    What happens if you have an advance single on the XC to Aberdeen and the train is cancelled?

    So presumably, if XC did refuse to honour this obligation, I would have to stick with travelling with XC as far as Edinburgh, and then hope that I arrived at Edinburgh in time to allow me to use NRCoT 28.2 for a ScotRail or LNER service between Edinburgh and Aberdeen?

    What happens if you have an advance single on the XC to Aberdeen and the train is cancelled?

    So, by the sounds of it, the best way to get XC to honour the Article 16 obligation if I want to switch TOC before Edinburgh would be to try contacting them on social media? I did experience such a cancellation when travelling recently, and XC didn't automatically arrange ticket acceptance with...

    What happens if you have an advance single on the XC to Aberdeen and the train is cancelled?

    CrossCountry only run 1 train per day between England and Aberdeen (the 09:27 starting from Plymouth). So, if you are booked on this train with an advance single to Aberdeen, and the train is wholely or partly cancelled, what do you do? My understanding is that normally if your booked train is...

    No direct trains from Plymouth to Edinburgh

    I notice that Crosscountry appear to be running no direct trains between Plymouth and Edinburgh today, tomorrow or Monday. Have these been removed from the timetable at the last minute, as I thought previously there were some on the schedule for these days? Certainly there usually are.

    How much time to leave for Eurostar

    Where would be the best place to purchase one from? Does this forum's site sell them, or would it be the Eurostar website?

    How much time to leave for Eurostar

    I'm using separate tickets for the Exeter to Waterloo leg and the St Pancras to Brussels leg, and I was planning on using contactless for the tube part in the middle. Does that make a difference?

    How much time to leave for Eurostar

    On Wednesday 4th September, I am travelling to Brussels. The plan is to travel from Exeter to London Waterloo, then catch a tube service to St Pancras International for the Eurostar. How much time do I need to allow between arriving in Waterloo and catching my Eurostar? I know if I was changing...

    GWR rejected my delay repay claim

    On the 18th of February I travelled from Exeter to Heathrow. Later in the day I travelled back again. Both journeys I made using advance singles with the same booking reference. I used paper tickets for the journey. The outward journey was delayed by half an hour and the return part was...

    ORR Origin-Destination Matrix 2021-22

    Another thing notable about this data is that it includes journeys where the origin and destination are the same. I am not sure how this is possible. For example, there are 35,109 recorded journeys from Reading to Reading, despite there being no fare for this on brfares.
