One member of staff takes control the front 6 coaches One member of staff takes control of the rear 6 coaches Should find after a couple times people take notice the trains not leaving and stand behind the yellow line. Might even be lucky and get help from passagers. I have told people to...

Only mentioning this as the validity between the two differ so it wouldn't be impossible to purchase the wrong ticket and an inspector might question why someones carrying a 16-25 ticket when they're clearly not that age and it seems kinda odd that a TVM in Cardiff City can issue 26-30 tickets...

I thought I looked through the T&C and didn't see any mention of buying 16-25 tickets, even double checked the FAQ before making this thread just to make sure I didn't miss anything :/ Or, at least I checked: https://www.26-30railcard.co.uk/help/railcard-terms-conditions/ I wasn't aware it was...

Purchased a 26-30 Explore Cardiff and Valley ticket from the office at Didcot Parkway without any issue But buying the exact same ticket a day later from Cardiff Central office and it wasn't on their system, the best they could offer was a 16-25 ticket for the same price After I was concerned...

Thanks for that They were a bit further past the gangway than I thought

Just wondering if there are any toilets on the 3 car 168/2 Chiltern Railway units No idea if its a refitted train (or if it matters), middle coach is Quiet Zone and it has sockets

I wouldn't be against this (As long as it was safe for the police to do) as there is no justification to trespassing, its just wrong. And who wouldn't want to see either a 121 or 142 and the Scotsman on the same day (or at least I'm guessing you're talking about the Class 121... bubble car :) )

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what this was? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H32397/2018/12/14/advanced My mate mentioned it had pretty strong lights pointing into the air what seems a little odd. Wish I had seen it :/ That RTT is the only movement I can see around 11:30 between...

Thanks for both of your replies. This is what I assumed and wish I had thought things through more on the day, stopped at the station and at least spoke to platform staff about this rather than making the connection.

I've always assumed my advance ticket would be valid for the service it was scheduled for and if there are any delays that means I would not be able to make that connection [safely?] it would be valid for the next service. I usually speak to a member of the information center when I've had...

So, I purchased an Advance ticket via the Virgin Train site for a ticket from Oxford to Haymarket using the following services: XC : Oxford - York LNER: York - Waverley Scot Rail: Waverley - Haymarket While none of these services used Virgin Trains directly, I used there twitter for help as I...

Awesome. Thanks very much GW43125. :D Are these tickets available at Self Serve or only Ticket office when you're at the station or does TVM mean Self Serve, if so then Its going to be Ticket Office Thanks

Hello I'm just wondering if you can buy Rover tickets anywhere (for example buy a Explore Cardiff & Valleys Rover at Oxford Station) or does it need to be a station run by Arriva Trains Wales? I've noticed on the website: "The Explore Cardiff & Valleys ticket is valid for travel after 09.30...

Thanks for the info Think all my Advanced Fare tickets have had names at the bottom, VTWC ticket had my correct name on it, but this was because it asked for my First/Last name rather than Name on Card. Oh well... All is good anyway. I'll keep that in mind when I next book via the XC website...

Collected from the machine. Put card in - take it out - input collection details - get ticket Ah OK, sorry about that. I thought that the ticket had to match the railcard. So I should have been fine anyway if I held my RailCard, ID, Credit Card I paid with and the confirmation -----------...
