    Hereford to Euston via Birmingham (WMT only): Query regarding advance availability and additional changes

    Just booked Hereford to Euston for 7th March, via BHM, on the Trainsplit website. Must admit was excited to get a bargain basement through Advance ticket, so it wasn't until checking the confirmation email that I noticed it has me leaving the 1136 WMR BHM-EUS train at Northampton and boarding...

    Train cancelled, going to miss connection, okay to take next connection even though booked one not cancelled?

    Just had a notification from Trainsplit that my booked through Advance ticket Hereford to Liverpool via Birmingham New Street on Mon 2nd Jan, departing Hereford 0939, is subject to a cancellation of the 0939, the earliest WMR on that date now being 1039. This means I will not make the 1134...

    Claiming for delay repay and declassification

    The very delayed GWR 1150 today from Paddington to Hereford is also short formed and declassified. The TM has made separate announcements about claiming delay repay, and that holders of 1st Class tickets can claim the difference in price from Standard Class. How does one do this?

    Claiming for future strike cancelled trains

    What's the situation if plans are cancelled or amended due to the announced strikes, but as the strikes are future dated they might not actually happen? I have re-jigged some trips to avoid Dec & Jan strike dates, and bought new tickets, so no longer need the original tickets which are for...

    Delay repay on split tickets

    If you arrive over 15 minutes late at a split point on your tickets but have recovered time by your final destination, is it ethical to claim on the ticket where the delay occurred?

    East Midlands cancellations

    A bit shocked to just find out via a related tweet to TPE that EMR are also cancelling various trains with the same "due to a short notice change to the timetable" excuse. This is worrying as I'm finally booked to do the Lime Street to Norwich and return thing in a couple of weeks, time...

    LNWR Liverpool Lime Street to Birmingham New Street December timing change

    Just looking at a journey in the week before Christmas, and the usual hourly **07 service from LIV to BHM seems to have been retimed to **33. Is this a permanent change and does anyone know the reason for it?

    Any idea re. further strikes?

    I read somewhere (probably Twitter) the other day that the next RMT ballot is on 15th November, and therefore if more strikes are planned they wouldn't be able to happen until the beginning off December due to the two weeks notice requirement. Can't find anything about ASLEF, TSSA or any other...

    Delay waiting for ambulance

    This is a new one on me - on a LNR just outside Runcorn, heading for Liverpool, and apparently there’s a passenger on an Avanti in front requiring an ambulance, so we have to wait until the passenger is put on the ambulance. Oh, we’ve just been informed that it has now arrived at Runcorn so we...

    Possible disruption 19th September?

    Is there a suitable place to ask for any info that people may find out regarding the day of the Queen’s funeral? I, like I’m sure many others, have tickets booked (not involving London) for this day, and am unsure whether it being a bank holiday will mean disruption to the regular services. If...

    Greater Anglia delay repay problems

    I'm trying to claim for a 30-60 minute delay last Monday 5th on the Greater Anglia delay repay page. However (a) it keeps defaulting to season ticket details when I am trying to claim for Advance tickets, and (b) every time I manage to get around that and submit my claim details, I get the...

    Tickets including London Underground but with no Maltese cross

    I have paper tickets that are supposed to be for Euston to Thetford, this being the start and end stations I entered on the Trainsplit booking engine. However the tickets read "London Underground Zone 1-2 to Thetford", and have no Maltese cross, despite the Trainsplit itinerary starting with...

    Getting new railcard added to Oyster at Euston

    Does anyone know if there's anywhere in Euston mainline station that I can get a recently issued replacement Senior railcard added to my Oyster? Or Euston Underground station if the main station can't do this?

    Email from Trainsplit re. cancellation but still selling same tickets

    Received email sent 06:05 this morning saying my journey on Thursday 28th July on the Elizabeth Line from Paddington to Reading departing 1559 is cancelled (tickets split at Taplow). However the exact same journey is still being sold on Trainsplit, also TPE, also checked on RTT. No engineering...

    Problems collecting tickets bought partly with TPE refund voucher code

    Wondering whether anyone else has experienced this when using the TPE WebTis site. I had a refund code for £10.15 from last November, valid for a year. Decided to use it at the weekend, bought two tickets totalling £16.50, used the voucher code and put the balance on my credit card...

    Cancelled Scotrail train, can I use later one to where I'm going but different ultimate destination?

    Have just had an email from Trainsplit (incidentally a very handy service that I don't think other ticket websites offer) informing me that our booked 1356 Scotrail from Aberdeen to Dundee next Weds 25th May is cancelled. It says we don't need to buy new tickets, but should take the next train...

    TfW Overcrowding

    Every single day there are people tweeting that they're having to stand for journeys of often several hours. Every day TfW apologise for the lack of capacity and assure us that they are using every available coach, and have new trains coming "soon". So today I was somewhat shocked to see them...

    Cancellation of second train of split ticket journey, Advance tickets

    Today I was (meant to be) travelling from Bridlington to Seamer for York, and then York to Manchester Victoria. However when I checked TPE Journey Check last night, I found that the 1045 Newcastle to Liverpool Lime Street was cancelled. This would have formed my second leg YRK-MCV at 1149 from...

    TPE Lime Street to York & back - long dwell at Manchester Victoria

    I'm sure it's totally obvious to the initiated, but could someone humour me and advise why there's a ≈15 minute wait at MCV in both directions on the Liverpool Lime Street/York services? Not sure if it's on all timings but certainly all the ones I've used over the past few months have...
