    Which ticketing app is the best? (for changing Advance fares, loading Smartcards etc)

    Please let me know if I understand this correctly. I can buy an advance ticket on the TfW website for another operators service, for example Northern Railway, and change it to a different train for fare difference but no fees?

    Question about what off-peak means for a railcard

    Looking at fares between Manchester Airport and Blackpool North and seeing that the restriction code says that all trains are off-peak regardless of the time of day. Does this mean that using a Two Together rail card that can only be used on off-peak trains can be used any time of the day on...

    Can I do this myself or do I have to wait for Avanti to give me permission?

Train was supposed to depart Crewe at 09:39am but we have a rolling delay and it is now 10:30am and the train is still being held at Crewe.

    Can’t verify my email address with Avanti

    I use Gmail which is a very common email provider. Gmail do not reject any messages outright, they automatically filter some to the Spam folder. I’m not seeing these in my spam folder.

    Can’t verify my email address with Avanti

    I have created an account on Avanti’s website and I am able to purchase tickets. I am unable to get them to send any emails to me though. When I login they tell me that I need to verify my email address by clicking on the link in an email that they’ve sent to me. I never receive the email no...

    Unable to find cheap advance fares from London to Preston or Blackpool on 1/9.

    I’m arriving into Heathrow late on 31/8 and want to head up to Preston or Blackpool on the morning of 1/9. When I booked my plane ticket about 3 months ago there were no cheap advance rail fares available. I’ve checked a few times a week since and cheaper fares were never offered. Any...

    Delay Repay Claim On-hold Due To Illegible Ticket Number
