Hi, Not a desperate query by any stretch, just a bit curious. Tomorrow I'm travelling from London to Bridlington. I'm booked on the following train: Doncaster (12:58) - Bridlington (14:50). Northern train from Sheffield to Scarborough. I just wondered if anyone knows how busy the train...

As for as Any Belgian Station to London goes I'd agree with you from experience. The fare to Any Belgian Station usually seems to be about a fiver more than just Brussels. For Any Dutch Station to London to London it's not that straightforward. To double check what I wrote before I just...

Thanks for the replies. I did a bit of further checking which did indeed confirm that the through fares offered at tgv-europe are simply an addition of the Eurostar and Intercites legs. I decided to plump for snapping up the £69 return to Paris (bird in the hand and all that). If the...

Hi, I thought I'd throw this one out here in case anyone has had a similar experience and can offer advice. I'm considering a couple of days in the French city of Clermont-Ferrand. This would be my travel itinery. Sun 9th Dec: St Pancras - Paris Gare du Nord (Eurostar) Paris Bercy -...

Thanks for the advice. In the end I worked out that with the rugby league match in Halifax kicking off at 1.30 I'd realistically be getting the 4.30 train to Liverpool, then a LM train to London arriving after midnight. I enjoy a leisurely train ride (particularly the views crossing the...

Hello, This weekend I'll be going to the North-West, travelling from London to Liverpool by London Midland to make it affordable. On Sunday 16th, I will be waking up in Wigan, I am considering going to Halifax in the morning, before heading back to Liverpool to get the train home later...

No, I definitely touched out at the Underground barriers, you have to do that to leave. When I crossed to the NR station I saw the standalone readers, then went back to check what I should do. EDIT: My card isn't registered, but I'll try to get a snap of the on-screen history when I'm next at a...

I was doing a practice booking earlier for some tickets I plan to buy tomorrow. Using Chrome I was experiencing some of the problems the OP referred to. It wouldn't let me specify me seat preferences (the select your seat part was there later but the journey I want to book is East Coast and...

Today I've made a return journey from Enfield to West Ham using Oyster pay as you go. My card has been charged a total of £10.80 for the day's activity. I'd be grateful for any help in understanding where I've been overcharged. Outward journey I touched in at Bush Hill Park, starting balance...

Hi, I'm going to York overnight from London on 19th-20th October. I already have the ticket for the outward leg (East Coast advance). Coming back I can see that Grand Central have advance tickets available at £13.60 for the 19.01 service. The time is about right, the fare great. Only...

Thanks, I just came here to ask the exact same question. The confirmation email just states "Stena Line do not issue tickets, except for rail bookings", which I suppose is technically sufficient, but it wouldn't hurt to add (for instance) "these will be posted within 2 working days". Glad...

Have a look at this map If you look at square F1, you'll see the stations "Turkey St" and "Enfield Lock". Cheshunt is 2 or 3 stops past both of these, just outside zone 6 (the lines join up just before Cheshunt). To find fares, go to http://www.nationalrail.co.uk. Start by searching for...

Thanks very much :)

Hi, asking about this one for my Dad. He travels between London and Chippenham about once a work. He already has a senior railcard, but has just received his freedom pass today. Is there any way he can use his freedom pass to reduce his fare further? Apparently it allows free travel on...

What if you lose a card before you collect the tickets, is that just tough luck? Also with print at home tickets requiring the card as ID, I was wondering the same thing. If you lose the card you booked with in the mean-time, is there nothing you can do about it?

Minfordd for the X-type. Not sure if it counts a the top platforms are for the narrow guage Porthmadog to Blaeneu Ffestiniog line.

Ooh thanks very much for that tip. So I can get a 6% discount on all train tickets, and the guarantee of a full refund on any tickets you end up not using (excluding other TOC's advances). I think I've found the way I'll be buying most of my train tickets in future. :D

I'm surprised UK National Rail doesn't have a system like this for tickets with validity of more than one day, it would be a logical way to stop people reusing the return portion of tickets when they get lucky and don't have it checked the first time the do the journey. The only good reason...

Thanks. Actually I think the tab I was using before had some trouble loading before, I can see the option now. I realise they are walk up fares anyway, but sometimes I prefer buying online the night before instead of queuing at Euston (I take it there's no 10% online booking discount that you...

I just fired off an email to London Midland about trying to buy one of their fares from their own website. Just thought I'd post it here in case this was an issue that has been picked up before, maybe I'm missing something obvious. ==================== I wish to buy the following ticket...
