https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U79265/2026-03-22/detailed Just saw this . top and tailed by two 66s. I couldnt find any information on the railtour websites.

what dates ? I can't seem tto find any cheap tickets from london to edinburgh ?

The single paper ticket on sale or one bought online is the Anytime Day Single £10.30 to Marylebone National Rail and valid for travel on Chiltern trains , hence, PAYG Oyster is the best option at half the price.. I will be using a Euston to Manchester advance. I've allowed 1hr45 from...

I'm travelling from Amersham to Manchester on Monday. The itinerary is Amersham - Marylebone on Chiltern, LU from Marylebone to Euston and then EUS to MAN using Avanti. Now I will be using Oyster to travel from Amersham to EUS, so will I be able to catch a later train if the Chiltern...

Thanks, very wise advice which echoes my trouble free plan of action. XC are usually good at reseving seats if you DM them on X so I may do that. It's usually a 4 carriage train and very full so free and available seats all the way to the NE are like gold dust.

Ticket is the outward portion of an 0ff-Peak return and the reservation is for a seat in Coach A which I gather is the First Class coach. Edit: The ticket was bought at a ticket office and they stated that the system couldn't distinguish between classes when reserving seats. They just get...

Conundrum is where do I sit ? I don't think sitting in my reserved seat will be wise as I only have a standard class ticket ! XC train between Reading and Newcastle .

It's the barrier issue that I was worried about and the gateline staff not knowing that I could start short at Hastings and use the Southern + HS1 route. The less knowledgeable may say that I need to buy a Hastings - Cooden Beach single and travel the route into Voctoria.

There only seems to be one CDR fare listed for this route so am I correct in assuming that the ticket can be used on HS1 from St Pancras ( changing at Ashford International) in addition to Southern services out of London Victoria ? I intend to start the return leg short at Hastings and...

I've been lookiing for tickets throughout July and August , admitedly it will be during the Scottish school holidays, but there seem to be a complete lack of Advance tickets out of Glasgow heading up towards Oban /Fort William. I've travelled this route often and have never experienced such...

Proposed route : Wembley Pk (Met line) - Finchley Road (walk) - Finchley Road and Frognal (Overground) - Strattfiord (Central Line) - Leyton. Just some confusion on the tapping sequence here. Will I need to tap in at Finchley Road and Frognal as well as tapping on the Pink validator at...
