Sorry my post wasn't clear, I've used mine for a Senior railcard, I posted to let people know codes were still available from the Priority app.

Thanks for posting this, they ran a similar offer in December and the codes were snapped up instantly at 10am. I managed to get one today at 5pm ish so still available if anyone needs one. Thanks again, Rich.

The incoming service was short cancelled at platform 2 Fratton on saturday after the game as it was running 35 mins late from Cardiff. There was some confusion as the onboard PA system wasn't working and the staff were walking through telling passengers of the change. I'm not sure if this change...

I'm sure that for 99% of the time Fratton is perfectly adequate, there are issues after the football but whether that warrants major alterations is debateable. Fratton station is perhaps unusual in that it has 3 major routes out of the City all served from a single platform. Crowd control has to...

We could probably have a whole thread about it. I'm not sure how they could widen the platform, which is only restricted by the new bridge and the lift structure. It's a shame they can't make platform 1 for Havant services and P2 for Cosham for an hour or so after the match but I guess that...

I caught the 11.35 GWR service from Cosham, 4 coaches and fairly busy, they opened the gates for us and as you said in your first post it is most unusual for them to be closed on a match day which begs the question why do they insist on making everyone cross over the bridge, through the open...

Just a quick update, the young lady decided 5hrs 50mins, including 2 bus journeys was too long, so opted for Havant-Brighton-St Pancras-Canterbury W, using Southern, FCC and SE was a better option. She had no hassle, whether that was down to luck or an accepted route is anyones guess. Thank...

Thanks Yorkie, just rechecked on the BR Fares site and indeed as you say prices set by different tocs, I suppose there has to be a boundary somewhere, just lucky it's there for us. Soil, thanks again, I have experienced some of the anomalies in the first part of your reply. The "via...

Wow, thank you everyone for your replies and/or suggestions. Think I have finally got it now, well maybe. If I search the return from Havant, about a 10 min drive from here, the NRE shows the "normal" Sunday routing, Hav-Brighton-Ashford-Cant.W. although there is a bus from Lewes to Hastings...

Thanks Soil, appreciate the reply. Thought i knew a bit about train travel, purely as a passenger with more than a few years experience but there are so many anomallies. Can I just ask one more possibly stupid question relating to the journey in question? What exactly does via Barnham mean...

Ok thanks, was hoping to buy the ticket from RSH as we have some vouchers. This is what has raised the apparant lack of tickets for the return leg and caused the concern.

Not sure as the link you posted has timed out, looking for Cant to CSA out 22Nov back 24th Nov 1 pax 16-25 rc, cheapest I get for those dates is £39.60, use out 22nd back 23rd-25th or whatever and it shows as £17.80, yet the return is valid for any day within 1 month. So should we put the...

Hello all, long time lurker, now confused enough to seek help. My son's g/f wants to visit him in Cosham, from Canterbury. There is a very good off peak return, 16-25 RC, via Barnham for £17.80. She plans to travel to Cosham on the 22nd Nov and return on the 24th nov, a Sunday. However...
