I'm looking at advance tickets from Ely to "somewhere in Cornwall" - for the sake of argument and simplicity lets say Penzance, but the problem I'm about to describe occurs with multiple different destinations, so is not Penzance-specific. These are for a Saturday "sometime in August" - again...

I have just renewed an annual season ticket between Ely and Cambridge, using a "special" web link on the Great Northern website which applies a 10% discount to the standard price, as part of an employee travel for work discount scheme. The terms of this scheme clearly state that any annual...

Is an Annual Gold Card valid for getting a discount on Cambridge to Ely fares when using CrossCountry? National Rail Enquiries suggests that I don't get a discounted fare on this route when using CrossCountry services, but I do get the discount for other operators. I initially wondered if...

I'm looking at times from Kew Bridge to Waterloo for a journey a week on Saturday (25th March) between at approximately 4-6pm. According to National Rail Enquiries, trains are half-hourly at xx16 and xx46. According to the TfL journey planner, trains are half-hourly at xx26 and xx56. I...

I've already gathered, from searching the forum, that: 1) With a zones 1-6 travelcard, and BZ6 to "somewhere" ticket, I can pick any origin station within the zones that is along my journey in order to determine valid routeing of the BZ6 ticket 2) The train doesn't need to call at the boundary...

I wish to travel from Cambridge (CBG) to Sole Street (SOR) this Saturday, leaving ASAP after 8am, and returning at an unknown time later the same day. The journey planners offer me a journey involving a tube connection from Kings Cross to Victoria and then a slow stopping train to SOR...

Yesterday I travelled on the 1055 stopping service from Cambridge to Kings Cross (not all the way to Kings Cross!). Despite the train being ready to leave on time, we were held in Cambridge and left about 10 minutes late. This was because an incoming service from Kings Lynn, which then joins to...

An off-peak day return from Ely to Kings Cross has no evening peak restrictions for the return journey as far as I can tell, from reading both http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=ELY&dest=KGX&grpd=1072&tkt=CDR and http://www.thameslinkrailway.com/tickets-and-fares/off-peak/. However all...

I've been watching particular trains on RealTimeTrains all of this week, specifically those leaving Cambridge just after 7:00am. Whilst doing this, I've noticed that the 0652 train to Kings Lynn (which starts from Kings Cross at 0543) has been shown as "not stopping" at Cambridge every day this...

I'd like to travel from Cambridge (CBG) to Bletchley (BLY), departing CBG roughly between 15:30 and 16:00, and returning late in the evening. On the return leg, I'll be breaking my journey in London and doing a couple of additional tube journeys in central London before continuing to CBG. I'm...

This Saturday I wish to make a three-legged journey, firstly from Cambridge to Reading (CBG-RDG), then from Reading to Henley-on-Thames (RDG-HOT), and then Henley-on-Thames back to Cambridge (HOT-CBG). Afer playing around a bit with National Rail Enquiries, I saw that London Terminals to HOT...

This weekend I'm planning a day trip to the South Downs, travelling out from Cambridge to Winchester early on Saturday morning, and returning later that evening from Petersfield to Cambridge. Are there any useful tips that I should consider when buying tickets for this type of journey...

I normally purchase monthly Anglia Plus zonal season tickets, for travel in two of the three Anglia zones (Cambridge and Norfolk), costing £323.60, which I use to commute between Cambridge and Norwich. My ticket expired at the end of last week, and this morning I called into Cambridge station to...

I have a sudden need to make a day return from Cambridge to Manchester on Sunday (4th Jan), arriving in Manchester before 1pm, and ideally with flexibility on the return time (though I would commit to a specific train departing any time after 5:30pm if there was a significant saving to be had...

At some point over the Christmas holiday I need to make a day return journey from Cambridge to Carshalton Beeches. The obvious ticket to make this journey is the off-peak day return in the week (£17.80), or super off-peak day return at weekends (£11.90), assuming off-peak travel, a network...

On 27th December I will be flying in to Liverpool Airport, and wish to then travel to Sheffield. I had thought that the ideal ticket for this journey would be the "Airport Advance" from Liverpool Airport Bus to Sheffield, which is booked train only as per normal advances, unless the flight is...

I'm planning a weekend away walking between Canterbury and Dover at some point in August, and am therefore looking for a ticket that lets me travel out from Cambridge (CBG) to Canterbury (CBW) on a Saturday, and return from Dover (DVP) to CBG on Sunday. I would prefer to travel via Kings Cross...

Tomorrow I wish to travel, with a friend, from Cambridge to Downham Market. My friend has a Network Railcard, which I know entitles us both to use discounted tickets as long as we travel together. I have a season ticket which covers me between Cambridge and Ely (as well as other places not...

Some time ago I submitted a delay repay claim to SouthEastern for a journey from Maidstone Barracks to Grove Park, via Strood, made on Saturday April 12th. I had to chase up SouthEastern in order to get any response (hence why this is so far in the past!) but they've now eventually replied...

This weekend I need to travel from Cambridge to Cuxton on Saturday morning, and then return from Lenham to Cambridge on Sunday evening. My initial plan for this was to buy a Cambridge to Cuxton return (£22.70 with Network Railcard), which would allow outward travel on HS1, and intuitively to...
