I was looking SWT's site and noticed that the railsail tickets to the Channel isles via Poole include the taxi fare to the port: From: http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/transportlinks.aspx#66528 This made me wonder if these are the only rail tickets to include a taxi fare or if there are...

I am looking into doing a Sailrail from Winchester to Belfast via Stranraer, I phoned the rather nice people at Sailrail who confirmed that the ticket would be valid via Glasgow. Would this be valid on the sleeper upon payment of the supplement? Also am I correct in assuming that there are no...

I’ve been looking at off peak restrictions (specifically SVR from Winchester) down to Weymouth/ Dorchester to connect with trains running on the Heart of Wessex line. A SVR seems to have an exception to the 09:00 off peak start time allowing you to take any train that departs at or after...

It appears that SWT are trying to reduce the amount of hours that some ticket offices are open again. What with this 2nd attempt and the closure of praticaly all it not all the travel centers and the large increase in TVM's at stations it seems that SWT would rather run their stations wihout...

On Wednesday 27th I saw a catering trolley waiting to board the 0954 waterloo service at Winchester; I think I have seen this happen before some time ago. This strikes me odd as AFAIK there are no facilities or space for such at Winchester. Does anyone know or have an idea why this fully...

hopefully some knowlegeable person can answer this: What are the compensation arrangements for delayed trains (FGW & SWT particularly) for Rangers and Rovers? Does anyone know where you can still get a Rover on a purple ticket? As SWT seem to issue as many tickets they can on those orange...
