Beats me, though when I checked a day or two later the total charge for the day was showing as £8.50 as it should have been. I had a feeling that hitting the pink reader at H&I could've been the problem. All the same I think it must be a bug that causes the problem, I don't see any way that...

Hello, can anyone shed some light on this? I made a journey from Twickenham to Highbury and Islington yesterday: Twickenham to Richmond (South West Trains), Richmond to H&I (Overground). I hit the pink readers but got charged the fare through C London anyway. The picture attached shows that I...

You can certainly pick them up at any time (they may not be available for two hours after booking though). The question about where you can pick them up from gets asked from time to time and apparently you can pick them up from any station with the machines (it only asks you to confirm your...

If I have my Springer Spaniel with me I just say "search drugs girl" as I get on. Plenty of room to sit down when all the teenagers move to the next carriage :D

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm going into London today, I'll try to get to the ticket office in Euston to ask them more about tickets. I can't find any sign of any return tickets (I managed to find the ones the OP in the other thread I linked was referring to), but I thought that was a bit...

Hello, I'm considering a week travelling around the UK, taking in Dublin, Belfast and Glasgow (starting and finishing in London). Sorry to start another SailRail thread, but I find the ticket validity of these really confusing, and there seems to be a lot of conflicting info when people ask for...

Thanks, but the info on Mike's site suggests this only works if you re-enter the system elsewhere within a specific time. Not much use otherwise.

Suppose you arrive at a tube station and touch in, then quickly realise you won't be able to make the journey you hoped to, perhaps you've just missed the last train, or the line you wanted to catch is closed for engineering works. You'll need to ask a member of staff to sort out the touch-in...

Thanks, I found this article which confirms as much, but only till yesterday. Is there somewhere I could call to check about today? It's a pity he got the call a bit too late to get to Paddington for the 14.27, it's not a problem leaving later, but he'd probably prefer to get to Chippenham...

Hello, I'm trying to figure my way through the various Peak/Off-peak/Super off-peak restrictions for a train journey London - Chippenham. Can anyone help? My dad has to go to Chippenham today at short notice. He is over 60, he has a freedom pass for London, and a senior railcard. He...

Hello, Bit of a last minute query, you never know, someone might be around who could help. :) I've been asked to go to Cambridge this evening, I'd need to get home tonight. My nearest station is Bush Hill Park (a walk to Southbury is no problem). I'd like to go through Cheshunt on the way...

Thanks for your help :)

Hello, Can anybody tell me how much this extension would cost going to Hersham and back tonight? I'm travelling from Bush Hill Park, I can see an off-peak day return would be £10.70, but it would be useful to compare this with a travelcard plus extension, it's nice to have the option of...

It does seem a bit heavy-handed, sending reminders for payment while pointing out you can get your money refunded. Why can't they just reverse the credit added, with a courtesy email to explain as much? They can go through the procedure of chasing payment where a card ends up being more than a...

Virgin advances between London and Manchester on this weekend have gone on sale today. Thank again to everyone for your help.

Thanks for the info on the split, although I should be able to book a cheap advance in due course. I've just realised the problem while having an idle play with the National Rail journey that I was entering 'Manchester (all)'. This only shows up journeys from Manchester Victoria; quicker but...

You can only take them on board if you have a VAT receipt proving it's not above room temperature.

Thanks, I found this on the Virgin website Hopefully that means that worst case is a reduced service via the Wilmslow route only.

Thanks. The NR journey planner mainly suggests getting to York first then up the East Coast mainline. I've tried specifying 'via Preston' and I'm starting to get somewhere. On 13th April I see a £16.50 advance ticket, with a bus journey between Preston and Oxenholme. Is that the bus you're...

Thanks, I can see the following Tuesday has already gone on sale, but not the long weekend. I'll just have to keep checking a couple of times a day. Is there any possibility they could suddenly announce a replacement bus service? I really need to be in Manchester before midday.
