maybe more contactless payment cards machines should be introduced, I think one in each station/ exit is enough and that saves time, paper and money.

However, more passengers can bring some potential benefits such as advertisement in trains or stations, more business to the station cafes or shops, less CO2 emission, less traffic conjestion, lesson toxic emission etc etc --- old post above --- --- new post below --- And what is the point of...

It is said that the rail tickets in 2013 would be 4.2% more expensive than 2012 averagely while the petrol price just saw a drop from 137.9 ppl to 131ppl. Unless travelling to London , why should people use train services? Let's compared the public transport ( trains) and cars (for adults...

The Reading - Heathrow T5 was in BAA's Heathrow Airtrack proposal. Also it doesn't only benefit the passengers from Reading but stations between REading and Staines. If like you said there will be another link from GWML then a direct service can move to between Guildford and T5 via Virginia...

I am quite interested in Heathrow Airtrack as I live nearby and it would be a great convenience to have such a service. However, it was taken out from the project with various dilemmas. Here I would like to make a few points and my thoughts on this airlink and the local train services. My...

Maybe one of the realistic solution is to improve the occupation of the trains at off peak hours as trains don't make money if they let seats empty. However, with such expensive train tickets, it scares commuters off from train services especially those who live in the suburbs and don't need to...

I am planning to travel from Bridgend to Heathrow central rail station on 16th August and I found the cheapest train for £22 which departs at 12:00 via Reading, Hayes & Harlington. However, for the same date and trains, if I split the purchase into two : Bridgend to Hayes & Harlington for £12...

is this a new rule for the network railcard? This wasn't a minimum fare at weekends and public holidays at all last year. I used to buy £1.9 tickets with my network railcard.

But the minimum fare of £13 is not applicable on weekends or public holidays.

I should have make it clear. I just tried southwest trains again and it's available now without using the network railcard. I wonder is it true that the network railcard is not applicable on the within Zone tickets?

Sorry, I do mean off peak. Yes, that's what I was looking for but I can't work out why this ticket wasn't available in other websites especially the southwest trains? Can I just buy it in the ticket machine while I am not in feltham?

I just tried to purchase a London 1-6 day travelcard from Feltham online( I have tried both southwest train and virgin trains websites), can't buy the super off peak day travelcard for tomorrow(sunday) just because the option for outward trip can't be clicked. Do anyone know the reason for this?

Having been overseas for a month, just came back and checked the train price from Staines to London, let's say a Saturday super off peak London 1-6travel card with Network railcard, it went up from £8.00 to £8.45. I have lived in St Albans and it's similar distance to London as the one between...

Yes, I just found that it's for the 10 cars operation for the Widsor route. The airtrack project would build a new station at Staines called Staines high street. However this planned had been abandoned.

Could be. But it also looks like new tracks are being built the other side of the platform.

Does anyone know what the third platform under construction in Staines station is for? Will Staines become a terminal station for any route?

why at Clapham Junction?

From Staines station an off peak day return ticket to Brighton costs £24.20, a month off peak return ticket costs £30.30. There is no cheaper advance tickets available whereas from some further stations, for example Bath Spa to Brighton each journey could be as £13 or £15. Why? By the way...

The day return tickets are generally much cheaper than two single tickets, however if one has to return the next day or a few days after, he / she has to buy two singles. Why not selling 2 day or week return tickets for the convenience of people who need to stay over in London?

About ticketing, I like the Southwest train's supper off peak ticket for travelling to London after 1130 at weekdays and weekends. Whereas it seems that FCC only provide this type of ticket at weekends. For trains I prefer Southwest train, it looks newer, more advance (with air conditioners)...
