Thank you for all your help - I do have the correct tickets. I confused myself
The collection receipt says 8 coupons but refers to 12 ticket nos - 89508-89519
The 2 actual tickets are numbered 89508 and 89514 (outward) and 89511 and 89517 (return)
The reservation coupons each have 2 ticket...
Hopefully this is the correct thread for this:
I bought 2 Advance return tickets from Peterborough to Manchester Victoria (via Leeds) from the Rail UK website dated 22/01/2026
We are travelling tomorrow.
I have collected the tickets, and the accompanying voucher says there are 8 coupons in...
Thank you for your replies.
I bought this ticket(x2) from the RailUK website - ref [redacted]
The given itinery is:
0842 Kings Lynn to Cambridge
0953 Cambridge to London Bridge
1125 London Bridge to Waterloo East (Southeastern)
The forum's usual advice is that as I have been given a specific...
I have ordered tickets from Kings Lynn to Waterloo East, via London Bridge (Great Northern, Thameslink and Southeastern Trains)
I have been supplied tickets from Kings Lynn to London Underground zone 1 for this journey.
I realise the Thameslink core is included in zone one, but I am unsure if...
I bought tickets from your website - ref N28G6CR2 and HFRT5T58 - to be collected from Kings Lynn station, KLN.
I Paid by Mastercard.
I put the same card in the machine this morning to collect the tickets and got the message: 'You cannot use this card'
Luckily the ticket office was open and...
Thank you for everyone who has written in.
I am very familiar with a Querty keyboard and I am a very fast typist on a Querty keyboard.
I worked in an office from 1983 until 2020 using desktops/laptops. It is not an old/young thing as I would imagine older people are a lot more familiar with the...
I didn't type my OP very well.
What I meant is that it must be possible to have 2 keyboard layouts on the screen at the same time, or a selector button to change the keyboard to the most suitable one for the user.
Even if only 3/10 people are quicker using an ABCDE etc layout and have the...
I tend to buy tickets from home and collect them at the station.
The ticket machines have on-screen Querty Keyboards which makes entering the collection number a much longer process that it has to be.
There is often a queue and you can see that some people struggle to find where the letters are...
Some advice please.
My wife is not well and has limited mobility as well as balance problems.
We travel from Kings Lynn to SW destinations via Waterloo when we can.
We found that the Victoria line/change at Oxford Circus was too difficult due to the long walk at Kings Cross and deep tube...
I have a Senior Railcard for which the Terms & Conditions used to say it can only be used after 10am in the Network SE area. I notice that the website now says it can not be used at 'peak times' but is not specific when that is.
It seems I can now buy a ticket using the railcard for trains...
There is a foot crossing approx one mile south of Kings Lynn station called Nowhere. Occasionally there is a proper sign, but it doesn't seem to stay for long (souvenir collectors?). How did a crossing ever get such a strange name and why was the name kept? It must cause all sorts of confusion...
I never imagined the bus times might change. The current 6/6A Exeter-Bude timetable (Stagecoach website) is dated 25th February 2018 which implies there is no difference between the summer and winter times.
Hopefully the return Advance train ticket I bought will still be okay if the bus times do...
Thanks for the quick reply. I cannot get the same results as you!
I have bought GWR rail Advance tickets from Kings Lynn to Exeter and back for these dates: 12th + 17th June. There are no through Advance tickets from Kings Lynn to Bude on these dates.
To complete the bus section of the trip, I...
Kings Lynn - Peterborough (via Excel bus) - York/Newcastle/Edinburgh
Kings Lynn - Exeter - Bude
These are journeys I take several times a year.
BR fares show a number of off-rail destinations such as those above. The available tickets however seem to be reduced each year.
The LNER website no...
Thanks for the interest

The date I was looking at was July 29th. It seems in retrospect that a peculiarity of this journey is that if there have been no Advance fares released, then there is not a 'Normal' fare to show instead, so the East Coast Trains website says 'no fares available...
