Cambridge University Railway Club

UK modern

• UK Railways on the Net-links to official websites of all UK Train Operating Companies and many other rail businesses.
• National Rail-real-time departures and other travel information, and the official guidelines for enthusiasts.
• Network Rail, previously known as Railtrack.
• Transport for London-Underground, DLR & Tramlink
• Manx Electric Railway Society
• CAST.IRON-the campaign to reopen the St Ives line as a railway (rather than the 'guided bus' officially planned).

UK steam

• UK Heritage Railways-links to most UK preserved lines, database of preserved locomotives (steam and diesel), and general information.
• March Web-mainline steam information.
• Settle & Carlisle Railway
• National Railway Museum
• Cambridge Railway Circle-Cambridge's other railway club, with similar activities to us but rather more steam-oriented. You can of course join both, and we try to avoid clashing with each other.

Foreign

• Deutsche Bahn-includes online timetable covering all of Europe and available in English.
• Mercurio-includes links to national operators and 'recommended' enthusiast sites for most countries in Europe.
• Swiss Federal Railways
• SNCF
• Seat61-worldwide rail travel information.

Simulation

• There are several train driving simulators available, of which Microsoft Trainsim is probably the best known. Free options include BVE (wide range of routes and stock, but fixed formations only (no shunting) and no steam), Maszyna (3D cabs, allows shunting, no steam), and Spoorsim 1 (includes a steam train, but no signals and not much other scenery).
• UKTrainSim-news, help and discussion.
• If you'd rather be the signaller, try SimSig.
