Hello, I have a question concerning a delay repay. Travelling on the 27/12 from Ipswich to Harrogate my connection from Peterborough to Leeds was late so I missed the connection to Harrogate and arrived over an hour late. I'm unsure which delay repay scheme to apply to. The ticket was...

The Eurocity from Geneve to Milano Centrale is frequently delayed (for a Swiss train). Yesterday I noticed that the arrival time in Sion of the train departing Montreux at 8.36am was 5 minutes later than it was previously; now it arrives at 9.11 am and the train takes 35 minutes instead of 30...

Hi, When you buy an advanced ticket with connections is there a way to know what part of the journey is a set train? I want to travel from Ipswich to Didcot via London which has advanced fares available and spend a couple of hours in London, but only if the Ipswich London leg is treated...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I thought DISC was for railcards, however I didn't enter a rail card discount when I bought the tickets - will the guard demand I present a railcard? Thanks, Chris

Hi, I have received some advanced tickets from East coast and noticed in the area of the ticket where it would say Y-P etc on one set is DISC and the other SMGRP - what does this mean and is there a new code for this field? Thanks!

Hi, I read a while ago Eurostar were going to introduce new services to other European destinations from London such as Geneva sometime in 2012. Does anyone know of news about this project? Thanks, Chris

Hi, Thanks for this. The more I think about it, it seems a real con! Unless you are travelling to and from the airport in a day (I'm sure not the usual flow) you're stuck paying the peak single fare (or about 20p less) or a return at 2x peak single. I've tried searching for when peak...

Hi, A friend was advised this Tuesday by a member of staff at Gatwick airport to buy an Anytime return ticket at £27 (Southern only to Vic) even though they were travelling to London at 1700 and returning a day later at 1500. I think I'm right in saying this wasn't the cheapest option and 2...

A couple of years ago the bridge to the east of Barnham station was widened I think to extend the Bognor branch line some how. I thought this was to allow platform 1 to be used as a passing loop for stopping services to allow a faster service between Portsmouth and Brighton. However nothing...

Hi, I wonder if someone could explain the rules about buying an excess on ticket as I've had very mixed experiences. The journeys in question are: 1)Return leg of off peak return London Terminals to Worthing. Often I have wanted to return to Richmond instead, when I ask the train guard...

Thanks, I haven't got the ticket yet but was planning to get an off peak return from London Euston to Porthmadog via Birmingham, with a YP for £44.40. From your last post perhaps the best option would be to by a single from Shrewsbury to Blaenau Ffestiniog for £13.20 on the way up? Thanks,

Thanks for the quick answer. Can this be done with any non-advanced ticket? I tried it before for journeys and had a mixed success (eg Worthing - London Terminals, but wanted to go to Richmond on way back). I feel sometimes its the ticket office clerk not being helpful. Thanks,

Hello, Does anyone know if I can pay an excess fare to be able to use an off-peak return from London to Porthmadog to travel up to Blaenau Ffestiniog instead on the outward and return from Porthmadog? I want to avoid hours on a bus I would have to take travelling to Porthmadog this Thursday...
