    London Overground services missing out stops to recover the service

    I was out with my son yesterday and he was telling me a story about how he once got an Overground from Shepherds Bush to Stratford but, because the train was running late, they cut out a lot of stations and went direct to Stratford. Anyway, I was on the Overground from Shepherds Bush to...

    Getting on 'en route' for a Super Off Peak Return

    This weekend, I have to go down to Heathrow, for which I have purchased a Super Off-Peak return from York. However, there are engineering works, which means that the York to Doncaster segment is being diverted. I live in Selby, so am getting a lift to the station. However, the 0902 from York...

    Planning a trip - Suggestions and how best to buy tickets

    I've got a couple of days spare in February, and want to do a trip that will allow me to see some stuff that I wouldn't often see in the Selby / York / Donny area, and also a bit of scenery too.
