Thanks, everyone. I'll write to them, enclosing my tickets. I accept (and understand) your disbelief, but nevertheless, it doesn't alter the truth of the fact that I don't know anybody with a smartphone, apart from the neighbour who is away. My friends and acquaintances are all older than me...

I'd normally count on a very good and kind neighbour, but she's away until next week, and I'm going away from this weekend, so I won't see her until the middle of October.

Thanks, Hadders, but I don't have a printer. I need a physical form, rather than a digital one. I expect to be travelling by train this weekend, and can break journey at any Thameslink station between Luton and St Pancras in order to pick one up Thanks again: I'll phone them in the morning and...

Thanks, Hadders, but I don't have a printer. I need a physical form, rather than a digital one. I expect to be travelling by train this weekend, and can break journey at any Thameslink station between Luton and St Pancras in order to pick one up: I just need to know which station (if any) has...

I wish it were that easy! My friends all live many miles away, and I'd need to travel to see them. I could ring Thameslink customer services in the morning and find out if they'll post a paper form to me, but that's on the assumption that paper forms do still exist, which seems unlikely, going...

Hello all, I was delayed on Thameslink tonight by 32 minutes outward and 15 minutes return (I suspect the latter might not qualify, as although the arrival at Luton was 15 minutes late, the subsequent departure from Luton was 14 late, and I bet they'll go by that!). Having bought a paper...

No, not anymore.

Thank you, Yorkie! 1663664624 A last-minute change of plan—I now need to travel from Luton to Winchester, returning from Salisbury (breaking journey at Southall). Would the cheapest way be to buy an SSR to somewhere on the line between WIN and SAL, e.g. Shawford or Chandlers Ford, or to stick...

Hello all, I'll be travelling from Luton to Dean (Wilts), and wish to break my journey at Salisbury on the way out, and at Southall (via Basingstoke and Reading) on the way back. I see that the SSR with Disabled Persons Railcard is £27.70, but the SSR from Luton to Salisbury is £30.35. As the...

Indeed! My friend thought that it was only valid on TFL (Elizabeth Line) services, and had assumed that HXX services would always attract a premium fare. Many thanks for confirming my thoughts!

Dear all, My friend is travelling tomorrow on the outward portion of an SSR from Exmouth to Heathrow Rail route 00000 Any Permitted (£89.80 with Disabled Persons Railcard). I believe this is valid on the Heathrow Express from Paddington, but he is doubtful as his ticket does not specifically...

Dear all, I wish to purchase a SVR between London and Lancaster at a Ticket Office, and then upgrade to Standard Premium. The Avanti West Coast website says that I can only upgrade in advance online (or onboard if seats are available). However, if I buy the SVR online it requires me to reserve...

I enquired as you suggested, and was told that travel is now indeed permitted from Luton. So this evening I thought it would give it a go, changing from my usual route on the 321 to Bricket Wood, then the 757 from there. I took the Airparks bus from Slip End to the Airport, and boarded the 757...

As a weekly user of the 757 with an ENCTS pass, I'd like to assure you that the information you were given by Arriva staff recently is inaccurate. Having tried to use my ENCTS pass in Luton, it was rejected by the card reader, and I was refused travel unless I bought a ticket. THe driver...

The situation on Green Line 755 and 757 is that ENCTS passes are not accepted for any journey commencing in Luton, but are accepted for any journey commencing in Hertfordshire (i.e. Bricket Wood) or London (i.e. Brent Cross – Victoria) in either direction. Therefore ENCTS passes are valid for...

Good evening all, I've bought a 1st class Advance Single between London Underground Zone 1 and Exeter Central, and a Standard Day Single between Exeter Central and Exmouth for travel on the 0710 from Waterloo on Monday 14th February, and the corresponding singles back on Friday 18th, departing...

Hello all, I tried to purchase Advance singles between Luton and London (and back) on EMR trains today, for travel on 30th October, at Luton station. I was told that although there was availablity online, these tickets (specifically) cannot be sold at Luton: owing to their "cheapness" they can...

Thanks for your replies. Although the Underground will be faster, I'd rather avoid it. I have a ENTCS bus pass, so could use buses between STP and WAT, if the Super Off Peak Return is not valid via rail between STP and WAE. Of course, I'd rather travel on Advance tickets, whether between LUT and...

No, they're times that I can manage if everything is to time. I've done the walk from WAE to WAT in three minutes. As far as I know, there is an overall minimum journey time between STP and WAT, based on an underground journey. I'm basing this on using a Super Off Peak ticket (as advances aren't...

Evening all, I'm planning to travel from Luton to Winchester and back on Saturday 30th October, using EMR between Luton and St Pancras, Thameslink St Pancras to London Bridge, SouthEastern to Waterloo East, then SWR from Waterloo to Winchester, and back the same way. My intended itinerary is...
