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?
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

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?
An Off Peak Single at the weekend from London to Leicester is £57
Is it OK to purchase an London Midland Nuneaton to London (Super) Off Peak Return for substantially less, throw away the outward, and use the return portion to travel from London to Leicester?
Thanks
An anytime single is £9.80 (no railcards)
Yet an FCC-only ticket from Gatwick is £6.40
Will the Three Bridges ticket office sell the £6.40 ticket?
If I buy online and collect at a machine there will the barriers let me through without argument? (I can't see any BOJ restriction)
Thanks
Opt in with your amex card to spend £50 with FGW and get £10 cashback.
Presumably it is intended for FGW travel but you might still get the cashback for any £50+ tickets on their site.
Can a paper ticketholder use the middle and rear entrances of Borisbuses? The conductor guy I met at the rear entrance recently was very unkeen to let me board without a beep from the machine and tried to send me to the driver.
- The Stansted Express website is now offering tickets that they call Advance but which allow travel on any train on the day specified. This could potentially cause confusion for any passenger subsequently travelling with other TOCs!
- If you collect any Stansted Express ticket from a machine...
A friend of mine travelled from Sheffield to Brighton as folllows:
Sheffield to London on a megatrain ticket,
St Pancras to Victoria on Oyster (allowing one hour),
Victoria to Brighton on an advance ticket
The Victoria line problems the other day meant that the train to Brighton was...
The VRR transport network has an EinzelTicket costing 15.70, price level E, valid for 5 hours in one direction
Does it officially allow break of journey within those 5 hours or are you obliged to use the next available connection at each changing point?
Thank you
FB SUPER OFF-PEAK FOR FCC
brfares shows the above restriction for Super Off Peak tickets from London to Huntingdon
Does it mean that it can only be used on FCC (as opposed to East Coast / Hull Trains / Grand Central using condition 19c)?
Thanks
I'd like to travel in and around Maastricht on buses, then get a train to Eindhoven, then travel in and around Eindhoven on buses.
Is that possible with a single ranger ticket? It would be on a Saturday or Sunday.
Thanks
Apparently some ticket-selling sites allow instant TOD collection and some don't, depending on whether they are webTIS or not
Does anyone know if XC and Chiltern are webTIS?
On a very busy Jubilee line train arriving at a station where no-one usually gets off but many get on, I attempted to move towards the doors while the train was slowing down.
I was told off and that I needed to wait until the train had stopped before the person would make way for me.

Apparently cheap train travel is all about booking the day before and using thetrainline's cheap fare finder! To Harriet's credit, she does mention that East Coast is cheaper than thetrainline but doesn't make...
