Hi all, I’m travelling from York to Otford tomorrow, August 23, on the below ticket. The machine, in its ineffable wisdom, has given the following reservation for the SouthEastern leg of the journey - does this tie me to that specific train or can I break my journey at Kings Cross and step out...

Had an intriguing incident happen to me on the 28th November and would like to have my confusion cleared up if possible. On the 28th, me and my girlfriend set off from Ealing Broadway to Southend Airport, buying open return tickets to the airport to return Monday 1st. This was about 9:30 in the...

Sat on the 11:12 out of reading with a loud'inspector sands' message blasting across the concourse with a lot of passengers looking worried! Anyone got any news on this?

Hi all, my housemate and two of his family took a Southwest service from Waterloo to Syon Lane, arriving at around 2pm and paying using their Oyster cards, tapping in at Waterloo. Owing to a powercut however, they couldn't tap out and so naturally will have an incomplete journey. My question...

A member of train crew is unavailable, and all these services are cancelled/ bustituted!? Is this a typo within NRE or can one missing staff member really necessitate all these changes!? 19:02 Longbridge to Birmingham New Street 19:10 Rugeley Trent Valley to Birmingham New Street 19:50 Four...

NRE reporting delays through Didcot Parkway due to 'A problem currently under investigation at Didcot Parkway.' Seeing as I was planning to go home to Didcot this weekend from Ealing, does anyone have any idea what it is/ the scale of the problem? Normally I wouldn't bat an eyelid at delay...

Here's one of those things I've always been meaning to ask but never have actually got round to doing it: What is the purpose of the zone signs at stations eg "Blue Zone", "Purple Zone", "Orange Zone" - also what do the big signs saying OFF mean? I'll probably find some more to ask about...

Interesting "race" going on out of Reading today between the Wales bound HST and the CX train pulling out at the same time. We (HST) overtook the CX, they came back, we overtook again, they came back and eventually pulled away. My question is, was this meant to happen or was it a case of...

If I buy an "Off Peak Day Travelcard" which offers "Unlimited off-peak travel by bus, train, tube within relevant London Zones for one day", does that mean I can get any train or am I restricted to use the ones I've booked on? My journey is: DID-PAD, PAD-CHX and the same return, if it helps...

Was out today playing footie with the lads when a Direct Rail Services class 37 came thundering past (and when I say thundering, I mean the roar was deafening). Not often anything in Didcot can be described as a treat, but I've never seen one before... Anyone know why it came past here or where...

Right, we haven't had a game for a while, as noted in this rather sternly worded rebuke by a Mrs Trellis of North Wales, which has affixed to it this letter: Dear Xxxx, Why are we not allowed to talk about you any more? I can't for the life of me Imogen why... You're disappointedly, Mrs...
