I have two tickets for today. One is Selby to Kings Cross, with an Itinerary departing Selby at 0911, Ticket Type 'Advanced Single' and Route 'Valid on Specified Hull Trains only'. Fair enough, I understand all that. I then have another one from London Bridge to High Brooms, with an itinerary...

I'm not engaged in a dispute yet, but just want to get ahead of the game somewhat.... I am travelling today from Selby to Manchester Airport with TPE, and went to the ticket machine on one of the platforms. My sale seemed to go through but, after printing the outbound ticket (I was buying an...

I'm currently travelling on the 1224 from Reading to Gatwick Airport. In advance, I checked on the National Rail website and it said that it would be 22.10, if I paid via contactless, so I tapped in at Reading. When the ticket inspector came round, he first told me that I couldn't use...

Just starting a new thread, but it is based on another one, where someone is embroiled in a seconds-critical debate regarding boarding a train without a ticket even though it doesn't seem like it had started moving yet. This brings a few questions to mind.... 1) In the past, it used to be a...

My son has been caught up with all of the industrial action on Hull Trains yesterday. For 'reasons', he had bought two different tickets - a single ticket on the 1348 from Kings Cross to Selby, and also a Return ticket that was coming out on the 1548 Kings Cross to Selby and going back tomorrow...

I have to get a Transatlantic flight from Manchester Airport at 1405 this Sunday, which sounds nice and relaxed, but actually it seems fairly tricky getting there from York for 1100-ish with any sort of safety margin. In fact, the earliest arrival that I can get on Trainline is 1123, which is...

I was out with my son yesterday and he was telling me a story about how he once got an Overground from Shepherds Bush to Stratford but, because the train was running late, they cut out a lot of stations and went direct to Stratford. Anyway, I was on the Overground from Shepherds Bush to...

My son is currently on the 1503 from Birmingham New Street, getting to Doncaster at 1717, in time for the 1726 Hull Trains getting into Selby at 1743 on an Off-Peak return However, the first train is currently 50 minutes late, so it is unlikely it will make up enough time to get the connection...

I appreciate that not everyone will agree with me here, but bear in mind that Heathrow is where many foreigners will arrive into the country and need to start buying tickets... I recently bought a ticket from London Underground Zones 1-6, home to York. I am aware that the Elizabeth Line to...

Apologies in advance, as I guess people have already answered many similar questions... My son is coming home the week before Christmas, and booked an advance ticket to get the 1832 York to London on Christmas Eve. Obviously that's a strike day and, pending the timetable coming out, I guess...

I have to go from Selby or York to Heathrow on the 20th, and was going to get an Open Return (to allow for plane delays, etc) but returning on the 25th, which is a planned strike day for LNER and Hull Trains. My usual plan would be to just turn up at Kings Cross and see what's running, but if...

This weekend, I have to go down to Heathrow, for which I have purchased a Super Off-Peak return from York. However, there are engineering works, which means that the York to Doncaster segment is being diverted. I live in Selby, so am getting a lift to the station. However, the 0902 from York...

I've got a couple of days spare in February, and want to do a trip that will allow me to see some stuff that I wouldn't often see in the Selby / York / Donny area, and also a bit of scenery too. What I think I would like to do, roughly, is go to Derby for a bit, Birmingham for a bit, stay in...
