Going back to what is route direct I 've been thinking about it and come up with a likely explaination:- Back in BR days routes were any reasonable. On some journeys there may have been an infrequent service and one way of getting from A to B would be a circuituous route. For example in my...

They have been using the 08 from OOC to move the sleeper stock for the last two weeks. I should imagine the 57 you saw at Plymouth is there for repairs.

It does sound like the fares have increased. Advance fares are unregulated and can be withdrawn and increased by any amount. The next fares round is actually due at the beginning of september. With the long booking horizons perhaps they have just loaded the new fares onto the system...

OK can someone give the defintion of a reservable as against non reservable train. To me it is a train which a seat is reserved for you on. But some companies such as SWT no longer allow you to reserve a seat. Does that mean you can travel on any SWT train with an advance ticket. Or does...

Does the route you are taking travel from NewCross to Whitechapel. Surely as this was part of the underground before closure then NR only fares would not apply and TFL/NR fares would be the correct option ?

Maybe they could designate one of their coaches as being reservable at any time. They could then put labels on the outside warning people sitting in that coah that if they sit there someone could reserve the seat during the journey. People could then have the choice to sit there knowing that...

It wont be a free trip. You will still have to buy tickets but only standard class ones are available. And I would like to see them PF you. PF for what - a fare that does not exist !!

Yes those fare quoted are the FGW ones via Taunton. You cant use the network railcard for that route.

Yes in the days before Advantix if no first class fare was shown and first class accomodation was offered on the train you could simply add 50% to the standard class fare and that would be the first class price. It helped to keep the size of the fares manual down as you did not need to...

Because the OP says single. I agree that could be possible for a return but not for a single.

Yes but what I am getting at is that the staines ticket is all that should be offered. You would only need the any permitted ticket if you are travelling from paddington but the OP is already at waterloo so cannot be travelling from paddington

Why not write to them asking for some refund ? The Any permitted single is valid from paddington as well as waterloo. But you were already at Waterloo so Paddington clearly was not an option as underground is not included in your £22. AIUI TVM at such busy stations are only there to sell...

Arriva dont do group save As a result you cant buy group save tickets where arriva set the fare. There version is small group day which gives about 20% off the journey.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think SWT dont do seat reservations any more.

Yes this is a con on the part of the banks. They have withdrawn electron cards are replaced them with debit cards. But then if the bank dont trust the customer not to go overdrawn they put a marker on the card for no offline transactions. As all Advantix machines only work offline it means...

thats impossible. Newport (Gwent) was renamed Newport (South Wales) at least 2 years ago --- old post above --- --- new post below --- One night someone jumped on at the last minute. The train usually went Reading Newbury Taunton but due to engineering works that noght was diverted via Bristol...

I guess this would only apply if the train option existed. Penzance to the Isle of Scilly for example would not be possible by train.

If you started in May 2011 then you will not get discount on LUL. Unless you work for FCC or London Overground.

No its not. Its neither.
