    Special Offers Discussion

    I used my Morrisons voucher with no issues. I selected Scotrail, but bought a ticket Shrewsbury to Manchester and it worked perfectly.

    TOD Collection issues

    I'm travelling from Crewe to Glasgow tomorrow morning, I've just been to my local unstaffed station to pick up the tickets. The ticket machine says my tickets have already been collected or partially collected. Now, I might have had a senior moment and collected them already, but I don't think I...

    Changed trip/holiday plans due to rail strikes

    I’m going away 19th to 24th June, travelling from Shropshire to Glasgow. My plans were, go to Oban on the 5.20 train on the Monday and then make use of a 3 day central Scotland rover, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Only I could book a rail based holiday, on the week of strikes! As it stands I...

    Phone speaker noise on trains - have we given up completely?

    I was lucky enough to go from Kings Cross to Inverness last year in first as part of LNERs seat sale. It was a bucket list trip for me. I took my single seat and settled down, looking forward to the journey ahead. Then, a businessman type bloke sat behind me and starting phoning people. I ended...

    Salisbury to Shrewsbury via Newport the HoWales to Swansea over 2 days?

    As a slightly different option, how about getting a return or a couple of advances from Salisbury to Newport and then taking advantage of a Explore South Wales rover ticket. 4 days in 8 travel for £44.45 with a railcard. This would give you virtually unlimited travel in a triangle from...

    TfW Price Increases

    Yes, I should be grateful, it's not gone up more I suppose. I only found the £6.50 fare in the summer and felt it very reasonable. £9 'seems' too expensive. As I only do leisure trips it just means I do less, thus decreasing revenue for the railway, not increasing it. Thanks for the relpy

    TfW Price Increases

    Evening. I do the occasional leisure trips involving my local station (WEM, Shropshire) and Manchester Piccadilly. In the summer the cheapest advance was £6.50 one way. In early October I noticed it had gone up to £8. Just browsing now and seen the same trip is now £9 per trip on a random day...

    Collecting Tickets at Northern Machines

    I spoke to their twitter account last night, and they said just pick up on the day from Manchester Piccadilly. Im not desperately impressed to be honest, I'm travelling with my elderly parents and will have just less than 20 mins to pick them up. I'd much rather be organised and have the tickets...

    Collecting Tickets at Northern Machines

    Morning all. I read all about the trouble collecting the Northern £1 offer tickets. I left it until yesterday to pick mine up in Shropshire. I also couldn't get any to print, not even a receipt. I did genuinely think this would have been resolved by now. What is my best course of action? I...
