    London Waterloo to Reaing or beyond - Valid via Windsor Stations

    My calculation is that the shortest available route from London Waterloo to Reading is 43 miles 32 chains via Staines and Wokingham. There is a shorter route via Kensington Olympia, but no passenger trains travel by that route in the current timetable. The route from London Waterloo to Reading...

    Deterioration in R number

    The deterioration in the R number over the last 3 weeks does not fill me with confidence: BBC: Coronavirus R number 15 May 2020 5 June 2020 England NE & Yorks 0.80 0.89 Midlands 0.68 0.90 East 0.71 0.94 London 0.40 0.95 South East 0.73 0.97 South West 0.76 1.00...

    Swinton to Tamworth

    It seems to me that the Railcard £26 tickets are made up of one Advance Single in each direction, priced £11.55 in one direction and £15.05 in the other, a total of £26.60. Advance tickets must be used on the specified train(s). No. This would need a flexible ticket. The Railcard Off-Peak Return...

    Freedom of Devon and Cornwall Rover Validity

    Yes. I would travel with a printed copy of two documents: (1) The detailed validity of the Freedom of Devon and Cornwall 8-days-in-15 Rover. Here there is some bad news. The Railcard 8-in-15 price appears to have increased from £55.40 to £57.40. (2) The detailed Restrictions for Restriction...

    Northern 10p Tickets

    Last year, six of us had a day trip to Southport on the direct train from Leeds via Manchester. I would be very surprised if Southport - Manchester was not included in the offer.

    Northern 10p Tickets

    I'm surprised Class195's email mentions a start time. My email does not mention any specific time. I seem to remember that last year tickets were available not long after midnight.

    Was Bristol Parkway originally to have been named Bristol North?

    In my opinion, Steele Road had a good claim to be the most remote "Road" station. It was between Newcastleton and Riccarton Junction on the Carlisle - Galashiels - Edinburgh "Waverley Route".

    Nottingham to Tamworth (not via Birmingham)

    http://rmme.railmiles.me/ shows that this is the shortest route. It is therefore a Permitted Route.

    Do peak time restrictions apply on 24 Dec?

    It also says: I suspect, but am not certain, that the restriction will also be lifted for the 2019/2020 Christmas and New Year period.

    Holytown/Motherwell

    Yes. For routeing purposes, Motherwell Group comprises Holytown and Motherwell. See Group Stations. This means that a passenger may use any permitted route from any station in Glasgow Group to either station in Motherwell Group, followed by travel (by the route which does not pass through any...

    Anytime tickets not valid on early trains with senior railcard

    For many journeys, 20 is a considerable under-estimate. If I have counted correctly, there are 128 different fares between London and Sheffield. 96 London Terminals - Sheffield fares are listed here, with another 32 London Euston - Sheffield fares here.

    BoJ on Off Peak Day Single

    I find the unofficial site brfares.com is the easiest way to find the wording for restriction codes. In this instance, a Railcard Off-Peak Day Single Thetford - Cromer via Norwich has restriction code B4, which does not prohibit break of journey.

    TRIVIA: Pairs of stations that nobody has ever made a journey between

    It seems to me that a £5 Anytime Day Return Tyndrum Stations - Crianlarich is an appropriate ticket for a single journey between the 2 Tyndrum stations.

    Bradford to Whitby Northern only trains.

    Not just in theory, but in practise too. The reports we have had on this forum have pointed out that free Northern tickets are accepted without difficulty on this and similar journeys.

    Overnight break of journey - Restriction 9F

    I am not seeing precisely those words at nre.co.uk/9F, which we are told is the definitive source. That page shows: Is the note on break of journey in this version helpful to district?
