Are Heathrow Express able to top up Oyster cards at Heathrow T5? I'm assuming their TVMs can't do this though? Also, does anyone know what the queues are typically like at 18:30 on a Wednesday evening? I'd rather top-up online in advance but my hotel doesn't have wi-fi.

Does anyone have the latest London-Calais fares? Last fare I was told was £25.65 with a railcard. Is this still up-to-date? Looking to travel from Cambridge to Calais, via HS1, on a Saturday. So the cheapest option appears to be: 1. CBG-1072 Super Off Peak Return £10.55 2. 1072-H426...

Does the 16-25 railcard minimum fare apply to ranger and rover tickets? I cannot find anything to say either way. BRFares.com doesn't mention anything on their rovers section.

I've come across a fare on BRFares that I can't seem to buy online, from Cambridge to ST IVES CAMB BUS. With railcard, a return is £3.55, which is considerably cheaper than paying cash on the busway. But does anyone know the routeing on this ticket? It is any permitted, with the ticket...

Another episode in "Brucey uncovers yet more failings in the Oyster system". I made a same station exit earlier today at Wood Lane (Zone 2). This was within 30 seconds, I would have expected the maximum fare to be deducted. Instead, £1.50 was taken. I'm not sure where this comes from as...

On BRFares.com, for London Terminals to Cambridge, there is a "Any Pemitted" super off-peak day return fare of £9.50 (with a young person's railcard) ticket code CBA: http://www.brfares.com/#!fares?orig=1072&dest=CBG&rlc=YNG However, booking engines only have a fare of £10.55. This is also...

West Ruislip, my local station, is a combined National Rail and London Underground station. Tickets can be purchased with origins/destinations of West Ruislip OR Zone U1256 London. The section between West Ruislip and South Ruislip is interavailable, i.e. London Underground tickets can be...

Quick question. My local station is operated by LUL but has a single Chiltern TVM which is often not working. I've noticed the LUL MFM (multi-fares machine) can issue a good selection of tickets to most destinations, as opposed to those at most tube stations. Does anyone know if off peak (and...

Today I made a journey from West Ruislip to Barking, and then return again. Both avoiding Zone 1. Copious engineering works around London today, so the route was slightly convoluted, but still reasonable and within the maximum journey time. Both journeys should cost £1.00 as I have a NR...

I was caught up in some service disruption today. My intended journey was from Zone 6 to Zone 5, via a station in Zone 2. Cost should be £1.60 (combined LU + national rail with railcard fare for Zones 2-6). On arrival at an interchange station I was sent to a Zone 1 station and therefore...

This weekend and next, the Central Line is closed Ealing Broadway/West Ruislip to White City. Does anyone know what is actually going on? I've heard a little traffic up hear near West Ruislip, but not much happening at this end. (And has anyone suggested to TfL that a little better...

This afternoon I bought a Zone U1256 to Glasgow Central advance ticket, route Virgin Trains Only on the Southern website. Collected this later on from West Ruislip. The ticket is all correct, except there is no Maltese Cross on the route (which is shown on BRFares.com). Do the LU ticket...

I (stupidly) bought a Bedhampton to London Zones 1-6 odd period ticket (1 month, 2 days) for £531.40 which starts on 12th August and ends on 13th September. Anyway, it seems I'll be moving to Zone 6 on 10th September. Ideally I'd like to get a refund and I'd PAYG into work (as I work in...

Can I have a second pair of eyes just to check something over. On a Bedhampton - London Zones 1-6 Travelcard Season, the following are permitted: 1. Travel via. Brighton and therefore end/break journey there 2. Travel on the Gatwick Express between VIC and GTW 3. Double back between...

Do any National Rail stations issue printed Oyster statements? I will need a statement of my journeys tomorrow for expenses and it has to be "official" (i.e. not a printout from the website). Do they do these at Clapham Junction, East Croydon or Wimbledon?

I need to travel from Havant to London on Sunday and then again on Monday. On Monday, I need to be there by 1pm and will leave between 5 and 6pm. I have a 16-25 railcard. The cheapest solution appears to be: Super Off Peak Day Return on Sunday £10.55, Southern Only Southern All...

So, the routeing guide tells us.... A ticket from Bedford to London Zones 1-6 (Travelcard) is valid via. Bletchley and then into Euston. A ticket from Bletchley to London Terminals or a Travelcard is NOT valid via. Bedford. However what about a ticket from Bedford to London Thameslink...

Can anyone decode the first part of this restriction code (from a Bletchley - Stourbridge Town SVR): What the heck is a "London Midland Terminal"? :roll:

In case anyone was wondering, this is how credit is deducted from your Oyster card on the Emirates Airline (attached). So it would appear the entry barriers deduct £3.20 immediately and the exit barrier deduct £0.00. This was also confirmed by the balance shown on the gate: £0.00 on the...

I was playing around with a LU machine in Zone 1 yesterday, just to see what was available on there. I noticed it was offering an "Off Peak Single" to Bletchley for £17.something. There doesn't appear to be any ticket for that price. Does anyone know what ticket type it would have sold...
