It seems that planes and coaches were running normally, but trains weren't. Apparently there was also a separate incident involving a fire alarm earlier in the afternoon. By the way is it delay repay-eligible?

Hi, I am thinking of catching this service but don't want to commit. I note that: The East Coast trains seem slower on Sun morning than normal There are no Midland Mainline services from St Pancras Advance ticket availability still seems OK on the 0845 Is there any chance that...

All this talk about 19c and season tickets is fair enough but no-one has mentioned that a straightforward flexible ticket didn't cost that much more, at £84.20. That price is shown in Stefan's screenshot. It's gonna be an expensive day out if Stefan gets lost in Carlisle Castle and misses the...

Hi, If I want the 3 hour flexibility on an Advance from Manchester Airport, am I obliged to buy from TPE or can I buy the same ticket from a different TOC (at a station or online)?? Many thanks

Does this mean that Super Off Peak and Off Peak tickets are valid at any time of the day provided you are on the right route? What about the use of Railcards that have a time restriction?

Thanks for your answers. I'd like to know for sure especially as arriving at the airport I might want to buy the 28,50 ticket on the bus. Is there a German equivalent of railuk?!

Is there any reason not to use the card you would have used in the ATM, to buy a ticket from the guard on the day? Or have I missed something

The SchoenerTagTicket at €28.50 is supposed to include all buses and trains in North Rhine-Westphalia. Does anyone know if it includes the Muenster airport bus (from Muenster Hbf)? Thanks

I agree that it's classed as a peak service by Virgin, the majority of guards and the majority of passengers. However from reading this forum I was under the impression that it is inaccurate to think of any train or service in this way.

Perhaps not Or maybe yes

Same here, although I thought it was 15 minutes. Example - travelling on a weekend afternoon from Birmingham to Derby: - £8.30 advance m-ticket bought shortly before - Walk-up ticket from the ticket machine at £15.90

I was under the impression there are no peak trains, only tickets which have peak restrictions on them. Is there an Off Peak ticket valid on this service?

Thank you for your replies. London Midland is OK for me however BOJ is forbidden on that cheap ticket. I would also not be confident of getting that excess for the return journey.. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I will look into it! Thank you

I'd like to travel on a walk-up flexible ticket on a Sat to Birmingham, breaking journey, then to Sheffield. And then return on the next day on a more direct route either on MML or EC. Is there a ticket (eg using different stations) which officially lets me do this? I reckon I could almost get...

Should it be taken from the above that there is no agreement in place for other TOCs eg East Coast to accept passengers holding Midland Mainline-routed tickets to London?

I want to make the same journey again but am in fear of meeting the same guard, who I suspect would be less willing to "let me off" again. What's worse I wouldn't put it past him to ask to see my tickets if he sees me on the platform at Leicester on the late return journey, and not let me board...

I was able to just walk through an open gate :)

Thank you. Splitting at Kettering is indeed cheaper. This is a good example of a journey that just would have been unrealistically expensive without splitting. - Price with splits: £37.50 (plus cost of Travelcard + Network Railcard) - Walk-up price from TVM: £149.50 Saving that much...

Please can you check this journey, travelling weekday around 1700 from St Pancras to Leicester on a fast train, and returning same day. Network R/C and weekly Oyster zones 1-3 travelcard held. Off peak day return Hendon to Bedford £13 Off peak day return Bedford to Market H, £18 Off peak day...

Many people try to cross the road from Kings Cross to the Eurostar entrance of St Pancras. However with the taxis and other traffic this is more difficult and dangerous than it needs to be. Why is there no proper crossing here?
