    Wrong Ticket Sold on board Greater Anglia train?

    Whilst not an official source, BRFares is reliable and shows the following for the Super Off Peak Return: Thus it would appear such a ticket could be used at that time, but tickets must be bought before boarding where the opportunity exists.

    If it were me I would contact XC via eg Twitter / live chat and explain I needed to get off a stop early due to eg family reasons, and ask them to make an exception & give permission to get off early at no additional charge... asking them to pass it on to a manager if needed. Their social media...

    West Midlands Trains Industrial Action July/August 2026

    Rail & Sail - traveling tonight but no printer

    No toilets on the train - ticket validity?

    I'd start by asking the guard / TM if a toilet stop is planned or can be done, before leaving the train. Eg LNWR did this at Stafford on a service I was on, and they also have an extended dwell at Northampton on the Birmingham services.

    Major Failure of Ely North Jn 16-02-26

    I was caught up in this and had to bail at March to do the rest by taxi. 0922 Birmingham - Stansted was the last train, I believe, to run throughout.

    Trivia: Examples of stations in other countries that are very close to each other.

    Nowhere near as close as the others but shoutout to Germersheim, my old university city :D 1km as the crow flies - essentially the distance of the Manc Ordsall Chord apart.
