Yes it does say Cambridge. I am sure I clicked on 'Cambridge or Cambridge North' but I may have been wrong. Will double check another time. 1779461915 Thank you. that makes sense.

I have a ticket Cambridge to Kings Cross for next week. I should have bought ticket from Cambridge North (the price is the same). Is it likely I will be able to use it from North?

Very much a local view, but in Cottenham, Cambridge, the 8a formerly run by Stephensons (March to Cottenham) will now be run by A2B to Milton Park & Ride. I assume this is intended to allow better connections into Cambridge rather than trying to meet up with Stagecoach 8. Meanwhile the 110...

Thank you, GWR have just confirmed the same to me, perhaps I should have asked them first!

If using Pullman Dining, is it practical to take luggage with you to dining carriage rather than leave it unattended by your reserved seat?

One day last week the Cambridge to Harwich boat train at 19:46 was cancelled due to a fire at Ipswich. Would GA have been obliged to provide alternative transport to make sure a connection to Stena ferry?

Travelled on sleeper from Vienna to Amsterdam. At Passau police boarded, knocking on doors at 11pm. Opened door they took one look at us then shut the door again. Is this a usual nightly occurrence?

Stephensons will be running new 8A service March to Cottenham from 31 October. Will there be a requirement for the bus to wait for any delayed Stagecoach Citi8 arrival in Cottenham on the return run otherwise it would be pointless.

On a train, someone on mobile had a poor connection, kept saying "can you hear me?" Completely out of character I said " we can all here you". Didn't get an applause from fellow passengers but there were audible sniggers.

Just noticed that National Express, on their website, suggest getting off at Stratford on a normal day anyway, to save 45 minutes. Doesn't show confidence in being able to operate a timetabled service, though I still prefer to get on at VCS for the return journey.

Whenever I use National Express Cambridge to London, always get off at Stratford for the tube, always quicker than crawling the rest of the way

Travelled First Class on Avanti last year, Glasgow to London. Although we managed to secure our booked seats the train was rammed and First Class declassified. No great loss to us but Avanti offered us First Class return tickets as compensation. All very good but our bookings for BH week are...

Most passengers including Dutch holidaymakers used a Chipkaart which worked, I don't think think they lost much due to a few passengers not being able to use Chip & Pin.

We used bus from CenterParcs at De Eemhof to Almere Centrum, Chip & Pin machine was broken, same bus used on route so journeys were free.
