    Cheapest fare today.

    What is the cheapest way of getting from Cheam to Worthing today please? There's RRB's from Sutton to East Croydon And there's no trains from West Sutton. Ideally I'd like to avoid the RRB's and Clapham Junction if possible. As I know CLJ increases the fare cost. I have a 26 to 30 railcard...

    Full Brighton Mainline Closure - 13th July 2025

    Just seen on southern website, 'urgent'reapirs to the track are taking place meaning no trains at all from east Croydon to Gatwick Airport. The 'urgent' repairs are not taking place until 13th July. 2 questions: 1. If the work is urgent, why wait a month? 2. What work is taking place?

    Will this be treated a two separate journeys?

    I think it will.... So my friend is looking at train tickets to York. They say its cheaper to buy the ticket from Kings Cross to York. I have advised them to buy a ticket from their starting point (Carshalton) to York, as its not cheaper. (£6.00 each way to/from KGX) If the Carshalton >...
