    Trivia - Do any operators serve places with the same or similar names?

    West Coast Motors 478 runs from Ferry Terminal to Ferry Terminal via Ferry Terminal. Ferry Terminal is listed no less than 9 times in each direction on the timetable and no attempt is made to explain which Ferry Terminal is which. Does that count?

    GWR: no longer possible to book (online) seat or bike reservation except when buying a ticket

    It looks like GWR have removed this facility again. Anyone know what is going on this time? The website directs you to a staffed station or tells you to phone them...

    GWR: no longer possible to book (online) seat or bike reservation except when buying a ticket

    Has anyone successfully booked a standalone bike reservation for an operator other than TPE using the TPE website? I tried using it when the GWR system first went down for an Avanti journey and couldn't get it to work?

    Buying a rover ticket to start at an unstaffed station

    Thanks, I'll be boarding at Cam & Dursley so that's in the penalty fare zone. The GWR link to buy online just takes me to a dead screen which says "available rovers and rangers" and nothing else, but I'm too late if it has to be posted anyway. Sounds like my best bet is to buy it tomorrow when...

    Buying a rover ticket to start at an unstaffed station

    Buying an advance ticket for a connection that doesn't automatically show in journey planner

    Ah brilliant thank you, I didn't realise you could specify a long change time like that on the booking engine. Another question though - I also need a bike reservation, and I can't see that option booking here. Have I not find it, or do I need to book the bike on elsewhere? 1691350027 I've...

    Buying an advance ticket for a connection that doesn't automatically show in journey planner

    I used to travel regularly from Lancaster to Wemyss Bay on the 0830 from Lancaster changing at Glasgow Central. It's at a time that suits me and the Avanti service is invariably quiet with good availability of the lowest fares. The Scotrail service has recently been retimed to give an...

    Atos WebTIS bug (cycle reservations)

    Came across this whilst trying to work out why I couldn't get a bike reservation online. It's a bit frustrating it's not been fixed after 18 months, but has anyone found away around it, other than buying two separate tickets which costs significantly more and leads to uncertainty with missed...
