    Fares offered by the forum's ticketing site: Slade Green to Oxford

    Bit of a strange one. I intend to go from Slade Green to Oxford on Saturday, with a break of journey at High Wycombe on the return. A simple off-peak day return from Slade Green to Oxford with a Network Railcard seems to be the cheapest option for this journey. It is valid by any permitted...

    Slade Green to Maidenhead Using Smartcard Ticketing

    Modertaor Note - split from: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/gwr-payg.243198/ It remains a bit of a frustration to me that one of my regular Saturday journeys (Slade Green to Maidenhead) can't be done economically other than with paper tickets. This is because TfL's contactless PAYG...

    Ticket office rail travel voucher issue

    Bit of a weird one this evening. I was on my way home and stopped at the ticket office at Farringdon to buy some tickets for tomorrow (value £14.60). I had two National Rail Travel Vouchers each for £6.83 that I got from Avanti by way of delay repay compensation, so I presented these as part...

    Splitting tickets at a London zone boundary

    Just planning a day trip to from Slade Green to Weston Super Mare and getting results from the Railforums / Trainsplit journey planner that are not quite what I expected. It suggests splitting the fare are Didcot and Swindon, which is fine, but it's how I get to Didcot that is the trouble. (The...

    Delay repay - arrival in different station

    I'm a bit unsure what I can / should put on my delay repay form after being delayed on my way to Bromley. My ticket was from Dartford to Bromley North route "not London" although my actual journey was from Slade Green to Bromley North. My planned journey was: dep Slade Green 11.56 arr...

I know London Bridge, Cannon Street, Waterloo East, Charing Cross, Blackfriars, City Thameslink and Victoria should be fine. I know St Pancras is not fine as...

    Sorry if this has been answered already but, if it has, I haven't been able to find it by searching: Is an Anytime Return from Luton Airport Parkway to Luton Airport (as shown on, for example, Trainsplit) valid on the DART? And if so, where do they get off trying to charge people £4.90 single...

    Just looking up fares for a forthcoming trip from Slade Green to Dorking, travelling on a Saturday with a Network Railcard. tickets.railforums finds both an off-peak return fare and an evening out return fare going via London Bridge and Redhill, which is fine. It also offers a journey via...

    Where to buy tickets to or from "ZONE U1234"?

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. I did a search and could only find some rather old threads recommending LU ticket offices as the best or only place to buy Zone U* LONDON tickets, but of course other than a few travel centres for tourists (which have very limited opening hours)...

    Incorrect advice on ticket retailer's website?

    I've just bought a Network Railcard and am trying to work out the cheapest fare for the following journey which I make regularly on Saturdays: Slade Green to Maidenhead (day return). Frustratingly the fares for this journey appear to be more expensive than for the same journey in the opposite...
