Coming out of other threads, a couple of questions: 1. What is the total number of stations in the country, not only on National Rail, but also TfL (London Underground, DLR, Tramlink), other Metros (etc) and preserved railways in GB, and also Northern (or even all) Ireland? (Ideally broken down...

Coming out of another thread, a trivia question: what is the earliest 'last connection' that needs to be made for an arrival that (traffic) day? A quick look for a likely contender gives Newton Abbot arr 0650 (from Torre, etc.) into 0659 dep, for connection at Birmingham, and then others, to...

Can anybody point me at statistics (or provide the figures) showing the busiest stations in the UK (TfL, National Rail or whoever), or even globally, by number of trains (departures/arrivals/movements per day/year)? (All those readily available are by passengers). At a guess I would suggest...

Raising as new thread, from this one on timetables, quoting posts from there, as a separately interesting one While the 'Up to London' (or the main centre for the railway) convention is generally understood, and widely quoted, there are I believe exceptions, and lines for which is it not...

I understand that driving cabs are equipped with GSM-R phones, for drivers to communicate with signalmen. Beyond that, what other voice (or other) communication is possible? Who else has handsets? Can drivers communicate with Network Rail or TOC controls? What about guards/conductors? Are their...

For those who have looked at Rail Route (see thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/demo-free-to-play-rail-route-a-rail-network-simulation-indie-game.163193/ ), and enjoy that style of simulation, an alternative (long established: it's now at 3.9s) is Train Director (seemingly not...
