As some on the forum will be aware, British Rail still lives on to some degree. BRB (Residuary) Ltd. is responsible for the structures associated with closed lines and disposing of property which is no longer required for rail purposes. You might be interested in a little tool I've thrown...

I'm probably going to be travelling from Peterborough to Huddersfield and back twice in the very near future, returning in both instances on separate days. I would welcome any suggestions as to the cheapest way of doing this. I'm starting from a price of £33.20 x 2 which is for two Saver...

The new Hitachi Class 395s look very nice. I've been for a very short trip within the Ashford depot on 395002. Nothing particularly revolutionary about the interior. Reminds me a bit of TPE's Class 185s. The unique features are up in the cabs, a domestic UK train fitted with in cab...

I'm off to London tomorrow and have just been looking on NXEC's website to book tickets. It offers me a one day off peak travelcard at £18.35 and says valid in the specified zones although I can't find exactly where this is? Anyone able to enlighten me? Cheers.

As an example, if I ask for tickets for a journey from Leeds to Sheffield on National Rail, I get two SDS prices, £7.50 and £9.60. I've purchased a Leeds to Sheffield ticket in the past and it had Route: NOT DONCASTER, and think that was the cheaper price. At a guess, the more expensive one...

Hi, I'd like to get myself a copy of Locomotion but don't know where to get it from. Any suggestions? I'd prefer it if I could buy it online and download it, is this possible? Thanks. Adam
