    CIV protection with a Euro High Saver Return

    I've got a related question - can you buy these tickets to travel the day before the Eurostar departure from London? I'm planning to stay in London the night before but still want to get this ticket as it allows me to travel at peak time on the way back. BRFARES says Outward Validity: ONE DAY...

    Routeing query - Birmingham to Southampton

    Does an off peak return from Southampton to Birmingham allow me to stopover in Stratford on Avon on the way back without buying a separate ticket? Have tried to navigate the Routeing Guide and code RB is listed which suggests yes - is that correct?

    Multiple breaks of journey

    Thanks all - there are two different answers re the break of journey - one that I can split it as many times as like and one that it has to be completed on the second day - any views on which is correct as I was planning to have two overnight stops? --- old post above --- --- new post below ---...

    Multiple breaks of journey

    Does the same apply to an Off Peak Return? Website (see below) says break of journey is allowed but no time restriction given - and does it literally mean one break of journey? And second question - is the bus from Bodmin Parkway to Padstow the standard bus or is there a special rail one? Was...

    Different route to avoid bus replacement

    I bought an off peak return and anytime single from Portsmouth to Fratton back in February before engineering works were announced on the Portsmouth - Newport route. I was going to go via Reading instead but have just picked up my tickets and seen that they say via Salisbury only. Am I allowed...

    Multiple breaks of journey

    Are multiple breaks of journey on an Anytime Return? Can I use my ticket to Padstow to do this? Day 1 Portsmouth to Exeter Day 2 Exeter to Liskeard Day 3 Liskeard to Padstow And can I do multiple stops on way back with longer gaps in between?

    Southampton Airport Parkway>Waterloo>Fratton

    I've just searched for Southampton Airport Parkway to London Waterloo via Fratton and it is coming up with the same ticket price so am I right in thinking this is a permitted route and no additional ticket is needed at all?

    Southampton Airport Parkway>Waterloo>Fratton

    Hello, I bought an off peak return from Southampton Airport to London Waterloo but change of plans mean that I now need to get from London to Fratton. The person on the SWT helpline said I had to buy a single from Waterloo to Fratton but can that be right? Can't I travel at least some of...

    Anytime tickets on Portsmouth-Exeter route

    I need to be in Exeter by 9.30 so will be changing at Westbury. If I buy a Route Westbury Salisbury ticket does this mean I can't use it on the 12.26 which goes via Salisbury but not via Westbury? All trains back from Exeter seem to go back via this route.

    Anytime tickets on Portsmouth-Exeter route

    I want to get the 6.00 train from Portsmouth Harbour to Exeter returning at 12.26 the same day. Both Eastcoast and First Great Western websites are showing that neither an Anytime Day Return or an Anytime Return is available for this journey and that I have to buy two singles. I don't...

    Portsmouth to Bedford

    I meant crossing London by tube from St Pancras to Waterloo - wasn't sure if the Three Bridges route was a different ticket which wouldn't include it.

    Portsmouth to Bedford

    If I buy a return ticket going via Three Bridges can I still come back via London? Bus replacement services on Three Bridges route on Sunday!
