I'm planning on doing the class 395 rounders in a couple of weeks from Stratford International, going out to Ramsgate via Sittingbourne and back via Dover. What would be the best walk on ticket for a weekday for a disabled railcard holder (planning in getting off at a couple of stops to photo...

An application for the "Wrexham, Shropshire & Midlands Railway" (no connection to the former Arriva company) has appeared online for a service calling at Wrexham General, Gobowen, Shrewsbury, Telford Central, Wolverhampton, Darlaston, Walsall, Coleshill Parkway, Nuneaton, Milton Keynes (set down...

Stagecoach have won some Travel for West Midlands routes, which commenced operation yesterday. They had been up for tender in November (Stagecoach website). Transport for West Midlands website So, now the Queen Elizabeth (Birmingham) area/Solihull area Transport for West Midlands tendered...

Right, I was thinking the other day about how could Transport for West Midlands/Midland Metro Alliance get the Midland Metro to Stourbridge Town/Junction without: Causing significant tram work chaos in Brierley Hill, Merry Hill and Stourbridge centres (especially the former 2, with Brierley...

With the London North Western 350/2s being due to be replaced soon, what do people think is next for them? Personally I think that the middle cars could be ideal for moving into either the 350/1s to make them 5 car units, or moving into the former 450/5s to make them 5 car units. There again...

I'm looking for train services that run wholly within the same Council area (such as for example the Stourbridge Town - Junction service runs wholly within the Dudley Council area) This includes services wholly within the same City/District/Borough/County Council area, but not "Combined...

My brother turns 30 start of next month. He's just renewed his 26-30 railcard as he's still got a few trips to theme parks (involving getting the train) planned for this year. Am I right in saying that he can't renew his railcard this time next year even though he'll be 30 when it expires?

Proposed amendment to Metro penalty fares | Transport for West Midlands (tfwm.org.uk) What do people think of this change?

I am seriously getting miffed off with eon next. My mother has a prepayment meter with them (well, I say them, she was a former MEB then npower customer before npower were brought by eon.) Back in September the meter decided to go blank so she couldn't see how much she had left on it. Phoned...

I was having a think of this and if things got so bad emissions wise that Andy Street demanded that the government started electrifying the Snow Hill lines in Brum, where would the logical place to start the first phase of it be? For me I would ask, would Smethwick to Stourbridge be the logical...

With the traffic levels they are today, what roads that ended up being proposed but failed to be built do you think would be useful today? To me, as a resident of the western part of the Black Country, the Western Orbital would have been ideal as it would have reduced the need for local traffic...

Is it me, or has the NWM Daytrippers started go onto the new ticket stock that West Midlands Railway have been using. It is really annoying as the old dedicated CC sized ticket stock was useful when boarding a bus in the West Midlands area, the driver could tell from the colour stock that it...

Does anyone have a current fleet list (with previous and current regs) for the above stagecoach operation?

We all know that at the moment, political manifestos are bigger works of fiction than a JK Rowling novel, politicians promising the earth during campaign season, and delivering peanuts when push comes to shove. Do You think it's about time that the party (or coalition) that gets a majority...

As we know from this Brexit debarcal, Politics are broken (in my opinion). We have a unelected upper house, a country run by people who are just born or have bunged a few quid to their mates in order to become a Lord. The Lords earn £305 per day attendance allowance, plus travel expenses and...

Having been looking at the WM Rail timetable and ones over the years, I've noticed they've missed an opportunity to realign the Snow Hill lines timetable to a standard pattern at the Worcester end. At the moment Shrub Hill gets a service from Stourbridge every hour and half with some carrying...

At the moment the likes of the north end of the Chase Line from Walsall have seen a number of early terminators on the line due to late running from the ex London services, whereas the stopper ex Wolverhampton seems to be near enough on time when it terminates at Walsall. Instead of leaving the...

Hi folks. I'm trying to trace a few coaches that have been owned by Parks of Hamilton at various stages and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me. I only have the VRM, Chassis and dates/Places I've seen them so if anyone would be able to help me with their current identities That...
