Another Plus Bus related question. I'm looking to buy some advance tickets using the CrossCountry Jan25 offer. However, these are only available as an e-ticket, meaning that the system throws a wobbly and won't sell me the ticket at all when I add a PlusBus. f i just buy the train ticket am I...

Thank you, can see all the changes now. :-) I somewhat rashly tried looking in the Industrial Action section of their Website!

Where it that advertised; can't spot it on their Website

You should be fine; taken from the SWR FAQs

The curtailment of evening services is particularly annoying and is going to affect a lot of people's Christmas plans, mine included. Might just be able to catch the last trains between 22.30-23.00 after a show or concert, but aren't going to risk it with no safety net to fall back on. Last...

The near total abandonment of a clock face timetable for services on the North Downs Line, particularly in the Reading to Gatwick direction is annoying. However, I'll just about forgive this irritant as they have plugged the evening peak hour gap from Reading to Farnborough North.

Would the operators responsibilities be different if the OP had arrived by train wanting to make a connection? A good example would be Ash Station which has a minimum connection time of 5 minutes, but it would easily be possible to arrive on time from Reading, connecting to Farnham and miss the...

Only at weekends and the OP is travelling today.

The only A4 scheduled for open top this year are the 0918 Gwithian to St Ives and 1820 St Ives to Gwitian that operate in the shoulder season (i.e Tuesday 28 May 2019 to Friday 5 July 2019 inclusive and from Monday 2 September 2019) when they form/come off the shortened A2 services from Penzance.

Whilst I appreciate it is not part of the formal conditions of the ticket the SWR Website makes it very clear that the Travelcard component can be used on their services during the evening restriction period.

Heathrow Southern Railway, who are promoting one of the southern access proposals have issued a news release to coincide with the launch of the consultation urging respondents to press Heathrow to commit to a southern rail access before they introduce road pricing; carrot before the stick...

According to the SWT Website • 06:15 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo calling at Portsmouth and Southsea, Fratton, Havant, Petersfield, Haslemere, Guildford, Woking and London Waterloo • 06:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo calling at Portsmouth and...

They are operating a trial service linking the new P&R with the village and Hayle. Details below: https://sterth-pc.gov.uk/2019/06/temporary-bus-trial/

Again this could all have been foreseen and planned for much better than it has been. The drivers duties, workings etc could all have been drawn up and be ready to go when the opening date became clearer. It would even have been possible, albeit I accept carrying an inefficiency cost to...

But the opening of the new hub is hardly an unplanned event. Why couldn't the amended registrations and schedules etc. have been submitted and drawn up to be introduced when the hub opened

It can work the other way on occasions. A while back the 0959 from Farnborough to Waterloo was retimed to 1000, making Network Cards valid.

No children so Family and Friends is not an option and Two Together is unlikely to generate enough saving as only occasional travellers together. Groupsave can be an option at some times but unfortunately isn't available on anytime tickets, which was the key advantage of the Flyaway. It's...

Have just learnt that the Gatwick Flyaway ticket was quietly withdrawn by GWR in January. Means that for the 2 of us to travel to Gatwick in the peak goes up from £40 to £72, if there is more than 2 of you the cost increase is even more stark. Ah well even with parking charges the car will be...
