Ah I must have missed that deduction... a big tut tut to myself being as I was RAPC :D

I have not served since 1986 but I remember that my HM Forces railcard was issued to me. I notice the OP mentions purchasing the card.... is this a thing? Are reservists not issued the railcard?

Well the trip is over, did the right thing in using a taxi I think although it was very tight on time.Thank you everyone again for all the advice and suggestions.Taxis ended up costing just over £15 each way but managed to get all four of us inc wheelchair, 2 large suitcases and 2 holdalls in...

Thanks everyone for the quick replies :) We arrive at Euston 1415 and have a 45 minute connection time, I have no idea if that`s a busy time?? The answer seems to be get the taxi ...maybe a daft question but would all four of us get in one cab with perhaps a couple of suitcase and holdalls...

Any advice please? 4 of us travelling from Birmingham to Great Yarmouth via London, the advance tickets include a journey on the tube from Euston Sq to Liverpool St ( after an 8minute walk from Euston ). One of the party will be using a wheelchair and I`m wondering how easy this short journey...

That`s a great start...2 pubs on the station and no doubt a few on the way to the stadium :) Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi All, My son is going to Rhyl on Friday 16th May for the day. I`ve had a look at fares and I see the off peak day return for £34.10 and I`m hoping/wondering if there are any splits to bring the price down? I have looked at splitting at Chester and also Shrewsbury without any luck....also NO...

Perhaps this could help? 2 months free F&F railcard offer http://www.familyandfriends-railcard.co.uk/trialcard/ I believe you are also sent a code for £10 off the price for a full years card thus making it £20 for 14months :)

Whilst browsing the various railtour sites planning trips for next year, I thought I would just take a quick look at the Spitfire site and was surprised to see that the site had been updated ( abeit in August ) simply with a the message " We will be back". Has anyone any more recent news about...

The company I work for has incorporated Bank Holidays into the annual leave entitlement thus giving 20 days + 8 Bank hols giving 28 days leave. We either book Bank hols off using a days hols or work them and keep the day for use when we want. I am in a position where I don`t work Mondays or...
