Thank you - useful to have my misapprehension corrected. So I guess my remedy for the breach of contract is solely that I could have obtained a full refund from the retailer instead? (Not that it would have helped me here - I still needed to be in London despite the complexity of the journey).

During the week after the Bedford crash (when the line was shut) I had plans to travel from Bedford to London three times, using tickets purchased before amended timetables were published or cancellations were made as a result of the crash. My journeys were obviously significantly delayted -...

I'm considering a day out in Scarborough and want to decide if it's worth adding a plus bus. The website doesn't list any participating operators - is there another way to establish which buses I can use? I assume it doesn't mean there are no participating buses and the add-on is therefore...

I'm due to be catching a Eurostar this Saturday morning, and need to get to St Pancras from Bedford. When the strike was announced, I made slightly complicated alternative plans involving friends and cars, but I can now see that Thameslink are planning to run some trains leaving Bedford between...

Brilliant, thanks both.

My wife and I need to travel from Bedford to St Pancras late Thursday morning, returning in the afternoon. There are cheap advances still available in the morning, but we need flexibility later so I don't think that helps us - it will be cheaper to buy a day return. There's a good chance we'll...

I currently hold a weekly season ticket expiring tomorrow. I had planned to use it today and tomorrow but am following the sensible advice to not travel rather than risk the almost inevitable significant disruption and delay. My understanding is that I cannot claim delay repay or any form of...

Have you given any thought to doing a virtual workshop - eg via zoom? Completely understand if the content means that doesn't work, but it would be a less significant time commitment than travelling for those of us with limited spare capacity! Thanks!

Thanks - that’s the answer for me. For some reason I didn’t think about checking stations along the Marston Vale line as an origin. Much appreciated!

I'm travelling from Bedford to Manchester on Saturday, returning on Sunday. I can't fix journey times this stage, but I do have a season ticket from Bedford to London Thameslink. I had assumed I would travel via Sheffield (using a £68.80 off-peak return), but it looks like it might be useful...

Thank you.

Another adult and I are travelling from Cambridge to London later today. I have a (monthly) season ticket, but my companion will need to buy a ticket. We have a two together railcard (which I assume we can't use, as I don't need a ticket) and I have a valid network railcard. Can my...

My girlfriend and I are travelling from Basingstoke to Attleborough, on Tuesday 30th. We'll later travel from Attleborough to Cambridge (probably on 3rd January). I have a return half of a ticket from Basingstoke to Cambridge and had been intending to buy a return from Cambridge to...

Thanks for all the help. Taxi firms in Cambridge seem to be quoting over a hundred pounds for the transfer, so even with four people, the train might be slightly cheaper (although perhaps less convenient). Some of the others travelling have access to a car, so we may well go down that route...

I'm part of a group of four who will be travelling from Cambridge to Gatwick in February and I'm struggling a little to establish the cheapest way of doing so. We need to be at Gatwick by 7.30am on the 16th February and travelling in the peak means prices are higher than I'd hoped - it might...
