    Visiting all the West Highland Line stations

I figured that it could also help anyone else who wanted to do something like this, albeit perhaps without a few of...

    Hi all, I have noticed that I cannot get the 'via Barnham' routed fares between Kent and places such as Southampton that were previously available to show up on any ticket selling website. For example, this fare is listed on BRFares...

    European coaching stock identification

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone was able to explain the logic behind naming different types of coaches, such as Bee, Ampz, etc. I know that A and B refer to 1st/2nd class but no idea about the rest. Thanks :)

    Northern Line stock numbering

    Hi all, Going through my notes from January and I find that I have noted down travelling on Northern line sets 51915 + 51715, although now that I am comparing this to my list I cannot find any 519xx vehicles listed. I'm fairly certain I didn't make a mistake, so any idea where this set has come...

    Polish Numbering System

    I was looking at various different Polish locomotives and I'm completely confused by the numbering/classification system they use. As an example, here's locomotive BR285-121: "BR 285 121" is displayed above the LOTOS logo. The number just below is part of its EVN, and I can't work out what the...

    GWR Class 158s being reformed into 2-cars

    GWR have begun reforming their 3-car 158s into 2-car formations, starting today with 158769 made up of 52769 + 57769 previously of 158960. From what I understand, some will be kept as 3 cars and will work with the 2 cars on the remaining Portsmouth 158 diagrams from December. The rest will be...

    sftfan's Track Clearance Adventure

    Hi all.

I figured it's worth a try to have something to kill spare time with and who knows, I might...

    Outboundary Travelcards and split ticketing

    Usually when I visit London on a Saturday I use a combination of an off-peak day return to Didcot Parkway and an outboundary day travelcard from Didcot to zones 1-6. I'm well aware of rule 14.2 in the NRCoC and have used this previously to combine tickets from the zones to elsewhere. My question...
