Another 'pain in the arse' journey on XC today, when YET AGAIN the second set of the Edinburgh-bound double voyager sent from New Street was locked out of use. It's getting a regular occurrence and means everyone crammed onto 4 cars, not helped by the earlier 170 to Notts being cancelled...

Brilliant thanks for your help

This sounds great - they'd be leaving reading about lunchtime on a sunday and leaving back from Pad on the Monday lunchtime. I just don't want them to be tied to a specific train if they dont need to be, at least they have some flexibility. So when I book this online for them, any time at about...

Hello thanks for this - I think it looked like £14 each way pp on the Eliz and with the group save (which I didn't know about so thanks!) it's £98.40 for 4 people - so £24.60ea. I was just thniking of flexibility on timings for them. I've potentially picked a return train but does the return...

Hello Just investigating ticket prices from Reading to Paddington for a journey in spring. Am I right in thinking that GWR et al don't show the Elizabeth Line for ticketing sales? I'm wondering if Eliz line is the cheapest return option for my group, no need to pre-book tickets either if the...

Thought it might be a long shot - i'd be happy with a date change as i'm there again in January!

Anyone got any experience in refunding because they'd booked 'back to front'?! I booked 2 advance tickets, but the date on the outbound PAD-LHR ticket was for the inbound LHR-PAD ticket and vice versa. I didn't even notice until I tried scanning the Aztec code and realised what had happened...

Will take a look thanks

Hi all, I'm travelling to Gatwick at the end of September from Burton (BUT), any suggestions for the cheapest way please? I've thought about buying one ticket through or splitting - I could do with it being flexible on the return just in case I decide to stop over on London on the way back - my...

Thanks for confirming the details everyone!

Yes its usually marked as WMR&LNR only - so I was hoping as the Cross City Line is WMR run, I could use this to get back to LTV, I know I can't use Avanti on this option

Hi all, I occasionally (every few months) head down to London from Lichfield Trent Valley on the Super Off Peak Return ticket type. Is this ticket valid on a routing via New Street on the Cross City Line and vice versa which would allow a BOJ in Birmingham for a few hours? Just as an...

Thanks all for the reply - satisfies a curious mind!

Hi all, What is or was in the building on the station approach to Lichfield Trent Valley? It looks to be disused now - signals? comms?? Also at Shenstone, what is or was upstairs in the lovely station building? staff accomodation? Cheers

Well that was a waste of my time! Tried completing the page where you can make a comment re compensation, wrote exactly what happened, pressed submit and then the page promptly crashed and now will not reload. So then tried the 'delay repay' page - I don't have the booking number as we used a...
