Hi there, I have a 7-day Travelcard for my usual commute to work from Billericay to Zone 1. I have registered an account with GA for Delay Repay to make life easier. Last night I was going to Chelmsford instead but got caught up in Greater Anglia’s delays. After an announcement at LST informed...

Hi all Looking to travel back from Brighton to Liverpool Street on 27th October, but I see that it is a rail replacement bus service to Three Bridges. Not really a problem for myself but my elderly parents wouldn't be keen on the extra time taken and busy rail replacement buses. I presume...

Hi all Last Wednesday, while staying in Edinburgh, I popped to Glasgow for a day out. Bought an Off-Peak Day Return and took the 1030 Waverley - Glasgow Queen Street. Once I was ready to return, I arrived at Glasgow Central and saw that the 1547 to North Berwick was the first service back...

Hi all Last year I had a pretty reasonable journey from King's Cross to Edinburgh for the festival, as I booked well in advance. However, it is looking a bit more last minute this year, so I was wondering if there's any way to split the journey and save a bit of money? Trainsplit didn't come up...

Hi all On Wednesday I used a Lancashire Day Ranger for a few journeys around the NW: Man Vic – Southport; Southport – Crosby; Crosby – Liverpool Central and then back to Manchester Piccadilly. Unfortunately, due to the late running of the train from Central to Liverpool South Parkway, I missed...

Hi all I'm travelling from Liverpool to Chester on Saturday. I'm staying fairly near James Street station, so I believe that that's a direct service that takes about 40 minutes. However, are there any other routes available? I'm not in a rush and I'm open to travelling around a bit more...

Hi all Last weekend I travelled from Billericay to Chafford Hundred. On seeing that c2c were operating from Stratford, I travelled from BIC to Stratford, then Stratford > Upminster and then Upminster > Chafford Hundred. The NRE app was happy to offer me this itinerary but didn't offer me...

Hi all I was recently thinking about the first long train journey I undertook, which was London Euston - Birmingham New Street - Aberystwyth back in the early 90s. Euston - Birmingham was definitely on the HST. Would I be right in thinking that Birmingham - Aberystwyth would have been a...

Hi all My friend and I are going to Oxford. We're planning to leave on 17th March and come back on the 20th. We'll be travelling separately from work and will meet up at Liverpool Street at approx 6pm on Friday night. My friend has a Gold Card, so onward travel suggestions from London...

Hi all Next week I'll be spending the day working in Ickenham. I'll be leaving BIC on the first off-peak train at 0937. I'm not sure how long I'll be there, so it is possible that I might be travelling back in the peak. I was thinking a peak travelcard (all zones) might be best, but I...

Hi there Next week I am out on a day trip to Cambridge. I'm planning on going via King's Cross as that seems to be much quicker than taking a train from Liverpool Street. National Rail Enquiries gives me a price of £26.40 for an Off-Peak Day Return, but the site also tells me that I...

Hi all I haven't used Chafford Hundred for a good few years now so any help with this question would be much appreciated. I was due to meet a friend for lunch at Lakeside but we've had a slight change of plans and we're going to eat somewhere else nearby. This is fine – I'm going to travel to...

Hi all Last Friday I travelled from London to Brighton on an Anytime Return (Any Permitted). I travelled from London Bridge on a Southern service, which was fine. However, on my return from Brighton, there were some delays due to signalling issues. On seeing everyone rush for the faster...

Hello all. In the next couple of weeks, I am planning to travel from Billericay to Brighton. It will be an off-peak journey during a weekday (most likely arriving in Brighton any time after 3pm). I was planning to travel via London Victoria as this is the quickest route, but given that there...

Hello A few times a year at the weekends I make a journey between Billericay and Purfleet. I usually buy a paper Super Off-Peak Return to Stratford and then use my Oyster card to take the Jubilee Line to West Ham and then board the c2c service there, touching out at PFL. However, the...
