Winsford circular route W7 will be operated by D&G from September, with direct services to Middlewich and Sandbach https://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/news/revised-winsford-circular-bus-service-to-improve-connections-across-the-town-and-beyond

When I searched for tickets I simply typed in “Zone U3* London”. London City Airport does just happen to be the DLR station I’m travelling to, but the retailer doesn’t know that. That’s what I thought too

I've bought a ticket from Norwich to London Zone U3 from Avanti's app. I'm travelling from Norwich to Stratford, then from Stratford to a Zone 3 DLR station. It's given me an e-ticket, which I thought it wasn't meant to do for a journey involving TFL? Would I be fine using this on the train and...

On my Facebook I have just seen an advert from London Northwestern Railway ”Something in the group chat is about to get exciting. Sign up now to automatically receive our 27.04 reveal.” “An exclusive travel offer is dropping 27.04. Sign up to get on the list”

I'm signed up to Premier Inn's marketing emails and that's where I received the link.

Yes that's right, I'll edit the original post to say that They should be! It's part of Northern's "Bee Network Ticket Acceptance" list on the engineering works page, and it's on all the leaflets they've been handing out about it

One of my local stations is Sandbach, which is extremely far from Sandbach town centre. The station is in Elworth, so my grandad calls it Elworth. I wonder how many other locals also call it Elworth? Technically, Elworth is part of the town of Sandbach, but it's far enough away to be considered...

In a few days I will be travelling from Plumley, one of my local stations, to Manchester. I wanted to buy an off peak ticket as I wasn't sure about what time I'd make the return journey. I went to check the tickets available on the CrossCountry app, to find that only Advance Singles are being...

The 316 Sandbach to Cookesmere Lane takes 4 minutes outbound and 6 minutes inbound. It runs 3 times a day, 2 days a week. https://bustimes.org/services/316-sandbach-cooksmere-lane-circular-2. I have no idea why this route exists given that each bus stop is within a 15 minute walk of Sandbach Common.

And Avanti's £11.10 first class singles from Stafford to Edinburgh/Glasgow (£7.30 with railcard)

The Northern ones used to be 10p! But yes, I really loved TPE's £1 offer. Haven't seen either TPE or Northern £1 fares for a while though. One I particularly like is the Northern newspaper offer they do a few times a year, collect 2 tokens from a newspaper and pay £10 for a day ticket. Far...

Thank you for the tips everyone. Seems like a mixed bag of whether you get the job or not then! Did anyone else have to do those Arctic Shores assessments? I didn't like them and felt like I'd failed, then a few weeks later I get an email saying I'd progressed onto the next stage. And the same...

I completed online/video interviews with Avanti about 2 and a half weeks ago, and today I have got a response inviting me to a station tour and in person interview which will be in about 2 months time. Whoever told me that railway recruitment is not quick, is certainly not wrong. Does anyone...

On the 3rd of July I travelled from Sandbach to Carlisle, taking these trains: 07:23 Sandbach - Manchester Piccadilly 08:28 08:50 Manchester Piccadilly - Lancaster 10:02 10:14 Lancaster - Carlisle 13:41 I had a Northern Only Day Ranger which is £10.00, as this ticket isn't valid before 08:45 I...

Chester (I know, it's a city, not a town) has: Arriva Wales, Arriva North West, Stagecoach, D&G Bus, Al's Coaches, Aintree Coachline, M&H Coaches (operating for TrawsCymru). Up to you as to whether you define the different Arriva divisions as one operator or separate. Although Arriva and...
