Thanks so much for taking the time to post that extensive reply, I really appreciate that! Good to know that trains do only need to pass through, despite how adamant the advisor I spoke to was that the ticket wasn't valid. Good to know too about the more inclusive Travelcard option. Do you...

So I'm trying to buy a ticket from Dorridge to London tomorrow (with a travelcard added on at the end). The specific 09:29 train that I'd like to get doesn't stop at High Wycombe, however for some reason no matter what ticket option I choose, the 'Valid only for travel via High Wycombe' option...

I imagine this may have been a question that's been asked multiple times before, so if so I apologise, but it's not abundantly clear when purchasing tickets so I thought I'd better double-check to be safe. Essentially, I want to travel from Birmingham New Street to London one day, then...

As Yew mentioned, we simply assumed this was just due to a different schedule on weekends as there's always engineering work (bear in mind I also get the 06:47 train on a weekday, and this was at 14:56) and didn't give it another thought.

It was all a bit of a blur, but the two of them were stood outside the doors and basically blocked the three of us as we tried to exit and just said 'Can I see your tickets please?' to which we replied 'We've just used our Oyster cards'. They then said 'Could I see these please?', when we got...

Many thanks for all the helpful responses guys! I really appreciate it. I'm relatively sure me and my partner (and the third gentleman if I'm perfectly honest) must've been misidentified somehow if the usual standing section by the main carriage doors is not First Class. I'll follow the...

We were stood just by the doors where most people stand - I'm not sure of the appropriate name for it - but just right immediately in front of the sliding doors on opposite sides of the trains. Come to think of it, are a lot of First Class sections not just only part of a carriage and not the...

Someone with sense, thank you! This my thought process entirely. To people that are still confused, think about your daily commute to and from work, or whichever you make on a regular basis (specifically Oyster journeys in my case) - do you stop and make note of any potential changes to your...

My point was that as it's a service that is usually TFL Rail and one that I regularly get, I didn't think to look out for such announcements/notices as TFL Rail is the same set-up as standard class - basically the same as the London Underground.

The post below yours pretty much sums it up, but yeah we boarded at Brentwood and got off at Liverpool Street. In hindsight we discovered it was an Abellio Greater Anglia service, but it's usually just TFL Rail, which is all Standard Class. I certainly didn't think it was pretty clear - what...

Hi all, Yesterday afternoon me and my girlfriend took what is a fairly regular trip for us from Brentwood to Liverpool Street. For those unsure, this has recently been changed to part of the 'TFL rail' route and as such travel is permitted using an oyster card. Many of the trains that take...
