Thanks really helpful thank you!

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/brighton-to-london-bridge-vs-victoria.238054/ Do you have any advice of best way to buy tickets from Preston to London?

I did see the option to buy a travel card but wasn’t sure if it would be cheaper to just use my bank card to tap so did that as only going a few stops. Trains to St Pancras were not available yesterday due to strikes I guess. I just bought a ticket from St Pancras to Market Harborough advance...

Yes onwards from St Pancras. I’m on the Victoria train now having changed at Gatwick.

OK I was going to go to St Pancras from Victoria so don’t need to go there, could I just get off at London Bridge and discard my ticket then get the underground? 1665214810 I panicked and got off at Gatwick as a train to Victoria was arriving from the same platform 5 minutes later

Hi I’m on a train going from Brighton to London Bridge but my ticket is to London Victoria. Can I get off at London Bridge and come down to Victoria from there according to regulations or do I have to change at East Croydon? My ticket is valid via any permitted route. Can’t find a train...

So is my only option to just turn up at the train station on the day and request a ticket? What if they say it's sold out as per the website?

I would want a same day return with my husband using two together railcard. 1664998317 So might they release some tickets once the strike timetable is confirmed?

Hello, I need to get to Market Harborough from London on Saturday 8th October, arriving by ~11am. All the trains are sold out. I unfortunately didn't know I was going to have to go to Market Harborough before now. Is there any way of me getting there (i.e., via other routes and changing? Or...

Hello, On Saturday 5th March I tapped in at Brixton tube station with my bank card, however when I came to tap out it wouldn't let me through and said to seek assistance. I sought assistance and the lady attempted to tap me out with my card but couldn't do it and so she let me out with her...

I could potentially have up to 15 people travelling from Nottingham (depending on whether some people choose to travel form London or whether they come back to Nottingham the night before and then travel with the group from Nottingham). Does this make a difference?

Bummer I was wondering why that wasn't appearing for me :(

Ooh that's good ideally would be happy with anything less than or around £40 with £20 seeming now like an unrealistic dream haha

OK, I was just concerned because I can't see any cheap advance fares for any weekend in April or May either. So I didn't know if they no longer exist and it's just these fixed £64 return fares that are the only possible option no matter when you travel.

I'm travelling Saturday and returning Sunday without fixed times, would like to arrive in Liverpool by around 2:30pm and leave Sunday after around 10am but flexible depending on costs. I also don't know if it's possible to get a group save. There will be 9 of us.
