I hold a Chester -> Salford Crescent off peak return. The outward portion (dated today, 18/8) will be part-used to travel Chester - Birkenhead tonight. Tomorrow (19/8) I intend to complete my journey by travelling Birkenhead - LIV - MAN - Salford. I wasn't informed about any BoJ...

I used the TPE website yesterday to purchase several APs (TPE between Manchester and Liverpool/Middlesbrough if it makes any difference). After the fourth booking, the following message appeared: Does anybody know why? My first thought was that it was an anti-fraud measure, but if so...

It's my father's birthday soon so I'm hoping to treat him to some time away from the daily rat race, to a couple places he's keen on visiting. Please can anyone advise a cheap way of doing the following weekday journeys, on flexible tickets, for two passengers? Pax 1: Free Merseyrail & bus...

Hello folks :) I'd like to hear your experiences of travelling (bonus points if by rail) in Eastern Europe, and any recommendations of journeys worth doing or areas worth visiting. Through a stroke of luck I'm able to fit in an extra holiday in Autumn/Winter and due to the low cost of...

Does anybody have experience of the overnight Megabus (2215 Paris - London Victoria 0730) or if not, other overnight coach services under the water? I'm booked on one in just over a week's time and need to purchase an onward advance from Euston. I'm wondering if an 0846 departure from EUS will...

A few questions, all opinions welcome. I recognise there are probably other forums on the internet dedicated to such matters but I thought I'd ask here first, and there's only so much information that can be gleaned from the Gov.uk travel advice website. Firstly, has anybody travelled to the...

In Autumn/Winter I'll be going back to Germany for a few days, more specifically to visit Berlin and Sylt. Whilst train tickets aren't on sale yet, plane tickets are, so I'll be looking to book by next month. Is there anywhere near/inbetween the aforementioned cities that anyone would...

An actress who cannot be identified for legal reasons falsely claimed a commuter sexually assaulted her. The scary thing is that this could have been anyone whatsoever, including us on the forum, that got dragged through the media and had their reputation trashed. Not to mention the (potentially...

I wrote to London Midland in December as I was unable to get an itinerary on one ticket from Birkenhead Central/Liverpool - Birmingham via Chester and Wrexham, where I needed to stop off, and Shrewsbury. This is a permitted route in the RG [at time of email to LM] but all fares from LIV-BHM (and...

Just got off at Manc Oxford Road and there's a queue of at least 50 people for the excess fares window. Possibly more, as a trainload of people arrives every few minutes. No assistant ticket sellers either, as far as I could tell. Didn't get a photo but if anyone else is passing through...

Is there a cheaper way of travelling from Stansted to Luton and back with an overnight break of journey in both directions? Hold a YP railcard. 8th Jan at approx 23:30 Stansted Airport -> Bromley-by-Bow 9th Jan at approx 07:00 Bromley-by-Bow -> Luton Airport 11th Jan at approx 23:00 Luton...

My placement in Germany will be ending on 30/03/16, so I will need to travel back to England. I hold a BC25. Using DB's booking engine, I can see that €64 singles are available for Germersheim - London a few days prior (booking opens for my date in a week or two). This is via Brussels and it is...

How are the prices for these journeys worked out then? (For anyone unable to view the image, Stockholm to Ostersund on 04.03.15) I understand the difference between Non-rebookable, Rebookable and Refundable. It's just that the prices for each journey seem to be plucked from the air at random...

I was looking at making a journey from Birkenhead to Penzance next Spring, and was surprised to find no fares via London. Is there any particular reason why these journeys aren't allowed, or have fares, via London? Typical journey time from Chester to Penzance via Hereford is 8 hours. Via...

Obviously in the UK, two or more tickets can be used for one journey, and if using one or more advances, the next train can be used in the event of a delay. My understanding is that on the Deutsche Bahn network, two or more tickets can be used for one journey as there is nothing in the...

On Sunday 29th Nov, I'm on a 10.55am arrival. Does anybody have any experience of how long it takes to get through customs/passport control/etc? British passport holder, no impairments, and I won't have any luggage, so hopefully that will help. Will a 12.15 rail departure (towards London) be...

I went for a trip from Germersheim to Karlsruhe and back today. Germersheim had a ticket machine, so no problem there. But on the way back, I had to take the S1 (tram/train) from Marktplatz to Hauptbahnhof to change for a long-distance RE4 service. I couldn't find a ticket machine on either...

A friend of mine would like to know if anyone else has experience of applying for jobs with SWT and asked what it means if their status has gone from "new" to "open" in the software that SWT use? It's been like that a week apparently. TIA

Can anyone suggest a route for me, preferably something out of the ordinary? Price isn't an issue if it's less than £30 after the 16-25 railcard discount (advance tickets are fine). I'm making a single journey from Liverpool (could also go from Chester) to London on Sat 3rd October. Doesn't...

Following a request by forum staff, I have begun creating seating plans in greater detail than those typically available online. The priority will be reservable services, with non-reservable to follow. The plans will show the location of plug sockets, seats with window view, toilets, luggage...
