Hey guys, I am travelling to italy next week and am trying to find out some info about the planned public transport strikes next Friday. Are they still going ahead? Is it the whole rail network or just certain regions? I’ve tried googling it and didn’t come up with much useful :(

Hello! I’m going to Spain in a few weeks and am looking at planning my trip on the railways. I usually use the DB app; but spains railways aren’t on there (or very little is!) is there another website or app that does live departures/arrivals, trip planning etc for Spain? I’m looking at all...

Hello! Wondering if anyone can help me read an old timetable, because to me it’s quite confusing! Its a North Eastern Region timetable 1963-64. See pic below. Does this mean for example, that the 5.45 stops all stations to Castleford Central, or does it mean that the 5.45 is non-stop to...

Hello! I am doing some research on old railway services in the Yorkshire area and I need some help. Can anyone tell me, or point me in the direction of how to find out, the passenger services that used to operate from Leeds Central, Leeds City and Bradford Exchange? Up until the early 1960s...

Hey guys, can a Berlin Zone ABC ticket be used on any train within the zones? ie an ICE or IC from Spandau to Hbf? Or is it just local trains? Thanks

Hey guys, I’m going to Berlin soon and I want to have a bash around Brandenburg too. I know the above ticket is valid on all local and regional services within the state of Brandenburg, but I have also read it’s valid on routes outside of Brandenburg too. Is there a comprehensive list (in...

Hey guys, long time lurker, rare poster! I am looking at spending a week or so in Berlin in the next few weeks to do some bashing around the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Trams, ICE’s, general sight seeing etc. However, I am nervous about the fact that my German is very very basic. Would this cause any...

Hey guys, I have an All Line Rover 7 day and it NEVER works in ticket barriers. Why is this? I’ve done one about 5 times now after the last few years and every single ticket barrier spits it out, saying error 112. What is error 112? Also get bored of explaining to gateline staff that just...

Hello, I'm travelling from Paddington to Cardiff Central on an "any permitted" return ticket, is it valid to go via Gloucester? Any more variations other than the standard mainline route? Thanks :)

Hello, I'm using a 7 day ALR this week and for the first couple of days it worked perfectly in ticket barriers. But from day 3 every single ticket machine hasn't accepted it. Anybody know why this is? It's going to get very irritating as I'm planning on covering a lot of journeys to make the...

Hello! I'm doing an All Line Rover in July and want to use the Night Riviera from Paddington to Penzance. I know that the ALR is valid in a seat but I'd like to sleep in a berth and I know you can buy a supplement. I went on GWR's website and all that will let me do is buy a berth and a...

Hello, would this rover be valid on the Night Riviera to Penzance with paying a supplement? I want to do this rover but spending 5 hours travelling from London to Penzance takes up a big chunk of the first day so would be alot easier to use the sleeper to do it overnight. Any advice or ideas...

I read that the electric 387s to Maidenhead were due to begin on Sunday, but according to NRE they're still only going as far as Hayes. Has the extension been delayed?

Hi guys, If I have an "any permitted" from Manchester Stations to London stations, am I allowed to travel to King's Cross via Leeds? I already have the ticket and I'm visiting friends in Leeds and am wondering if I can go home from there, or if I have to go back to Manchester and down the WCML...

Hey guys, I have an off-peak return between London and Glasgow marked "any permitted" and was wondering if people can tell me what the permitted routes were? Apart from the obvious WCML of course. I have tried the routing guide but I just got lost... Thanks!

Hey guys, Today at Tunbridge Wells station around 5.30pm I was awaiting a northbound departure, and out of the tunnel and into the southbound platform came a Thameslink purple liveried 377 working a service to Hastings! It was a shock to see a Thameslink unit at Tunbridge Wells! Have...

Hey guys! Is there, or has there any been any thoughts or plans to make Crossrail 4 tracks? For fast lines and slow lines, or just to increase capacity. Half of the problems with Thameslink is that it snarls up in the central core because it's such a bottleneck. I can't help thinking that...

This Sunday, there was engineering work around Grove Park in SE London and some Southeastern services were diverted. The mainline Charing Cross to Ramsgate via Tonbridge trains were diverted from Orpington to Victoria and stopped additionally at Bromley South. The mainline Charing Cross to...
