory and with no availability on any of the xx.35 trains from Slough between 8.35am and 8.35pm...

I am planning travel from Windsor and Eton Central (WNC) to Taynuilt (TAY) and National Rail gives four iteneraries per day: 0959 WNC -> 1919 TAY £178.40 1059 WNC -> 2100 TAY £178.40 1800 WNC -> 1102 TAY £178.40 (next day - overnight on sleeper, so not including sleeper supplement) 2346 WNC ->...

Prompted by a comment in another thread, I was wondering if there was any idea when services will generally all be bookable with confirmed timetables 12 weeks in advance. Looking at National Rail, they are showing some services not being confirmed until the week before travel (admittedly, this...

I suspect that I will just be hit by the 'Windsor trap' of two routes with different companies setting the fares, but I will ask anyway... I need to travel on 16 December at about lunchtime from either Windsor station to London City Airport on the DLR. All I really care about is being able to...

I am going to be travelling to London later this week - departing sometime after 10am and returning around 6.30 pm. Due to my plans I would like to be able to travel to/from either Windsor station to allow me to get to Paddington, Waterloo or Victoria and travel round London when I arrive...

I was buying an advance ticket yesterday at the station as I had RTVs to spend. As there was some time waiting in the queue I pulled up NRE on my phone to get prices for tickets. When I got to the counter I asked for the exact tickets I wanted, but the price was almost double. When I queried...

This may not be the place to ask this - I guessed Infrastructure as it pertains to construction - but I hope someone can supply an answer. Watching the first of the series on BBC 2 about Crossrail, I am sure I saw a digger on a construction site with flashing blue lights. In addition to this...

I have planned a couple of journeys that involve cross London transfers during the forthcoming tube strikes and I was wondering what my options are in relation to alternative travel. The journey is in two parts with a combination of tickets: Part 1 Didcot Parkway to Zone 1 (for onward...

I was attempting to travel from Didcot to Oxford on the 20:25 today and would return later this evening. I got to the station to buy my ticket and the ticket office was closed but the ticket vending machines were open. The ticket I wished to purchase was the Oxford Evening Out for £3...

My friend came to visit me over the weekend and was confused (as I have become since looking at the FGW and National Rail websites). Journey details: Leaving London at or after 18:30 on a Friday evening returning around 12:00 on Sunday. Travel on the route via Ascot is fine as the ultimate...

I am traveling from Aldershot to Kings Cross next Friday (28 Jan) for a meeting, and work have kindly provided me with a ticket. As the destination is in London, this is a day travelcard valid between Aldershot & London Zones 1-6, route Any Permitted National Rail Enquiries provides the...
