    VTEC Changes to advance tickets

    Thanks. So if I've got this right, I buy a new ticket and then apply for a refund for the old one? Potentially waiting a little while for the money to go back on my card?

    VTEC Changes to advance tickets

    Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere Have Virgin Trains East Coast changed their process for amending a ticket? I have a very straightforward change of date for an Advance 1st from Kings Cross to York, a process I've done a few times in the past by paying the £10 fee and any price...

    Yes it definitely includes the Wightlink 'Fastcat' service from Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde Pier Head. I've done this many times and the ferry departures are from the train stations (just follow signs round the corner and down the ramp)

    Ticket to Ryde

    Would anyone be able to shed any light on why 'Ryde Pier Head' isn't coming up as a valid location on Red Spotted Hanky (and other similar sites?) ? Only a few months ago I was able to buy a ticket form London to Ryde Pier Head on that site. Why would it have suddenly changed? It's always...

    So if a discounted ticket is excessed to a non-discounted fare due to the travel time being outside of the Network Railcard validity times, does the railcard still need to be held for that journey? I'd think not - as surely the fare has been excessed to a ticket that anyone without the railcard...
