Forgive the terminology, but I always find this view a bit of a 'railgasm' moment! Photo courtesy of the DB Facebook page. The copyright is at the bottom right. Hope I'm not breaking any laws by posting it here. What do we all think? Pretty stunning photo!

Was travelling to Liverpool earlier, and noticed a visible incline at Edge Hill station on the line as it drops into the tunnels before Lime Street. It's not only rare that you notice an incline so steep you can see it, but to see the platform sloping too was quite bizarre. I don't have...

Hi all, Currently living in Ormskirk, but need to come back to York next weekend, but also visit Doncaster for a couple of nights. As I need to be in York on Friday and Monday, it makes sense for me to use that as my ticket destination, and just get an open return to Doncaster to use...

Hi all, Planning a future visit (December, so too early for advance fares), and notice that a single with my 16-25 railcard is £42.65, making the fare without one £64.60! This is via Preston and Carlisle. I'm used to travelling around the north of England and have got used to it being...

Hi all, I have a meeting at Edge Hill University next Friday, and have only been told about it today. I have a 16-25 railcard and live in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire. I also own a Conisbrough - York monthly season pass, but that route doesn't look any cheaper, in fact more expensive...

Hi all, We're going to Scarborough from Conisbrough (or Doncaster) next Tuesday 5th June, and are returning on the Wednesday. What's the cheapest way to do this please, either through advance tickets (unlikely now) or through split ticketing. Just to point out, I have a Conisbrough-York...

Hi all, At short notice, I need to go to Oxford on Monday - to arrive before 1pm and to leave after 4:30pm. I have a railcard (16-25), but I also have a Conisbrough to York season ticket, and live in Conisbrough - so this may be a cheaper option. A full price ticket on the day will be...

Hopefully the title of this thread will provoke some responses! Here's the situation: I have a Doncaster to York season ticket (monthly), which says "Any Route Permitted" on it. Today - I needed to get from York to Meadowhall. There were no East Coast services to Doncaster for...

Further to my last post regarding arriving back in the UK at Stansted and booking advanced tickets - I decided to play it safe and booked the first part of my return journey home to Doncaster. I leave Stansted at 18:25 and arrive at Peterborough at 19:10. Great - thinks I. Now all I need to...

Hi all, Many apologies if this has been asked before. I am flying back to Stansted in November with a scheduled arrival time of 15:55. I have a choice of an Advance ticket back to Doncaster departing at either 17:25 or 18:25. My first question is - which of those would you go for if...

Hi all, Would really appreciate it if some of you could answer the following 2-question survey after watching a short YouTube clip (30 seconds from 3:30 - 4:00). It's part of some research for my nex Masters assignment. Link to survey and video clip: HERE Many thanks!

Hi all, Could you let me know the cheapest way to get to Oxford on Wednesday 31st August from Doncaster please? I need a day return - arriving at Oxford no later than 12, and leaving any time after 4:30. I have a 16-25 railcard. I've looked at Cross County and they're quoting around...

Hi all, Does anyone know if advance tickets (1st class preferable) are available from Doncaster to York? Tried looking on East Coast but no luck. Dates are Sat 25 June before 10am and returning Sunday 26 June after 1pm. Thanks!

I am making a trip from Doncaster to Darlington tomorrow. I have a monthly season ticket from Doncaster to York. I also have a 16-25 railcard. By law, should I buy a York-Darlington return ticket at Doncaster? If I don't, is the conductor within rights to refuse me use of my railcard if I...

Forgive me if this comes across as a bit of a rant, but I'll do my best to keep my hat on! I live in Doncaster and commute to York five days a week for work, but I also make the journey on odd weekends for personal visits. The cost of said monthly pass is £172.10 - which for the record I...

Bit of a vague title, but with the exception of the XC routes from Scotland to Penzance (and possibly some long ones on the WCML too), what is the longest single journey you can do on a train in this country? I'd be interested to hear in local stopping services too. The best I can find at the...

Hi all, Short notice I know, but can anyone find me a deal cheaper than the standard £32ish for a 16-25 railcard day return from Doncaster to Telford on Saturday? I need to be in Telford by 12:30 and leave after 17:30. Many thanks if you can help (split tickets / singles etc...)

Hi all, On 31 May, I want to travel from Doncaster to St Bees (single). A standard 16-25 single is around the £32 mark, so I've looked at splitting. Here's what I've got so far: Doncaster - Manchester Picc = £4.60 Manchester Picc - Barrow = £4.60 Barrow to St. Bees = £6.55...
