Communication at smaller stations was pretty bad, clueless

It's been reported that the Blockade at Watford has been scrapped and trains will run, Euston to new street any idea when these will be entered into the system Chiltern also states advanced fares for their route will be available is there any light on this?

Answer to this, no you have to buy club tickets separate, some clubs are charging normal rates for entry some have inflated their prices for entry, best to check on the pride site

Thanks and how much is the west Midlands day ranger? And where can I go/purchase it from?

Hi all, I am in Birmingham this weekend and was thinking about getting one of the network west midlands day tickets on Saturday. I had a look at the map, which is a little confusing, am I right in thinking i can use the all day ticket in zones 1-5 in the coloured areas on the map shown on the...

Hi all I am planning a trip to Germany, what would be the best option via train from London to Dusseldorf/Cologne, and what would be the best site to book from? i am going around the 12th/13th for 3-4 days. Please move if relevant in the fares section!! thanks

Hi all i need some fares advice for a friend. She will be visiting from Woking and will be departing Saturday to return Sunday. What will be the best ticket options? She hasn't got an oyster but she can buy one as we will be going Camden, then Walthamstow then Stratford and back to...

The thing with First Class is that it should be more expensive but people expect something for that now- London Midland is really annoying me at the moment- i pay the extra for a a seat plug socket and comfort- but the guards are not checking tickets in First, maybe because they are too busy...

Hi all, since the changes made for the 110 project has London Midland moved some of their commuter style stock from the Trent Valley services to the Birmingham New Street service to Liverpool Lime Street? I sometimes get the slightly cheaper option via Crewe from LM as it's often quiet...

That's great i wasn't sure if anyone would do that as it's so late in the evening! Plus i'm staying in work until 7pm then going North London to Euston!

Hi all I am going back to Manchester at 21:40 Friday from London Euston. Can anyone confirm/let me know. a)if the first class lounge should still be open (It says till 23:00 on VT website.) b) will i be offered any drinks/refreshments on the train so late in the evening? I need to plan...

i can actually see some logic in x country tonight, the 1727 Manchester to Southampton has been doubled up! That doesn't happen very often

Looks like the media are really starting to dig into LM's poor management, it's now in the Telegraph and twice on BBC news channel today, who can blame them, not a good day today. Nearly 100 trains cancelled/amended and also problems at Crewe earlier today will also have hampered their ability...

i think its down by 3 minutes, which is fine still gives me plenty of time to get to New St. Next challenge, will my 1:02 train to Crewe be running now they say the line is back and working, but i imagine there are still delays and stock/ drivers out of place? i'm on a cheap advanced to...

Just on the 1330 to Birmingham From Marylebone, 3 minutes before departure they announced a train change and platform. Whilst this could have been for any reasons is this fair? We are now all cramped like sardines onto a train with fewer carriages, the original platform was announced at 1308...
