After handling hundreds of tickets (generally Advances) over the years, I noticed for the first time today that there is a lower case ‘x’ immediately following the price! What does this signify?

Advance ticket Great Yarmouth to Peterborough. Booked on the 10:56 from Norwich which is cancelled, managed to make the 09:55. Will arrive at Peterborough an hour early. Have onward Advance PBO to Birmingham New Street. Am I allowed to take an earlier departure from PBO or do I have to hang...

I’m on a sparsely occupied GWR, there are only four reservations showing in my coach, and three of them line up with the panels between windows. Needless to say they are all unoccupied as nobody wants to sit next to a blank wall. Particularly puzzled by the”window“ seat reservation (the others...

Today we travelled from Bournemouth to Hereford using Advance tickets Bournemouth to Reading and Reading to Hereford, finally changing at Worcester Foregate Street. BMH-RDG on XC went fine and we caught our GWR connection at RDG, which arrived into WOF on time. That was where we discovered...

Does anyone know when we might see some Advance tickets released for after the end of December? Everyone else seems to be well into January and some to February, but there's been nothing added to LNWR's page for two or three weeks. Is there engineering work pending, or have they just not got...

Please would somebody point me to it if there is already a thread for this, sorry I've failed to find one. Just wondering where I can find full details i.e. timings, route, calling points etc., also when will tickets become available? (Could be a good one for a forum trip!)

Been trying for half an hour to look for tickets for Sunday, to avoid possible strandedisation due to the awful weather, but repeatedly getting error message as per thread title. It it a problem with my phone? Have tried the turning off and on again thing but still no joy.

Just on the 12:16 from Haymarket to Manchester, and our booked seats have been claimed by someone else, who checked their e-ticket which seems to be correct. Is this a common thing on TPE? Our tickets were booked on Trainsplit. Should have said, the overhead display hasn’t been updated from the...

Have just booked tickets to Leuchars for a day trip next week while we're staying in Arbroath. Quick question - I believe there's a bus service into St Andrews town centre from Leuchars station... does it tie in with the arrival times of the trains (from both directions?), and how much does it...

Haven't heard anything recently, Google isn't much help. Just wondering whether it's safe to start booking non-refundable hotels.

Just collected two separately booked tickets from the machine nearest the main entrance at Lime Street, by the Customer Assistance area. The first one, an Advance, didn’t even ask me to use a payment card, as soon as I clicked on Collect Tickets the page to put my collection reference appeared...

As per yesterday's issues across a lot of the network, is it fairly safe to assume that there will be blanket ticket acceptance on those trains that ARE running? I asked at Hull gateline whether I could board a TPE with a Northern Advance for a cancelled train, and was told to "ask the guard"...

Just checking a booking I have for 2nd September, and wondered why it didn't give me my usual 14:51 from WGW to SOP. It appears they have reduced the current two TPH service (albeit not ideally spaced, being ~20 minutes/~40 minutes rather than half hourly), to just one service per hour. Anyone...

I submitted two claims yesterday (day return tickets Hereford to Birmingham New Street, delays and disruption both ways). Today I've had two emails (one for each claim) bounce back asking for more information - I know we've discussed this before, as the information wasn't requested on the...

My train from Morecambe this morning was late and I missed my connection at Lancaster to Preston, now waiting for the next one. Will subsequently miss my Lime Street connection at Preston. My tickets are Advances, Morecambe to Lime Street, all on Northern so I’m not too worried about that, and...

I note tonight that Northern are no longer listing cancellations for the following day, which they have been doing until recently. I’m not optimistic enough to assume that there won’t be any cancellations tomorrow! Thought it was too good to last ☹️. It wouldn’t do for customers to be able to...

Hypothetical situation but it got me wondering - say I buy an off peak single to, for example Wigan (from Southport), and en route I find out that my reason for going is no longer required (hotel overbooked, concert cancelled or something) - could I pay the extra 10p and get my ticket excessed...

From past experience, is it likely that operators currently selling tickets for 26th August will run the scheduled services, barring emergencies, signal failures etc? I'm looking at WMR and LNR but question applies to all operators, although I believe Northern might be a law unto themselves so...

Isn’t it an industry standard that delay repay starts at 15 minutes these days? It appears XC only pays for 30 minutes and over, unless the information I’m looking at is out of date?

If you forget to look at Journey Check the night before, and it turns out on the day that your booked train is cancelled, how do you know whether it was P-coded? Is it worth just claiming anyway and see what they say? This is Avanti, the passenger concerned is having to take the next one an...
