Contacted Northern Customer Services, they confirmed ticket would be valid to depart Penistone at 09:43.

My friend has an off peak return ticket from Derby to Brockholes, (Penistone Line), she is returning tomorrow morning, normally she would catch the 10:23 from Brockholes, tomorrow though she really needs to go an hour earlier which brings her into the peak period if she travels from Brockholes...

Came back yesterday morning on the 09:03 XC Edinburgh service from New Street, I thought going early it would be fairly quiet, big mistake, I hadn't realised there would be Aston Villa supporters travelling to Nottingham on that service, as there is usually a direct service to Nottingham, not on...

Thanks for the reply. I would have been travelling with XC tbh, but due to all the earlier cancellations and delays I abandoned plans for this evening and will travel back tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the reply, I've already got my ticket, the return portion, having travelled down last Saturday on an 8 carriage service. The 13:28 looks like my best bet so will try for that one. Would normally have travelled back tomorrow morning but unfortunately I've got to get back today.

Travelling from New Street to Sheffield today, is there any way of checking how busy the service will be before leaving for the station, I'm flexible with my departure time as long as I get to Sheffield no later than 16:30.

On my way home this morning, got an email from, allegedly BT, stating my details required immediate updating or I would lose access to my emails permanently, I was 99.9% certain it was a scam so I planned on forwarding it to BT's phishing dept when I got home, mysteriously it has now...

Thanks, fingers crossed it stays that way.

I am travelling back to West Yorkshire from Birmingham tomorrow, the line from Sheffield to Meadowhall has been closed all week due to engineering works, it is due to open tomorrow morning, is there any way of getting an update on whether or not the works will be completed on time. If the works...

Thanks for the reply, I'll be using the return half of an already purchased ticket. I do use the Derby split. Was just curious as I've never seen that message before, I wondered if it was because the train was "fully booked" apart from the unreserved carriage, last thing I want at 73 years old...

Just been checking my journey home tomorrow specifically on the 11:03 XC service from New Street to Sheffield and then on to West Yorkshire, it's a journey I've made many times. It's stating "no valid fares for this journey", and also on some of the services later in the day, yet if I put...

OK thanks for clearing up the confusion. Probably delay my journey now until Monday morning now the Off Peak Restrictions are lifted.

I'm hoping to travel from Sheffield to New Street tomorrow, was hoping to catch the 11:56 service. Both National Rail and Cross Country are showing this service as cancelled but Realtime Trains are showing it as on time with10 car formation. Which one is correct? Any help would be appreciated.

When using split tickets, are the tickets still valid during disruptions if the train is diverted and doesn't call at the "split" station.

Evri is belive or not one of the better couriers round here, as stated previously I had a word with him and he confirmed he had made no deliveries to my address for a while, however it transpired he'd had a coupe of days off around the time of the non delivery, so who knows what happened to it...
