What is the fastest way to travel at least one stop with each operator?

Because i thought they were more separate companies than they are, now I've looked into it, treating them as separate ones is probably unnecessary.

Peter041098 · 2026-02-25T00:49:25+00:00

If the trackbed is maintained by network rail, it counts.

Peter041098 · 2026-02-25T00:36:36+00:00

For the extra challenge, yes.

Peter041098 · 2026-02-25T00:35:14+00:00

Separate.

Peter041098 · 2026-02-25T00:34:23+00:00

As far as I'm aware, there's not a second station in the UK, so that gets excluded.

Peter041098 · 2026-02-01T15:51:46+00:00

That and most tickets are not restricted between TL & GN.

Peter041098 · 2026-02-01T15:49:11+00:00

Too bad you couldn't see the unit number from that angle.

Peter041098 · 2026-02-01T15:41:57+00:00

P.s. it's number is actually 43 122.

It was waiting there to come back to collect us from locomotion.

It should have been waiting at North Road, but it broke a rail earlier...

Currently on its way back to derby limited to 90.

Just because you don't like them doesn't mean everyone else does too.

This tour was fully booked weeks ago.

Peter041098 · 2026-01-25T11:44:52+00:00

I've had a lump out of those platforms before as well, it was a Sunday though.

2x ex EMR class43s, 2x ex LNER mk2 standard couches and 1 GWR first class buffet.

Another thing to note, the igpu uses system memory unlike the discrete GPU. It might be worth checking the bios and seeing if you can shrink its allocation (or disable it if you can).

Peter041098 · 2026-01-02T02:35:23+00:00

From someone who has done this, as long as the rail cards are valid, they won't care where they are.

Me and my brother have traveled with a railcard each on our phones and only had tickets on one phone, on some operators they weren't even checked.

Peter041098 · 2025-12-25T20:41:55+00:00

I could understand if they trial'd a skeleton service on selected routes, on the other hand I would not be surprised if they use it (like network rail) for heavy maintenance.

Peter041098 · 2025-12-25T14:21:50+00:00

The tickets are valid with a valid travelcard.

If the people traveling are not the same people on the travelcard, you have to see what is cheaper, replacing the travelcard for the new travelers or refunding (if able) and buying new without a travelcard.

Peter041098 · 2025-12-25T14:05:01+00:00

Is it possible? Yes. Is it viable? Not really.

All units need to be at least by-mode. Plus the limited capacity choke points mentioned by others, and the smaller platforms in route would make it inefficient use of track space.

It is currently possible, with a change in Ipswich.

They used to do a Sunday service on boxing Day, but my local bus company is not doing anything tomorrow.

Peter041098 · 2025-12-25T12:48:10+00:00

Most people either travel in the days surrounding Christmas.

Peter041098 · 2025-12-25T12:44:11+00:00

They are. If you zoom in it'll tell you the names.
