Don't know if anybody's been on board in the last few days, but the automated announcements on London Midland's Desiro's have been changed. It's now the woman who does the Merseyrail ones, and everything seems a lot more long winded and pointless. eg: Liverpool South Parkway is now 'Liverpool...

How easy is it to get hold of National Rail "T keys"? Saw someone in Liverpool today, wasn't wearing any uniform or any kind of ID, opened the crew door on a 150, then produced a T key to open the passenger doors and allow himself to board a train stabled on platform 2. I didn't think it'd...

I have 2 lots of AP tickets for a return journey from Liverpool to London on 30/12/2009. Along with travel cards, I paid £101 for the lot! I now see Virgin are offering £15 upgrades from 27th Dec - 3rd Jan so they're clearly operating a weekend service. I was aware this might happen and...

Could someone link me to the latest version of Avantix downloadable for Windows? I've reset my laptop and can't find it - I've tried searching the forums, but obviously "Avantix" brings up hundreds of results. Cheers!

OK, so I've already posted about 3/4 questions on my ALR that I'm doing in February, so I thought I'd just keep it all here :) Next question: Seat reservations - would you recommend them? How willing will a clerk be to sit there and issue you 50-odd tickets without charging you a penny? Do...

Looking for AP tickets between Liverpool and Sunderland on Sat 6/2/2010 - arriving by 2pm, returning about 5:30pm I'm aware fares are sparse for Sunderland, so I've started searching for Newcastle - then I'll just get the metro. NREs cheapest fare finder got me £11.20, but when I try to...

Anybody know the name of the soundtrack on the "Visit Scotland" advert at the moment? I had it a few years ago, but seem to have lost it. Cheers

Day trip on 22/11/2009 (Sunday) Arriving at 2pm latest. Departing 6pm earliest Looking at going as cheap as possible, but ideally not with LM (I'm aware of they're £14 ticket) Very willing to travel from surrounding stations (Chester, Warrington, Wigan, Crewe, Manchester etc) Much...

Can someone confirm for me that Liverpool SP - Wavertree Tech Pk is valid via Liverpool L St? It's the only logical way to go, but costs £2.50, instead of £3.00 for a ticket to Lime Street

I really don't do this much - but: Today I went to get a ticket for the Merseyrail Challenge on Saturday. Hence, I'm not disclosing the details of the ticket, but it was from A to B, route Any Permitted. There was also a cheaper 'Route C' option. It took 4 attempts at printing the ticket...

Can't wait! I have to win on my home turf I think! Stories to follow....
