Hi All So I recall hearing that one can double back on certain routes a long time ago, and wondered if the route mentioned (Birmingham New St - Banbury - Heyford) is valid if we went and did a Break of Journey at OXF (where we actually want to go), or have those loop-holes been closed now...

Well done to Swindon Panel As an aside: for those of you who feel so negatively: why not go and volunteer for the project/projects you wanted to win, or alternatively offer to set up a standing order/direct debit donation? Thought so, there's always next year where your cause can win funds...

Thanks all

My wife and I are going to Harrogate in a few weeks, and are planning a Day trip to York, and possibly an evening trip to Leeds. BrFares.com suggests the Harrogate - York Duo ticket is ANY PERMITTED, but it's cheaper than the Leeds - York fare, I'm guessing the guard/barrier staff at Leeds may...

So I want to travel on a DIDCOT - HENLEY ON THAMES ticket but returning to Oxford, I trust this is not allowed?

I'd suggest you buy the All zones North Wales Rover, as it is valid from Shrewsbury/Chester westwards, and offers a 50% reduction on fares on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland. I'd also suggest looking at Dave Sallery's excellent site which gives itineraries that can be used.

Catch a bus to Luton Airport Parkway, then get the 19:51 East Midlands Trains service to Leeds (arr 23:05), Costs £50.50 for a Super Off Peak Return and is a direct train (woo!)

Yes, both of them get 1/3rd off the fare. My wife has one so I travel on hers.

The Tourist Information Centre in the City Centre (by St David's Shopping Centre) has lockers that you can use, I think it's £3 for them.

(woo! first post!) None of the stations operated by Arriva in the North and Mid Wales regions have bilingual announcements. I wish they did, as there are plenty of Welsh speakers in that area, I'm quite surprised Cymdeithas Yr Iaith hasn't protested about the lack of Welsh Language...
