Hello I have booked a few days in Glasgow later this month to try out a few scenic Scottish rail line, such as new Borders Line. Would you recommend the Jacobite train Fort William - Mallaig and return ? How comfortable is it and is first class worth the extra ? Is it possible to purchase...

Want to use this line to visit St Albans tomorrow. It's much cheaper to use Oyster PAYG to Watford Junction than to buy a through ticket from my home station of Brondesbury Park. Do I remember correctly that there are guards/conductors on these LM trains who will sell you tickets ? Thanks...

Would be most grateful for someone's help with this. I am intending to travel from London to Stratford-upon-Avon tomorrow, returning Friday on a Chiltern Railway off peak return £ 27-50. Is this ticket valid via Birmingham Moor Street on Chiltern mainline, then on London Midland to...

I was born and brought up in North Harrow and lived there until 1975. I always remember at Rayners Lane station 4 sidings behind the Uxbridge direction (Up?) plaform. I seem to remember coal wagons often being left there though why they would be delivering coal to an electrified underground line...

Any one have any ideas as to the identity of the station in the Match.com TV advert ? "Girl on the platform smiled ..... " I thought maybe somewhere on South West route out of London Waterloo.
