Thank you. Perfect. The site had me worried when it says applications can take up to 5 days. Got my railcard ready to go.

Hi folks. Simple question... How long after purchase is a digital railcard (26-30) ready to use? Many thanks.

Journey completed fine. Barriers open when breaking journey. Ticket rejected by barriers when resuming journey, but was let through no questions asked.

Break of journey restrictions are contained within each ticket's restriction code. So, for example, code VN restricts BoJ on the outward portion. It says the restriction code is valid on Mondays-Fridays. nre.co.uk/vn I take this to mean I can use a ticket marked VN to break a journey on a...

I've done Conwy before. New adventures await...

Not bad, is it! The route for Conwy parkrun which I ended up attending is stunning. http://www.parkrun.org.uk/conwy/course/

The guard said the train had actually caught fire. I didn't see any flames myself- but all the action was happening under the train. Three fire crews turned up, plus an ambulance and police to close the adjacent road as the water supply was in the road. I turned down alternate transport- I was...

I was one of two passengers on that train this morning. Was an interesting start to the day! The guard was absolutely brilliant. The emergency services were there quickly. It was mentioned the train had a new engine installed the night before...

Hey guys. Got a headache inducing journey to make and I could do with some help with the best (cheapest) ticket combination. The itinerary is as follows (timings from NRE) Friday 01/09 Milton Keynes Central -> Euston dep 18:24 Saturday 02/09 Waterloo -> Winchester dep 07:10 Winchester ->...

Seems there's a new split ticket booking engine available. Do we reckon ticketclever.com is any good? Initial impression is that the user interface is good, but I am not yet sure if it's any good at finding split tickets.

Platform 5 at Milton Keynes Central is used all day in both directions.

Nobody has mentioned London Midland. I would assume it's Northampton to Euston with two non-stop services, though there's no northbound equivalent.

It doesn't cope very well with situations when the same service calls at the same station twice- when expanding the view to show all stops it gives all the calling points until you reach the station for the second time- which is also what's shown on the map. Found searching for a Llandudno to...

If I end up on the 05:37, I may do that for a bit of variety. Thanks.

Of course. Doesn't cope with either itinerary, the earliest it'll give me is a 07:23 departure. Not surprised it doesn't work with the double-back but I would have expected it to return a result for the 05:37. Thanks again Romilly.
