    I am on a train from Hamburg to Copenhagen and twice now we have been passed by a full set of Czech carriages. I've googled for a while and cannot work out where they have come from. First set was just north of Hamburg so assumed coming off a depot for a service to Prague. The second was...

    So, I have been looking at trying to use the new service via castleford to and from work. It doesn't show the option in national rail journey planner unless you force it to to go via Castleford, even though it's quicker at times than via Leeds. It also shows no ticket options. If I was to...

    DB Tickets - Change Seat Reservation

    Sorry to add to the multitude of enquiries about the DB website recently! I have made an error and booked a Super Sparpreis ticket from Prague to Frankfurt via Regensburg with a reservation in the Ruhebereich, which I understand to be the quiet carriage. As much as my wife would love to force...

    Rail Staff Travel (RST) online Avoid/Barred

    Hi folks, Just got access to RST online for booking leisure tickets and I have scoured the FAQs but not found anything. Why do some services for what appears to be no reason say barred or avoid? It doesn't give any information as to why they are. Seems specific to cross country off peak...

    Connections on seperate advance tickets

    I am assuming there is no protection at all for missing connections say between LNER and Eurostar or between Eurostar and TGV trains in Paris. Choosing between point to point tickets and interrail and point to point is cheaper but obviously interrail gives more flexibility when missing...

    Got myself a bit confused. I am trying to look at Aviemore to Leeds for Sunday 24th October. LNER are saying all fares are available including cheap advance fares, but it is only showing standard anytime singles. Weekends before show advances available, but not the weekends after. They surely...

    Is it worth doing both sides of the Rhine?

    I have done the Rhine Valley railway from Cologne to Mainz, did it on an IC service so went down the West side. I have a potential trip (COVID dependant) and wondered if anyone has done the other side and is it worth it? Or is it just much of the same? Feels like you'd get a different view, but...
