Yesterday I witnessed a lady with her dog, only a small one, but the dog was asleep on the seat, no blanket protection either; I only noticed as I was getting off so I mentioned it to the guard. I presume dogs are certainly not allowed to sit on the seats, as (a) it must surely be unhealthy - I...

Tried to find a thread on this but can't find, apologies and please link if there is one. Nothing comes up on "search". Not been to that area for a fortnight, but the redevelopment was supposed to be finished by now, according tot he proposals "early 2024". Is it finished and open, if not are...

Milton Keynes > London Blackfriars. I understand that the Super Off-Peak Day Travelcard is only valid on West Midlands Trains, but the validity part says "Same day return off-peak travel including unlimited bus, tube, tram and DLR journeys around London" but omits using rail (overground/Eliz...

Is there an exit with gates on the south bank so I can walk directly to the pub? I know you can walk across the bridge/station for "free" but I'll be alighting a train. Thanks!!

Reading Labours proposals covered on the main thread, makes me wonder how you can automatically refund a pax if their train is delayed? Unless hey have a specific train ticket (which may not be used anyway) how would they know you were on that train that was delayed, many would simply have...

Walking along London Road in Brighton I noted that there were double red no parking lines, which I thought only appeared in London and around some airports. Do any other towns/cities have double red lines?

The only map I can find is this one below, and to get from Warrington to Northwich I would have to leave the area and re-enter it, on the 9a or 9CAT buses. Idea is to travel by rail to Warrington, and return from Northwich. It appears on the rail line between Knutsford and Northwich you do...

Quick question, is the radar-key toilet on Deansgate Manchester open in the evenings? Asking because I'll be arriving there on a tram and if there's a wait for my train connection I'll possibly require the toilet. Thanks!!

When you see (even on Split Ticketing) that on Sunday an adult would pay no less than £145 for a return Bristol Temple Meads to Newcastle, makes me think that once a fare reaches three figures it simply puts potential passengers - customers - off and they look elsewhere. If the maximum you...

Booked man/Euston and return with an advance, out on Mon, back on Fri, so specific trains only. If there are strikes and I can't travel, can I go the day before/after on that ticket (any train around the same time); alternatively how easy is it to get a full refund off Avanti? Thanks! Edit...

Just about to book a flight from Manchester for a few days in April - not Easter hols! Thinking of using the branch line, so is there a get on/off day ticket, and is there anything worth seeing/doing around the stations? Note, I like cozy pubs and not-too severe walks, and little friendly cafes...

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/04/eurostar-st-pancrasmay-cap-services-post-brexit-passport-checks-warns-station-owner While I'm still relatively in the dark over the new system, I assume our biometrics (fingerprints/iris scans) will be taken at the border as opposed to doing...

Greater Manchester is, slowly, introducing tap-in/out for some of it's rail stations. Great, very convenient and all that; however those like me with railcards won't get the benefit of a discount so we still need to purchase a ticket. I know some systems like the OV Chipcard in Netherlands can...

Thinking of this trip in March. Using London City > Rotterdam to avoid Schiphol. Once at the airport thinking of bus 33 from the airport to Meijersplien, take the metro to Den Haag centraal, then the train to Haarlem. Question, how do I pay for that; I'm hoping that you simply present your...

Next year, which starts next week (!) I will be entitled to my OAP's bus pass and intend to add the local rail useage for a tenner. The rules are clear, in Greater Manchester use - on trains - is restricted to outside the morning peak. Fair enough, but Northern who run the majority of trains in...

Regarding the tree causing severe damage to the HST, if a passer by (say over a bridge) sees something on a line which is potentially dangerous, how would one report it that (a) would immediately get through and (b) be dealt with quickly? If I saw something like an over-blown tree my instant...

What is the procedure if this happens, would the pax with advance ticket be entitled to the difference refunded, and if so how would they go about it? Also will you still be allowed to sit in your chosen seat as per ticket? Read rumours that some TOCs have been asked to declassify over Xmas to...

Reading the trains not stopping in the right places at stations thread, made me wonder if, despite the driver on seeing a red signal, attempting to stop in good time, but the train not gripping and sliding past, maybe downhill in icy rails, (a) what sanctions - if any - would a driver face (ie...

https://twitter.com/matthew_drama/status/1727259102412415406 If the teacher is correct, and they have an incorrect code through no fault of their own, why can't the ticket office correct that, or the guard simply let them on?? For goodness sakes, to have to revert to twitter when you can't...

Simon Calder (travel reporter) reports in the south people being asked to "work from home" tomorrow. https://twitter.com/SimonCalder/status/1719653767576982009 Doesn't actually say who has warned them!! Sensible precautions or over-reacting? Possibly with the ground saturated from a very...
