Item: Waverley Station, Edinburgh
Location: Waverley Station, Princes Street, Edinburgh, Scotland
by Anglecynn
Review: It is said to be the seventh-largest railway station in the world, but I find that hard to believe. Once, some three hundred years ago, it was a botanical garden growing all kinds of medicinal herbs, some of which would probably be illegal […]

Item: Edinburgh Waverley Station to Aberdeen by Rail
Location:
by Anglecynn
Review: I travel to Aberdeen fairly regularly and this is one of the most enjoyable train journeys in the UK in some ways. I should add, however, that the fares are not cheap and they look as if they may increase yet more in the […]

Item: The TGV Train from Paris to Agde
Location:
by Anglecynn
Review: This was an exciting journey as I had never been on the TGV (Train a Grande Vitesse/High Speed Train) before. Whereas Great Britain has had a rather fraught relationship with trains since Beeching closed great swathes of the network down in the early […]

Item: State Railway of India
Location: India
by AnnaHeather
Review: There is one word to describe the railway in India: confusing. Never have I been involved with such a mind boggling system to get from point A to point B. India’s railways are said to be the second largest in the world, behind China. […]

Item: Wythall raiway station
Location:
by fredhound
Review: Wythall railway station is a little bit of an oddity, in that it lies within the county of Worcestershire, but for reasons of practicality is included within the West Midlands area covered by Network West Midlands’ range of tickets such as the Centrocard. The centre of the village […]

Item: Eurostar from London to Paris
Location:
by Andrew HN Gray
Review: I was anticipating the journey from London to Paris. First of all, the departure point was St Pancras Station in London, which has been done up at (no doubt) great cost. The result is a veritable palace when you consider the standard of workmanship […]

Item: The Edinburgh Glasgow Train
Location:
by Andrew Gray
Review: It is said that the Edinburgh to Glasgow – and the Glasgow to Edinburgh - train-line is the busiest in Europe. I don’t know about that. If it’s true, it’s strange that it should be in one of the smaller countries in northern […]

Item: Dubai Metro (Red Line)
Location: Dubai, U.A.E
by Krung Krung
Review: I was very thrilled that i was one of the first passengers that rode to Dubai’s new transport system, the Dubai Metro. It opened publicly last Sept. 9, 2009, and luckily at that time, i was working in Dubai and there’s one station quite close […]

Item: Birmingham Moor Street
Location: Birmingham Moor Street Station, Birmingham, UK
by 16 Cigarettes
Review: This railway station located in the UK’s second city offers a great transport service for commuters in particular.
It’s a pretty small and intimate place, but since it’s revamp the place looks inviting and is very navigable with a great design and […]

Item: Worcester Shrub Hill railway station
Location: Shrub Hill, Worcester, England
by fredhound
Review: Worcester Shrub Hill railway station is one of two stations in Worcester. It is rather larger than Foregate Street, and is the main station for longer-distance services – from here you can catch trains to London, Bristol, Oxford and a number of other […]

Item: Cradley Heath railway station
Location: Cradley Heath, West Midlands, England
by fredhound
Review: Cradley Heath railway station in the West Midlands serves the town of that name, and is also the closest station to the large Merry Hill shopping centre in Dudley, since Dudley does not have a central station of its own. Cradley Heath station […]

Location:
by forevergrateful12
Review: The New York City Subway is used by millions of people every day. This is how people get to work, get to school if they communte to a college or going to high school/middle school nearby, or even if they are just going out for the […]

Item: Stourbridge Town railway station
Location: Stourbridge, West Midlands, England
by fredhound
Review: Stourbridge Town railway station is a small station near the centre of the town of Stourbridge in the West Midlands of England. It is reached by means of a very short branch line - just three quarters of a mile long - from the […]

Item: Stourbridge Junction railway station
Location: Stourbridge, West Midlands, England
by fredhound
Review: Stourbridge Junction railway station serves the medium-sized town of Stourbridge, just inside the boundary of the West Midlands county area. As its name implies, it lies on a junction between two lines - actually there are three, but the third (to Dudley) is now […]

Item: Blakedown railway station
Location: Blakedown, Worcestershire, England
by fredhound
Review: Blakedown railway station serves the prosperous commuter village of Blakedown in Worcestershire, which lies between Hagley and Kidderminster. It is served mostly by London Midland trains to Worcester, Kidderminster and Birmingham, although a few Chiltern Railways trains also stop here. Services are not as frequent as […]

Item: Bristol Temple Meads railway station
Location: Bristol, England
by fredhound
Review: Bristol Temple Meads railway station is a major station, serving the large city of Bristol in south-west England. It is a very historic station, having existed since the first half of the nineteenth century and having been designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself, although the […]

Location: Droitwich, Worcestershire, England
by fredhound
Review: Droitwich Spa railway station serves the Worcestershire town of Droitwich, and lies on the junction of two lines: one from Birmingham Moor Street to Worcester via Bromsgrove, and one from Birmingham New Street to Worcester via Kidderminster. As such, it is a common spot for […]

Item: Birmingham Snow Hill railway station
Location: Birmingham, England
by fredhound
Review: Of the three major railway stations in Birmingham, Snow Hill is perhaps the least impressive. Situated as it is under a tower block and with no interesting architecture at all, I try hard to avoid it when I can, as it is often cold, dark […]

Item: Kidderminster railway station
Location: Kidderminster, England
by fredhound
Review: Kidderminster railway station serves the medium-sized town of Kidderminster in northern Worcestershire. Because of its proximity to Birmingham, commuter traffic in particular has been increasing here for several years, and Kidderminster is now a much busier station than it was even five years ago. Unfortunately its infrastructure […]

Item: Hagley railway station
Location: Hagley, Worcestershire, England
by fredhound
Review: Hagley railway station serves the village of Hagley, on the northern edge of Worcestershire, and provides services to Kidderminster and Worcester in one direction, and to Birmingham in the other. It is a popular commuter station, and is also close to the two high schools in […]

One is London Midland Express, which is the brand used for medium and long-distance services between London and cities in central and western England like Birmingham, Liverpool and Stoke-on-Trent. The other is London Midland City, which deals with commuter and […]

Item: Birmingham Moor Street railway station
Location:
by fredhound
Review: Birmingham Moor Street is definitely my favourite of the three major railway stations in Birmingham. It is the only one which has a pleasant atmosphere and a thoughtfully designed building. In fact it is about 100 years old, but has only been restored by Chiltern Railways […]

Item: Foregate Street railway station, Worcester, England
Location: Foregate Street, Worcester, England
by fredhound
Review: Worcester Foregate Street is one of two railway stations in Worcester, the other being Shrub Hill. I would recommend that you go to Shrub Hill only if travelling on long-distance trains, for example to Bristol, and stick to Foregate Street for local […]

Item: Chiltern Railways
Location:
by fredhound
Review: Chiltern Railways runs trains between Birmingham and London, as well as less intensive services to Stourbridge and Kidderminster, and a shuttle service to Aylesbury. However, it is the Birmingham to London service that is the company’s major business, and deservedly so, as I think it is the best way […]
