The Super Duper UK Public Transport Question Thread

Is it possible to find out which "class" of train if I book the tickets? Chiltern Railways has many different classes of train. I don't want to be in old one, and I'd like to be in new train, and one that has business class + wifi.

what route are you doing?

Wikipedia tells you what trains they run on their routes. Their timetable probably does also.

Which service are you booked on? Where are you travelling from/to?

You may be pleasantly surprised

Birmingham to London. I know what type of trains they use because I regularly commute part of this route and I've seen all kinds of trains from new class to old class.

But, as for full route, I want to be on newer type of train.

I haven't booked anything but I want to make sure I book train that's new.

By the way, why would I be surprised? :O

No MS on weekend?

Also, :O I never knew MS was that old. But, meh I wanted something new, like class 172/1, according to wikipedia, is newest. I might want to be on that train but it seems like I can't see any difference on any train classes except class 165 which has HORRIBLE interior, seriously, it looks like London Midland train (Correct me if I'm wrong). Class 165 doesn't even have table (Again, correct me if I'm wrong).

Can someone tell me the main differences between buying online and at the station, in terms of pricing? Some things online seem to be more expensive, and others are cheaper, is that just the way it is buying online?

Well, on friday i need to go to waterloo from St Pancras Intl, it's easy ?

I need to the take the northern line. I go in direction to High Barnet/Edgware then I come down from the tube (what is the right sentence to say what I mean ? :s) and I take the same line but in direction to Morden then I stop at Waterloo. Right ?

I'll take silver mainline train. Weirdly enough, I totally forgot what silver train looks like inside. I hope it has table with AC sockets on it like class 165's.
