Popped into Sandwell & Dudley this morning to buy a weekly season ticket, brand new with new photocard, but notice it was printed "renewal" on the ticket. Does it make any difference to the issuing station/TOC? Obviously it doesn't to me but thought it was unusual.

I have an RTV dated 29 May 2013, is it still valid to use today? I've just been refused it's use at a ticket offic because "it expired yesterday"

Engineering work between Euston and Watford Junction has been cancelled tonight, so VT have helpfully extended their trains to Euston (showing as seperate services on RTT) although LM appear to still be terminating at WFJ with the buses running...

Crowd control has been put in place at Birmingham New Street for weekends until Christmas, presumably in response to problems last weekend. The measures include not showing platform numbers on screens until the train arrives (the departure boards now show if a train has "Arrived" rather than...

Tonight's 2314 from Birmingham to Coventry was apparently full and standing leaving New Street this evening with the potential to leave 200+ people behind at Birmingham international following an event at the LG arena. Some quick thinking from LM they turned an ECS move into an additional...

Something I need clarifying in my mind, Yesterday I travelled from Birmingham New Street to Wembley Central on an off peak return, but I returned from Wembley Stadium to Birmingham Moor Street as it was a quicker journey. I wasn't ticket-checked on the way at all and would have been happy to...

Everything is delayed, Cross City getting cancelled, all due to a signalling failure at Proof House Jn. platform allocations have been wiped from screens and being announced when known, unfortunately announcements are contradicting the screens, there are also NR staff basically reading out loud...

Just wondering how much people value their time. Today I've broken a journey at Preston for around 7 hours in order to get the cheapest ticket, a saving of approx £30, but 4 hours in I'm starting to think I should have just paid more to travel later as there's not a lot to do here in Preston on...

Looking to travel to Glasgow the weekend of 9-10 November, wondering if anyone can help me beat the following fares: Saturday 9/11: advance (multiple times) Wolverhampton - Glasgow: £44.50 Sunday 10/11: advance: 1536 Glasgow - Carlisle - Newcastle - Birmingham 2206: £46.00 Need to arrive...

Took at journey from Surrey Quays to Southbury on Thursday, touched a pink reader at Whitechapel to change from Overground to the District Line, but because I didn't touch one at Stratford, when changing from Central line onto a Geeater Anglia service to Cheshunt, I've been charged £6.20 instead...

I have accidentally put 6 advances (12 coupons) through the washing machine together, they have come out stuck together in a block thankfully rather than in bits, but in prizing them apart some are more legible tha others in that some are probably fine, but some have key info like destination or...

I'm looking on London Midland's website, at fares for 5 people from Hayes & Harlington to Staines on Monday 9 September There's an Off Peak Day Single Groupsave (route via Windsor) at £25.20 valid on trains from 9:32, but there's also an Anytime Day Single Groupsave at £34.20 which isn't...

Yesterday four of us took a train journey from Wolverhampton to Birmingham. Two of us with valid tickets (one of them being me), the other two not travelling on valid tickets as one was using a day ticket dated for the day before, and the other using a ticket that didn't cover the zone we were...

Hi all I'm looking for the best way to do a journey from Wolverhampton to Norwich on the weekend of 30/8-1/9. Looking to travel to Norwich on Fri 30/8 departing after 1600, onto Leicester on Sat 31/8 and then back to Birmingham on Sun 1/9 or Monday 2/9 with that flexibility available...

According to BBC Midlands Today on Twitter (@bbcmtd) a train has hit a tractor. From NRE:

Apparently a train has a fire on board at Watford Junction. I am sat on the 2225 Wolverhampton train at Euston which.hasn't left, we have no ETD

Looking to travel to London on Sunday 14 July, from Wolverhampton, coming back on the 23:25 train, but there are no advances available to either Birmingham or Wolverhampton on this train or the 22:35 before it (although there is to Coventry on this train). Can anyone think why?

Does anyone have a better option than the £30 SVR and £2.90 Metrolink fare for the above journey? I want to arrive before 13:00 and depart as late as possible but as there is only £2 difference between an advance each way and the off peak return, the flexibility currently wins out.

I know this has come up before, that if a train is not advertised in the timetable as having first class, but the train does have a first class zone, that is therefore declassified? Is this documented anywhere? This morning a 350/1 ran the 0919 Wolverhampton-Walsall train which is not...

Booked an off peak return from Birmingham to Haywards Heath route High Wycombe with East Midlands Trains website today and collected it from a TVM, noticed I had a seat reservation marked coach * seat ***, which I'm used to getting with some advances, but never got it with any other ticket...
