Hi All, I need to travel from Belfast Port to London Euston on Saturday 18th August at 11.00AM, I have heard mentioned that you can buy tickets on the day, but don't want to risk getting stranded in Belfast. I have a Disabled Adult Railcard which makes it a very effective way of travelling. I...

Evening all, I had an advanced e-ticket for the 14:15 from Penzance to Paddington on 21st November (booked months ago) When I realised that it was a strike day I made a point of checking the running of the trains throughout the day and everything seemed OK. When I got to Penzance station at...

Morning all, I have had a claim for delay repay declined by GWR saying that information was missing. I submitted the claim via the paper form enclosing tickets and a covering letter so do not understand what information was missing. They have turned this into an online claim with an option to...

I don't normally travel 1st class, but have Devon & Cornwall Railcard for anything beyond Tiverton, but sometimes advances even beat splitting and using the Railcard.

Hi, On replacement bus at the moment: Itinerary presented to me by the booking in my GWR account was: 09:04 Paddington to Plymouth (1st class available) 12:19 Plymouth to Truro (4 coach train no 1st class) 13:44 Truro to Penzance RRB I genuinely can't rember if it was the same when booked early...

Hi all, As above, I have a First class summer sale ticket for Paddington to Penzance tomorrow, but the Truro to Penzance is bus replacement due to planned engineering. Would I be likely to get the difference between first class and standard ticket refunded on this basis, or does it all hinge on...

Morning all, I was due to go back to Cornwall this morning. Travelling on an advance South Western Railway ticket 08:20 Waterloo to Exeter St. David's then GWR to Penzance. However due to the lightning strike, trains from Plymouth to Truro are subject to delay and cancellation. At the moment no...

Hi, 04th March, 18th March, 01st April,15th April, 29th April to name a few....

Evening all. Up until recently it had been possible to book a solo berth from Paddington to Penzance on a Wednesday evening for little more than the price of a super Off-Peak ticket for a seat. To my disappointment the cheapest fare I now seem to be able to find for a Wednesday evening is £130...

Thanks for that suggestion, but I was trying to avoid having to pay for a 2nd nights accommodation in Belfast.

Thanks for all of the detailed replies, I had looked at the overnight Birkenhead ferry, but had discounted it as no berths were available for my date. I note that it is bookable without though. Based on cost, can't really do much better than the anytime Sailrail fare of £56 via Carlisle and...

Hi, firstly apologies as I know this subject has been covered before! I have read through previous threads, but would still like some clarification. I was due to fly Heathrow to Belfast City on 24th August for a gig that night, however this has now been announced as one of the BA Strike days...

Yesterday, I wanted to book Birmingham New Street to London Euston using a West Midlands Railway service. Using Loco2, it offered me an Annual Gold Card discount on an Advance ticket, which I don't think is correct? I was using Loco2 purely for convenience as I find the app very easy when on my...

The Dorking service comes through pretty fast as Motspur Park is not a scheduled stop

It was Motspur Park, despite my insistence she is refusing to report it. Appreciate the advice to not try and race the barrier, but I don't think many people would feel comfortable waiting track side against the barrier, natural instinct is surely to clear the crossing?
