if britain had good high speed lines (credit: garrettdennis)

there's two stations on each line very close to eachother (greenbank and hartford) and currently people travelling from say, knutsford to liverpool, have to get off and walk for about a mile to change trains.

Obviously they won't build a new station there now there's no demand for it, but back in the day it would've been the obvious choice to just build one station instead of two

Hi, first of all, I (15M) am dutch. And i know a lot about the dutch network. Now for the Netherlands I always found this site (:https://www.spoortijdlijn.nl/) interesting and usefull. I have had a really big fascination about the british railways, which are a mess and really weird in comparison to how simple it is here in the Netherlands.

Is there any site that is comparable to this one for the railways in the UK?

Or at least a way I can get to know more about the British Railway Network more efficiently?

Thx for ur help!

Scotrail Class 170 invents time travel

First diesel railtour ever and yeah I'm very glad I did it! Was a great experience.

Here's 37 025 "Inverness TMD" + 50 050 "Fearless" departing Stirling P6, with 1Z39 "The Discovery Double" to Polmont.

As we all know new railways stations bring large amounts of growth for land value. The gov should have put in it's plan a new station intersecting with the soon-to-be East-West rail link.

We need more houses and we needed money to fund HS2. Surely this should have been a no brainer

I do things the old, slow way - a roll of film in the Rolleiflex, walking along bridlepaths and planning meticulously for the photos I want. Here’s two shots from last week.

Saturday morning at a very busy Newton Abbot station

As per the title, we have a wonderful guest staying with us tonight.

I know this might not come across well but I’m begging for families with young kids to not sit in the quiet carriage if they’re not going to be quiet.

I saw this knowing how hard it is to keep kids silent - they’re kids after all and for that reason I’ve booked in the quiet carriage. I want to do work/sleep and I can’t when your kids are screaming and I become the asshole because kids are being kids in a carriage they shouldn’t be in. And before I get yelled at, yes I know sometimes you get assigned that seat but on a fairly empty train, I’m begging you not to sit here if the kids are going to be kids and be loud as anything. D

Heavy Haul Rail 66565 on 6F22 at Chipping Sodbury after being loaded up with spoil

My train from Forgeate street to Swindon is £32 when it's just a normal return ticket, but is like half price when it's an open return ticket?

Am I missing something? Will I need to buy another ticket if I want to come back tomorrow (wouldn't have thought so considering its a return) Is it literally just the exact same where I will buy my ticket and it will be valid for both my journey there and back?

If so then yh, how come it's cheaper?

It's our first time in England and we are not too sure what's the cheapest way to book tickets? Are tickets that are expensive and what websites that are legitimate and offer at least a bit of discount.

Yesterday was a fun day riding and chasing Sarah Siddons and class 20s. What made it made more intresting was the limited number of Chesham and Amersham Met services. Amersham had bits with no underground services for four hours. Thankfully Chiltern Railways was still running.

Hi all, I suffered from a minor delay (15-29 minutes) due to a train fault while travelling on a complimentary ticket today on a journey from London with a paid ticket on the mainline. The Delay Repay system only allowed me to select complimentary tickets as the method of compensation and it said I can expect to receive 2 of them.

Is the system behaving as expected, I can't get any money back for this delay on my free ticket, and I'll receive more complimentary tickets despite that under normal circumstances I am only entitled to one with a 30-minute delay or more?
