An update. This is doing my head in. I managed to get my outbound ticket but the return on 6th Sept is proving impossible. I kept my eye on the LNER website and tried every day. The return tickets appeared some days before 18 Jun, but every time I tried to buy they said that no bike spaces...

Thanks everyone for your responses, and sorry for appearing to ignore you. LNER got back to me Thank you for contacting London North Eastern Railway. In regards to your timetable enquiry, I can confirm that tickets dated 29/8 will go on sale the 11th June and tickets dated 6/9 will go on...

Hello all. I'm planning to travel London-Inverness (return) leaving late Aug, returning early Sept. I also want to get a bike reservation. As there's only one direct train a day I'm a bit paranoid about leaving it too late and missing out on a bike space. As far as I can see they aren't...

Thanks for your responses. It would seem that common sense applies, which is a bit pleasantly surprising. @Railguy1 You are right to ask. I have a 60+ Oyster card. I was wrong to call it a Freedom pass. That's something else. I've corrected my original post.

I've searched for an answer to this, and found a number of very similar discussions, but not this exact one. This weekend I was travelling from Hassocks to Honor Oak Park, changing at E Croydon. I have an Oyster 60+ Freedom Pass. What I did was buy a ticket to E Croydon from the machine at...

We travelled on the sleeper from Venice to Stuttgart two days ago (night of the 10th). An officer knocked on our cabin door to wake us up at about 0430 and asked to see our passports. This was just around the crossing from Austria to Germany near Salzburg. Both UK passport holders, fortunately...

Indeed ÖBB did send me a warning about the strikes in Italy on my Vienna-Venice journey, so top marks to them there. But the problem was I never had a reservation on my Zurich-Vienna journey so ÖBB didn't know to contact me. RailEurope sold me a ticket for that train with unreserved seating...

As the forum helped us out with a couple of questions planning our recent trip, I thought I'd let you know how it all went. Who knows, there may be something of use or interest ... We started off Eurostar St Pancras to Paris. Nothing much to note there, it was on time. Next up was a Lyria...

Thanks everyone for your useful info. My plan is not to panic and go changing things willy nilly, which was my first instinct.

Hi - one leg of our Europe tour has a bit of a problem. We're booked on the ÖBB RJ131 06:24 Vienna to Venice direct service, scheduled arrival 14:05. The booking is non refundable/transferrable. ÖBB have warned me that (via Google translate) "A strike is planned in Italy between September...

Thanks everyone. I'm leaning towards: Arr Stuttgart 08:38. Layover of 02:14 Looking at past history on zugfinder.net this doesn't look like too much of a risk. Dep Stuttgart - Paris 10:52. Arr Paris 14:13. Layover of 02:59 Leaves plenty of room for delay. We don't want a repeat of...

Thanks everyone for your feedback. Lots of food for thought. @doc7austin 10:52 was a typo. The last one is 14:52. That's the more chilled out change in Stuttgart. But the fact that there's no fallback if it doesn't run is worrying me. But as @AlbertBeale says there are indirect services if...

Planning on travelling Venice-London on Night Jet sleeper from Venice to Stuttgart then Eurostar from Paris Nord. We're planning on getting 16:12 out of Paris Nord to London, but could go later. We have two options: (A) Short changeover (33 min) in Stuttgart. Sleeper is due in 08:38; Service...

Hi, I used to do something similar. My commute is between Honor Oak Park and Three Bridges. Three or four times a week I would stay on the train and go to London Bridge. I would buy an Honor Park to London Bridge return ticket at Three Bridges. Then I realised that if I bought a season ticket...

This its my daily commmute, so I can speak with some authority on this matter. At London Bridge you will arrive on one of platforms 1-5. Go down the ramp, down one small escalator and into the tube station. Go through the Jubilee gate line (first gates on left) keep to the far left, and you...
