Could someone answer this query about weekday hot meals on Virgin Trains please. I know they are generally served to passengers travelling first class between 17.00 and 18.59 but I am unsure what happens on long distance journeys that start earlier. For example if I book a first advance on the...

On Friday evening unexpectedly I had to arrange a day trip from London to Cardiff for yesterday. I was surprised to see £5 single fares on the Megabus Gold service compared with £14 on their standard service. Having booked and made the trip I would recommend it to anyone especially while the...

I travelled with East Midlands Trains from Derby to London earlier this week first class for just £15 thanks to a £10 discount code they sent me. The hot meal was an extra £4.95 but what I chose was better than anything I've had on either East Coast or Virgin. A Yorkshire pudding that filled...

There seems to have been an unpublicised increase of about 20% in many advance fares to Wales and the West Country priced by First Great Western. My regular journey went up from £14.50 to £15.00 in January but is now a minimum of £19. Not happy:cry:

National Rail Journey Planner is offering me a £10 First Class Anytime Fare on the 21.14 from Birmingham New Street to Euston tonight - £6 cheaper than the advance for the same journey. The same fare is available for several journeys to Birmingham today as well. I can't use it unfortunately but...

Sorry I typed the wrong ticket title it is the East MIDLANDS Round Robin .I will be using this ticket next Wednesday starting from Sheffield travelling initially to Worksop, The ticket is valid from 08.45 but the (hourly) service departs at 08.44. Am I right in thinking I can buy the ticket at...

I travelled to Inverness on the East Coast £25 first class offer earlier in the year and would now like to sample Virgin's service. I'm looking for a low priced first advance from somewhere in the North West other than Manchester, through to Kent, ideally on a departure where I will get a...

Yesterday I travelled from Porthmadog to Kent with a friend using advance tickets. We booked separately on the same day in January and both used the same TOC website, both on the 15.58 from Porthmadog to Machynlleth, then the 18.07 from there to Birmingham. However my ticket required me to...

Reading on another thread about the Southminster branch made me realise I've yet to travel there, or on the lines to Braintree and Sudbury. I'm unaware of any ranger ticket covering the Essex branches or indeed Essex generally. If there is one, could someone give me details please ?

What is the oddest thing you have spotted from the window of a moving train in the UK ? For me it was a camel in a field. I thought I must have imagined it but a google search confirmed the sighting.

I notice that day return fares to Fishguard, Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven from my local station are the same. This made me wonder what flexibility there is on these infrequent routes. Could I for example travel to Fishguard and return from Pembroke Dock on one ticket ?

I visited Melksham today, by bus. Pleasant, quite busy town. Made me wonder. Is the railway station on a loop hence its very limited rail service. If not why do so few trains stop there ?

I travel regularly from Kent to Caerphilly. The advance fare is a reasonable £14.50 each way and even includes the HST to St Pancras. I usually book the 13.15 from London Paddington to Cardiff Central though I can get the same fare an hour earlier or later. From 9/5 -17/5 these xx.15 trains...
