But there isn’t a station at Yarmouth any more! 1714040685 1714040752 Yes, that makes sense!

Good morning according to the Trainline app I can buy a ticket Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde Esplanade but not to Ryde Pier Head even though the Esplanade route involves a change at Pier Head! Any ideas why?

Hi I'm due to take the entire mid Wales line from S to N later this week. I assume there will be toilets on board but if not I may have to reconsider as it’s a long ride! I’m hoping some can put my mind at rest. Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much!

I am travelling first class Cardiff to Paddington tomorrow. Can I access the Paddington first class lounge after arrival or is it only for departing passéngers?

Sounds a great place. Thanks to everyone for the advice. Looks like I’ll be there for a good few days!

Hi I am intending to visit Knaresborough as part of a Yorkshire trip next week. I believe the town and station are well worth a visit as well as the beautiful viaduct. Can anyone supply more details, such as other local places (rail or non-rail) to visit, and how long should I stay there for...

Good morning I wish to visit the countries of Serbia, North Macedonia and Kosovo. I obviously prefer train travel after flying to the area from London. I would like to visit each capital: Belgrade, Skopje and Pristina it seems very difficult to find out which trains are running between the...

I had occasion to book a ticket on Trainline from my mobile phone when I was away from home. I paid using Apple Pay. There was no mobile ticket available. When I got to the station the machine wouldn't release the ticket as I had forgotten my credit card! Is there a way round this until all...

The attached line diagram is embedded into the Wikipedia article, and every train line seems to have such a diagram in its Wiki entry. Does anyone know if such diagrams have a name, and who produces them? I would like to be able to see them all in one place rather than have to search every...
