Hi all My wife is travelling back to Chester from the tennis on Monday 3 July, and wants to leave as late as possible from Wimbledon. NR gives a 2020 departure from Wimbledon, changing at Clapham Junction and Watford Junction. She is concerned at the 5 minute change which NR gives at WFJ. I...

Hi all This is a hypothetical situation, but one which I'm sure will happen at some point. My local station is Bache, which is unstaffed with one TVM. Fairly often this is not working (it actually has a metal shutter which comes down across it, presumably to stop theft attempts). When...

Hi! I am looking to travel from Bache to Huddersfield and back on Thursday 26 May, and could do with a bit of advice. I am aiming to be in Huddersfield for mid-to-late morning. I gather the walk-up fare is around 27 quid, can it be done any cheaper? I can't buy in advance as I won't decide...

Hi Whether you agree with the practice or not, I find Urban Exploration websites very interesting. Anyway, one site has got recent photos from the space under Manchester Victoria station. In one area is a 142 cab (just the very front, the yellow bit). Does anyone know anything about it? Is it...
