I'm also looking for Advances but from Glasgow to Aberdeen. The NR engineering works page seems to think it's only Perth to Inverness that's affected, so I'm not sure why Aberdeen tickets aren't released...

Looking for some ticketing help. 4 adults for a single from Motherwell to Manchester (any) travelling on Sat 28th Jul, ideally on the 0925. We have one Disabled Persons and 2 16-25 Railcards I can see and buy a £112 set of Advances on TPE but I can see but can't buy a £97.40 set offered in a...

That's a really good spot. I've been in coach M trying to run down the train to find a door on the platform before! Had forgotten all about that... I will try the reservation without a ticket route closer to the time. Thanks to all

It was worth a try but sadly they weren't able to help. Apparently when you buy the last tickets at a particular Advance fare level then the system won't let you change reservations

I have a split ticket from Falkirk Grahamston to Inverness on the direct 1707 LNER train with my split being at Stirling. Train departs on 23rd June My seat reservations are for different seats for the two legs. When I try to change the reservations using the LNER website or app, I get an...

Thanks to all. I'm still not sure what Scotrail are playing at. They are both telling me trains are scheduled and also that they are not.

Apologies if this is obvious or been discussed before. I want to travel from Falkirk to Aberdeen - North on a Saturday and back on a Sunday. Because my dates are far enough away, Scotrail will sell me a £59 Off Peak return. However it's likely that there will be no sensible route back if the...

Thanks to all for assistance. Date travelled was yesterday Saturday 11th January. I will write to XC and see what they choose. I'm in no rush for a refund so hopefully it will just be a case of a couple of emails swopped.

Itinerary was Falkirk to Edinburgh 1225 Edinburgh to Chesterfield 1309 Chesterfield to Nottingham 1722 The Edinburgh train arrives at around 1725 so after the connection. The subsequent Northern train was 1822 and was itself late. Had I waited for it, I would have arrived about 65 mins...

Apologies for a very specific question. I have a set of split Advance singles from Falkirk to Nottingham and have been sufficiently delayed to claim for Delay Repay. My tickets are Falkirk to Dunbar (on a timed XC train from Edinburgh but a first connwction train on ScotRail) Dunbar to...

Thanks to all who've replied. Really helpful advice on the journeys to and from airports. As for train v plane, family preference is flying over train. Me, not so much. But for timeliness, sorry but flying to timetable is much quicker, more flexible and cheaper when not picking up the cheapest...

I have a trip coming up from Edinburgh to London and am looking for the best options in from Gatwick and out to Stansted. Normally we travel down to London City as it#s a simple DLR journey into Tower Gateway or out to Stratford for the Premier Inn. This time though, we're staying out at...
