    It was North/South of the River Thames, apparently. Reds v Blues.

    Help requested. I'm esearching a journey made in 1895 by the British Ladies Football Club

    5,000 at the North vs South (British Ladies Football Club) match played at Gigg Lane, Bury on Saturday 13th April 1895 with co-founder Nettie J. Honeyball credited as one of the goalscorers.

    BR ticket offices not at a station

    Not sure this quite counts for the purposes of this thread, but vaguely recall once being on an internal flight inbound to London Gatwick Airport where the cabin crew were endeavouring to sell rail tickets valid for the Gatwick Express into London Victoria.

    Cross Country- traveling with altered railcard

    Likely will be asked for the price of an undiscounted Off Peak Single from Manchester Stations to Bristol Temple Meads (= £114.40), or £122.60 if charged at the Anytime Single rate, PLUS a three figure fee on top, perhaps some £150.00 or £175.00. No credit given for what's already been paid...

    Who to claim delay repay from when bought from one TOC, but the delay was with another

    @702. Really?! So, what ticket(s) did you actually have?

    Northern Advance ticket question - will miss my connection, what're my options?

    Delay Repay claim from XC? What can legitimately be claimed? The cost of the travel on XC plus the Northern advance? But has the OP intentionally delayed themselves by waiting for the 1848?

    Unable to find valid fare for Jan 2027 journey

    The £65 ticket is likely to be an Off Peak Day Single (Route ✠SOUTHERN & WMT) and is only good as far as Crewe. From Crewe onwards to Wem, an Anytime Day Single would be an additional £12.90. As the OP is contemplating a return trip, there's always the possibility of buying a walk-up Off Peak...

    Annoying television adverts...

    Is this the one? Not previously seen the ad myself. Is it only being aired/broadcast in certain regions? Who's behind the campaign?

    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    Are commercial property landlords likely to "shoot themselves in the foot" if they continue to overly increase store rents?

    Freedom of North East / Hull Trains

    I'd say the 4 days in 8 Freedom of North East Rover is NOT valid on Grand Central or Hull Trains. Valid on CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway, London North Eastern Railway, Lumo, Northern and TransPennine Express. Anyone able to definitively confirm?

    Issue with Trainoal booking for Luton Airport to Worcester

    The absence of a ✠ symbol is (usually) an indication that a ticket isn't meant for travel using London Underground's services.

    Ticketing from stations outside Greater Manchester including validity on the trams

    It doesn't. From Huddersfield, you'd need the through ticket to be to destination 'GM METROLNK Z1' to travel in the City Centre. It's an extra £1.40 for an adult single within Metrolink Zone 1 if/when such ticket is needed to be bought separately.

    Queries about the "Popeye" cartoon character raised by a year 7 schoolgirl

    Some sources claim the fictional character was aged maybe early 40s. Have to say he looks older than that to me! BTW. The parents of Popeye's four nephews don't seem to be officially named anywhere.

    Missing Cambrian services on 23/10

    Indeed. The 0622 and 0822 TfW departures from Birmingham New Street both seem only to be running as far as Shrewsbury.

    Fares via Manchester including Metrolink validity: has this changed recently?

    If the timings work, why not, but the direct TPE to Victoria runs only once per hour and doesn't normally operate on Sundays.
