Hello all, My partner and I are travelling from Victoria to Brighton on Friday 4th April, and returning on Saturday 5th. I see that all services (apart from a few late evening ones) are now operated by Gatwick Express. We each have a Disabled Persons Railcard, my partner has a Disabled...

Hello all, I bought two Off-Peak Return tickets last night from Leagrave to Blackpool North route Any Permitted with a Disabled Persons Railcard at West Hampstead (TfL Overground) station, intending to travel outward on Monday 14th. Unfortunately, I forgot to select the change date option, and...

Hello all, I'm planning to travel to France (Beaune) in May 2024. I've never travelled by train in Europe before, and would like to work out my journey without using a journey planner. Is there a French equivalent of BRTimes, or RealTime Trains? If not, how about PDFs of printed timetables...

I'm planning to travel between Luton and Gort, and see that it's impossible to complete the journey in one day in either direction, unless travelling through the night, and I really don't want to do that! I note that the ticket restriction does not allow break of journey, except for "connection...

My brother and I shall be travelling between Milton Keynes Central and Manchester Airport, off-peak, outward on 8th November and returning on the 28th. My intention is to travel in a 1st class seat as cheaply as possible, using a Disabled Persons Railcard. The FSR is £155.35, and I'm...

I occasionally use Green Line 757 from Luton to London and back. The statutory minimum is that ENCTS passes must be accepted by operators participating in the scheme between 0930 and 2300 Monday to Friday, and at anytime at weekends. Individual authorities may allow extra validity: my own...

Hello all, I was delayed on Thameslink tonight by 32 minutes outward and 15 minutes return (I suspect the latter might not qualify, as although the arrival at Luton was 15 minutes late, the subsequent departure from Luton was 14 late, and I bet they'll go by that!). Having bought a paper...

Hello all, I'll be travelling from Luton to Dean (Wilts), and wish to break my journey at Salisbury on the way out, and at Southall (via Basingstoke and Reading) on the way back. I see that the SSR with Disabled Persons Railcard is £27.70, but the SSR from Luton to Salisbury is £30.35. As the...

Dear all, My friend is travelling tomorrow on the outward portion of an SSR from Exmouth to Heathrow Rail route 00000 Any Permitted (£89.80 with Disabled Persons Railcard). I believe this is valid on the Heathrow Express from Paddington, but he is doubtful as his ticket does not specifically...

Dear all, I wish to purchase a SVR between London and Lancaster at a Ticket Office, and then upgrade to Standard Premium. The Avanti West Coast website says that I can only upgrade in advance online (or onboard if seats are available). However, if I buy the SVR online it requires me to reserve...

Good evening all, I've bought a 1st class Advance Single between London Underground Zone 1 and Exeter Central, and a Standard Day Single between Exeter Central and Exmouth for travel on the 0710 from Waterloo on Monday 14th February, and the corresponding singles back on Friday 18th, departing...

Hello all, I tried to purchase Advance singles between Luton and London (and back) on EMR trains today, for travel on 30th October, at Luton station. I was told that although there was availablity online, these tickets (specifically) cannot be sold at Luton: owing to their "cheapness" they can...

Evening all, I'm planning to travel from Luton to Winchester and back on Saturday 30th October, using EMR between Luton and St Pancras, Thameslink St Pancras to London Bridge, SouthEastern to Waterloo East, then SWR from Waterloo to Winchester, and back the same way. My intended itinerary is...

Good morning all, My friend's son is autistic (and has a Disabled Persons Railcard) and plans to travel between Cambridge and Portsmouth Harbour on 16th September, at around midday, and returning on 21st at around 1300. He is unable to cope with the underground, so I've suggested he travels via...

Hello all, I travelled this afternoon between Luton and St Albans, using my ENTCS Bus Pass to obtain a 50% reduction. On my tickets, it states "Adult Standard Class with Senior Save Railcard". I've never come across this particular railcard, and it doesn't seem to be advertised anywhere...

Does anyone know if the LT Country Bus rallies at Hitchin & Stevenage this Sunday (6th) and Sevenoaks (13th) are still going ahead? The Classic Buses Events Diary, updated yesterday, still lists the former as being provisional, and has a link to a Facebook page, but I can't access it (presumably...

Good morning all, I shall be travelling this morning between Luton and St Pancras, and wish to break my return journey this afternoon at Finsbury Park for a few hours. Owing to engineering work this weekend, there is no direct service between Luton and St Pancras, so I shall be taking the rail...

Hello all, I've looked up the Central Bedfordshire website and the NRE website, and neither mentions the class of travel. Central Bedfordshire says: A bus pass issued by Central Bedfordshire Council also allows you to rail travel for half the normal adult fare on the following rail services...

I see that both BRFares and LTFares are using the new method of calculating railcard discounted fares, as a note on the homepage of the former explains: "As of March 2021, rounding of fares after applying a railcard discount is calculated in accordance with the new Rail Settlement Plan...

Good evening all, I have not used my Oyster or Disabled Persons Railcard since March last year, and have lost them both. I have applied for a replacement railcard, and have an unregistered Oyster card that a friend gave me when he moved out of London. I no longer have an active TfL online...
