Do operators get a share of ticket prices if they operate services on a 'permitted route' for a flow? Or does the operator who sets the price flow get the whole chunk? If the fares are shared out, then surely changes to the Routeing Guide would need to be reflected in the proportion of...

There's a new routeing guide on ATOCs website, updated on 16/10/2009... So if you're using 'creative' routes, you might want to check that they are still valid. They seem to have cut out the route via Southampton for London to Newport / Cardiff etc. This may be in an attempt to prove that SWT...

I'm looking at starting a new job in London soon. I currently near Three Bridges station, in Crawley - but I might be moving to Horsham soon... Now, the question is would a Season Ticket from Three Bridges to London Terminals (any permitted), be valid from Horsham? The prices seem to...

it looks like there's yet another new version of the routing guide out (dated 07/08/2009) I've not had much of look but at first glance: Maps: NK Grove Park Added Ramsgate repositioned KL New Map! DL New Map! DG Grantham and Sleaford removed CH Hunts Cross Added...

Well, if it's any help the staff at St Pancras have let me excess a SSR to Sheffield to a SVR to Manchester before… I’d rocked up with a Super Off Peak return to Sheffield on a Friday evening as they’re timetable says that afternoon restrictions for Off Peak tickets are waved on Fridays (or...

South West Trains not knowing about the Routing Guide, and then trying to cover it up ? Sounds awfully familiar to me….I am still awaiting a conclusion to my Three Bridges to Newport problem… http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=22516 However, at least ATOC have agreed that the route...

Hmmm.... That's the bit i'm having problems with. The ticket says that it has restriction 5F, and this is the text for 5f. It then goes on to make no mention of Kings Cross... In fact it only mentions Euston, Milton Keynes and Watford Junction. I've just managed to find out what 9F is...

Glynn80, you're quite correct that there are two London -> Carlisle flows (any permitted and via Newcastle), however I'm going from Three Bridges and the flows that I can see are: +Any Permitted XC &Connections +VWC & Connectns The journey planner prices my journey via Newcastle as...

For once, the bugs in the online journey planner is on my side! I've got a wedding in to go to in Newcastle on a Saturday, but thought it might be nice to travel accross with my father from Carlisle. That would mean traveling up to Carilse sometime mid week, going to the wedding, travelling...

I'm now so close to getting them to agree it's valid! However, they're claiming that the route has to be BD+CE: "The guide says that I can use maps BD+CE" Worcester is on map CE so a journey from Worcester uses maps CE then BD. This is not in sequential order, therefore it is not a...

I know you'll all say "don't bother with National Rail Enquiries", but I did ask them about this route and this is part of their response: I have investigated your proposed journey and I can confirm that a journey from Worcester to Shrewsbury, changing at Cheltenham Spa and Newport (S.Wales) is...

Found it - 'If there are three to nine of you travelling together, you can save money by buying a GroupWales ticket, which gives each of you 25% off the full price ticket' Now... i wonder if they could use this on the Worcester - Shrewsbury ticket ;)

That'll be it Devon_Metro - Groupsave ;) However, it doesn't seem to stretch to that route... is there such a thing for Wales?

Hi, my Girlfriend's mother (and bunch of roudy oaps) want to travel from Newport to Shrewsbury this Saturday... The cheap day return looks somewhat expensive at 29.50 so I had a quick look at the routes in the guide... I have a feeling that they could get a CDR from Worcester to Shrewsbury...

They said: A ticket between these points is valid for travel via London, Redhill/Reading, Clapham Junction/Reading or Clapham Junction/Salisbury Hay ho :roll:
