Thanks all The replies actually confirm what seemed to me to be the logical solution. We had considered the walk to St Pancras/KingsCross as we have done that a few times. It is not completely ruled out so thanks for mentioning that and the bus if weather is bad. We will have luggage and...

Good Afternoon Following a recent post on renewing our senior railcards on which I received spot on advice I have another query. Our journey is to be from London Euston to Gatwick Airport and I have read several opinions on the use of an Oyster card ( with senior railcards added) for this...

Thanks to all -I have ordered our cards. Update 10/12/25 Cards received expires 9/12/28

Good Morning, Hope I am in the right section, Simple question? if you know the answer. We have/had Senior Railcards ( Plastic) and have had a railcards for many years renewed online without a gap. Our 3 year cards expired 2 months ago and as we knew we would not need to travel by train...

I am not on here often and have just spotted elsewhere that Avanti are to run Evero trains on the West Coast Line. As I live in Preston I am astonished that the station is not included in the list of stopping places. Can someone confirm this to be the case. I have emailed Avanti but they are...

Great :) - incentive to give up smoking?

Yes one can apply within 30 days of expiry (3 yr senior) and we were 15 days before. On the upside didnt apply 30 days before. I have sent again asking why and reminding them I have not had a reply from when I first reported it.

So are the people who issue the cards. We renewed our senior card renewal early as it was around of the postal strikes/chaos and we needed the cards. Application went of fine but the cards were renewed as at the date received not the expiry date of the old cards. I did send off a...

Miles off topic but I have lived in this country for over 70 years and wonder what the sign is in the second picture just to the right of the man in the brown jacket. Silhouette of a man in a red circle with a line through. On its own with no indication, does it just mean NO people allowed...

It is the Darvaza crater we had an overnight stop there on a tour of turkemenistan https://www.fleewinter.com/turkmenistan/accommodation/Darvaza_Wild_Camping. Fortunately no sarlaccs about think they had gone to Blackpool for the week. There were scorpions though so careful if squatting...
