This week's Camden New Journal reports on a presentation last Monday (February 12th) at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in Bloomsbury that proposes putting a 'forest park' on top of Euston station, with - if I read it correctly - a linear park running from it, all the way to...

Which are timetabled to take just 23 minutes Hammersmith to Heathrow T2/T3, around 10 minutes faster than the tube would have been.

Does anyone know if there are good alternatives to the Trainline Ticket alert that covers all routes and all operators (or at least Avanti and LNR, who I am specifically interested in)? The Trainline has changed how theirs works. Instead of just needing to enter the route and date, it now asks...

Actually, there are two arrival screens at Euston (or were last week!). Both old-style TV monitor-type affairs. Neither obviously located to be fair. One is on the main concourse, roughly near the top of platform 12, one in the waiting room between the ramps to platforms 15 and 16.

Uno are quitting Northampton from March 10, 2024. It's existing University of Northampton routes will be taken over by Stagecoach. What happens to its rural service to Guilsborough, Welford and Market Harborough is still uncertain. Report in the Northampton Chronicle & Echo here...

I didn't stop to ask if that's where they came from, but there was quite a crowd of people at Rugby at 2310 as I go off the delayed delayed 2146 Euston-Crewe, which arrived just after the failed Glasgow train finally got there.

Now one at Rugby, at the top of the ramp between platforms 2 and 4.

Hampshire map. The latest is dated June 2023. Yes, the Salisbury Reds ticket office is closed, but there's a rack of timetables at the Salisbury Information Centre in Fish Row.

Salisbury Reds have printed timetables for all routes. They're available from the tourist information centre in the city centre, along with copies of the latest Hampshire County Council New Forest and Andover books, and Hampshire county-wide map.

Sorry, but as someone who walks and cycles it regularly, I can assure you the station is definitely downhill from the town centre (a nice freewheel on the bike!). According to the Ordnance Survey, Rugby station entrance is 91 metres above sea level. The market square right in the town centre is...

Covid restrictions on public transport in Taiwan were finally lifted today, with masks no longer a legal requirement. Signage at MRT stations had completely vanished overnight, although it is still there on most buses. Given that 90-95% of people still routinely wear one in the street (oddly...

First class tickets are also showing as 'not available' more or less across the board on their booking engine, though I did find one or two early morning exceptions. If it is a change, they are keeping very quiet about it!

Yes, Murray Road and Railway Terrace are busy at peak times but the present station has decent bus links (which, being realistic, Houlton is never going to match), and there are car parks both sides of the 'tunnel', neither of which I have seen full post-Covid. North side, there's also the...

As a general point, I think that's questionable. What I suspect will happen is that HS2 will create new demand, but that the cheaper, slower (although depending where your starting point and final destination are, perhaps not that much) services will remain very popular. That has certainly been...

When the station is very busy, one problem the new boards seem to have created is that, because they can be seen from much closer to the top of the ramps than the old ones, the crowd looking at them encroaches significantly on the walkway that was beneath the old boards by the takeaways. Last...

It's on amazon UK here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/bwegt-Kursbuch-Baden-Württemberg-2023-Regionalverbindungen-Nahverkehrsgesellschaft/dp/3943551180/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1J4M2ZZ4NKY14&keywords=bwegt&qid=1672834070&s=books&sprefix=bwegt,stripbooks,214&sr=1-2 It says 'map' but it's not. It's the...

I was in Germany just before Christmas where printed DB timetables were widely available - and new ones on racks in advance of the December changeover date. DB have stopped printing their timetable book, although pdfs of tables are available online. There is still a printed 1000+ page...

Have just travelled on a DB Inter City Express from Basel to Karlsruhe. Mask wearing compliance around 70% (mix of FP2 and 'ordinary'). The on-train announcement said it was compulsory, although when the train manager came through the carriage, he said nothing to anyone not wearing one, and...

X59 was a City of Oxford and Midland Red joint route. Looking at my old timetables, it wasn't there in 1975 but was by 1981, when there were four through workings Mon-Sat and a couple of short ones. There is still a service between Southam and Banbury, albeit a Saturday only shopping bus that...

For once, credit to whoever it was (there were no doubt many hands involved) for releasing the information. Did anyone seriously believe it wouldn't get out before Tuesday anyway, officially or otherwise? Even late on Friday in a period of national mourning when people's thoughts are elsewhere...
