Hi, I'm travelling form Hounslow to Hitchin at 5.30pm and Hitchin to Surbiton at 9.30pm. Is there a way to do this without forking out for 2 singles? I have no railcard or oyster. Thanks in advance for advice.

2024: Stuck for last two hours just south of Wakefield on 1715 [edit :1745] from Leeds. Apparently tree fell on train. Tow from Leeds back to Leeds got stuck in Wakefield. Awaiting tow from Doncaster. Could be a late night. Any ideas on getting to Ipswich tonight?

I wonder if the members might help me with some ideas for keeping the price down of a tringular trip with a gap in it that I have coming up? I have a 16-25 Railcard. The first leg is on expenses and a return ticket can be claimed for this bit. 1. Monday 23rd July. Waltham Cross to...

Can anybody help reduce the fare for this journey? I'll be travelling on Monday 12th December, needing to arrive before 2pm. Would prefer to be flexible on return time (which will be the same day), though could commit to a train leaving after 4pm if the saving was significant. I have a 16-25...

Am on the 1530 Paddington to Plymouth train (Sunday). Any particular reason it is scheduled to wait 21 minutes at Westbury? It's mildly frustrating given I'm getting off at the next stop (Castle Cary)!

I have a super-offpeak return ticket from Bath spa to Waltham Cross. I'd like to return from Castle Cary instead on an offpeak (rather than superoffpeak) train (0941 to London). Can I excess my existing ticket a) at CLC ticket office or b) on the train? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me get htis price down? I need to travel from Bristol to Blackpool (preferably North) on Tuesday May 24th. I need to be in Blackpool by 1pm, so am aiming to get the 0830 from Bristol Temple Meads, changing at Birmingham New Street and Preston. Coming back I'd prefer to have a...

Trains seem to be starting at Castle Cary on April 25 (Easter Monday) - there is a bus from Taunton to Castle Cary. However there seem to be no Advance tickets available from Castle Cary to Paddington (except for one train in the late afternoon. Is it likely that the advance tickets haven't yet...

I am delighted that for most of February and March the 2057 ex-Paddington will stop at Castle Cary and intend to be on it most weeks. Sadly it doesn't continue into April. I find it hard to believe that FGW have added this stop solely for my benefit (though I did ask them to!) - anyone know...

I was wondering if anyone knew if DfT and/or FGW had any plans in the pipeline for new timetables after the Reading remodelling (say from December 2011)? Clearly in the meantime the reduction in conflicting movements will have a beneficial effect on reliability, but will this lead to a recast of...

In a week in September (exact week to be determined) I want to leave London on a Sunday night (at 2100), get off at Bath, resume the next morning at Castle Cary and continue to Torquay. On the return journey I would like to leave on the Wednesday, break at Castle Cary overnight and continue to...

Just a quick query. If I am travelling on the return portion of a Super off peak return London - Durham with YP railcard, can I break my journey at Hitchin (i.e. get off at Peterborough and change or even Stevenage and double back)?

I'm planning on getting a Super-off peak return ticket from Waltham Cross to either Castle Cary or Bath. I have Y-P railcard. Advance tickets are not suitable because I am not sure what day my return journey will be, but I can be flexible on times. First of all, Castle Cary is often more...

I'm planning on making a return journey from London to Durham in a few weeks time (mid-July) and have a few queries about using a super off peak ticket (with a YP railcard). I don't need complete flexibility, but need some as I may delay my return by 24 hrs, hence super off peak. I will...

Waiting for a FGW London bound train at Castle Cary yesterday evening (between 2030 and 2045) I saw two SWT trains go through, one in each direction. The eastbound one was displaying "Out of Service", had no passengers and went through platform 3 (didn't see where it came from). The westbound I...

What happened this morning? Dozens of cancellations! I got on the 1110 to Chester which also had passengers from the 0910 and 1010 cancellations. This itself was terminated short at Crewe and disappeared back southwards with no passengers on (anyone know why/where?). Passengers picked up the...

My girlfriend is at Castle Cary awaiting the 0733 departure to Paddington. Journeycheck says this train is cancelled, but her departure board there says it is on time. The FGW site "Live Updates" thing suggests it will not call at Castle Cary. Doe this mean it has been cancelled or diverted, and...

I normally buy my tickets online, including for my better half who has Y/P Railcard. Never a problem. Last week I found myself with some vouchers to spend as a result of a very late train, so on my way though Paddington I stopped at the ticket office to buy her a ticket for a future journey...

Hi, I will be making this journey a few times over the next few months. I am curious as to why I can get cheap advance tickets from Waterloo to Templecombe but not from Waltham Cross to Templecombe. If I go to Castle Cary instead I can get cheap tickets that get me across London as well, but...
