    Off Peak Day Returns on Snow Hill Lines

    Whilst obtaining a 'Great Escape' ticket last Friday at Shirley I saw a sign in the booking office window advising restrictions on the use of off peak returns through Snow Hill and Moor St (perhaps others) during peak evening hours.(It did give times but am unsure of exactly what they where. Now...

    London to Cambridge

    A hypothetical one. If I have a season ticket from London to Stevenage and I buy a return from Stevenage to Cambridge beforehand, would this allow me to travel from Liverpool Street to Cambridge? Intuition and common sense would be 'no way jose' but...

    Shirley to Crewe

    Thanks. One final question. Would Shirley to Chester via Crewe be valid via Rugely TV rather than via Wolverhampton?

    Shirley to Crewe

    Taking advantage of the London Midland 50% off peak discount this Saturday, Shirley to Crewe, gives me a price of £11-05. Yet, Shirley to Chester, via Crewe is £8-55... further but cheaper. I'm not complaining but would love to know the reasons why. Any thoughts ?

    Birmingham New Street to Birmingham Snow Hill.Without reversing.

    A poster at Moor St. says they are installing a 'new' junction at Bearley. I assumed this was 'new' as in 'brand new' rather than 'new' as replacing something existing

    Are Merseyrail stations exempt from smoking ban?.

    Quite. Whatever a magistrate deems 'near' to mean perhaps?
