Hi. Looking to travel from York to Kingston next Monday 6th Feb. The cheapest advance ticket available is £28.20 single. Travelling from Liverpool it's less than half of that. Anybody got any ideas on how to make it cheaper please? It'll be arriving into Kingston for around 5pm...

I have an interview on Friday for a Revenue Protection Inspector position. Consists of a 45 minute assessment(?) and an interview. Any ideas on what the assessment will consist of are welcome, plus any questions you think I might be asked. It's internal. Thanks.

Afternoon, I'm after a cheapish day out consisting of a train to somewhere (not fussy where) and a walk in somewhere pretty, preferably with a pub lunch en route. My only example is Cuddington, Cheshire where The White Barn is right outside the station, then it's one stop back to Delamere...

Evening Guys, Anybody know a way of getting Canterbury to Manchester cheaper than the straight-through walk up fare? Travelling Monday evening (yes, this Monday!) after 5pm and back down south late morning/early afternoon on Wednesday. With a YP railcard please. It's for a student, so...

Hideeho! Considering - in a brief but regular episode of madness - going to Crystal Palace vs Wigan Athletic in the cup next week. Living in Liverpool, I won't be getting the last train home! Anybody got any suggestions as to where to head for in Central London whilst I wait for the first...

My mind boggles even trying this one! It's purely hypothetical, but assume I'd be travelling with no more than a few days notice. I have a PRIV and a 16-25 railcard. Don't mind not taking the most direct route, but I'd need at least 3-4 hours in Weymouth. Your help, as always...

Hi, I'm travelling to London next week. I'll need to be on the 0527 from Liverpool, and I'm unsure about a return, but it may well be on the 1607 (which is peak) I have a PRIV as well as a 16-25 card. I usually use rovers and things, but due to the early depart time, I can't see any which...

Just had this land in my Junk Email folder: Dear Chris, Thank you for your application for the above position with Virgin Trains. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming response to this vacancy, we are not able to invite you to a recruitment event. On this occasion we received...

Travelling from Liverpool to Watford on Thurs 23 June and I have to be in Watford by 10am. I have free travel on London Midland services, a 16-25 railcard and a Staff Travel Card. Do your worst!

Hi, I have an interview for Senior Conductor with Cross Country. Does anybody know what the actual interview will consist of? I seem to have been ok with the practise tests they sent me.

Hello, I'm back! As always, I'm asking for help instead of giving it :P I'm trying to do Liverpool S Pway to Birmingham N St this coming Thursday, arriving into BHM around 0830 and returning anytime between 1330 and 1530. Also wondering about the cheapest way of getting to Leicester and...

Afternoon :) I've just booked a return trip to London this Sunday on WSMR. I used the option of sending my tickets to my mobile phone as the only other option was self-print, and my printer's a bit funny at the moment. Two worries: Worry The First: the bottom line of the ticket says...

In early October, I started working for a coffee shop within a large suburban train station. Today, I found out I'd been successful in becoming a station retailer with Merseyrail! I am, quite literally, over the moon. Don't suppose anybody else out there happened to get one of the other...

Hi. Got a day off tomorrow, and considering a trip on WSMR. I've done the entire route a few times, but, considering I'll save myself £39, I was thinking of jumping off at Leamington Spa, instead of staying on to London. Will I still get all of the food and drink if I board/alight at...

Evening, Is it worth applying for a job at the opposite end of the country which requires me to live within 1 hour of the location I'm applying for? I'll make it very clear that I plan to relocate, but would they just throw the form in the bin? The vacancy in question is with Cross Country...

For my birthday tomorrow, a trip lasting between 6 and 8 hours, costing ideally less than £10 and visiting stations whose first letters spell out CHRIS. Start from Liverpool Lime Street. eg: Cuddington - Helsby - Runcorn - Irlam - Stafford Good look finding other options than Irlam! A...

Evening, Travel between Warrington Bank Quay and Plymouth is valid via - amongst other places - reading, using maps MW+WE. However, looking at Avantix, the only walk up ticket which exists is "via Bristol". If I wanted to travel WBQ-BHM-RDG-PLY, how would I go about doing it?

Gents, Just dotting the Is and crossing the Ts on a new car! Thing is, it's in Peterborough. They want to charge me £184 for delivery to my home address! Obviously, it'll work out cheaper to pick it up. So my questions are these: 1. If I buy the walk up Standard Open Single at £35.30...

Hi Guys, Change of plan on Tuesday. I will now be travelling from Liverpool up to Leeds, arriving before 1pm. I'll then continue after 2:30pm on to Wigan before catching the last train of the night back to Liverpool. Any ideas on tickets please? I don't have to travel via Wigan on the...
