I need to travel from Southampton to Emsworth, then return from Portsmouth Harbour the same day. As far as I can see a Southampton - Emsworth ticket is valid for break of journey at Portsmouth Harbour - can someone please confirm? Are there any cheaper ways of doing these journeys?

Is there anywhere I could check scheduled arrivals at a specific station on a particular future date, which also lists where the trains will come from? And including all train companies. Just to be clear, I'm not looking for live arrivals, which seem easy to find.

I will be travelling from Redbridge (Hants) which is unstaffed and has no ticket buying facilities. Is it best to order the ticket online and show a printout of the order, or to simply buy the ticket after boarding the train?

A friend was travelling on an advance Fareham - Leicester single recently. Due to a delay between Fareham and Waterloo, he just missed the Leicester train at St Pancras. Although he was let on the next train for no extra charge, they said strictly speaking he should have got confirmation of...

I'm trying to book a return Fareham - Southampton online with a Southampton PlusBus, but each time I try it shows the PlusBus at normal price rather than at the £2 offer price. So far I've tried on Southern, Southeastern and Thameslink sites. Is there a trick to this that I've overlooked?

Does anyone know if there are any on-platform Oyster readers at Gatwick Airport, or are they just at the gateline?

A recent journey from Ashchurch to Chippenham on GWR was delayed by exactly 30 minutes. When I went to the GWR site to look into claiming compensation, it seems to depend on which part of the GWR network the journey was on, but it wasn't clear which part I used. Could anyone tell me - the...

I've been charged maximum tube fare incorrectly. It was on the return leg of a journey between East Croydon and Hanwell where, for some reason, my Oyster touch-in did not register at Paddington. The Tfl website says maximum fares are sometimes automatically refunded. Does anyone know how...

I am looking for a return from East Croydon to Ashchurch (for Tewkesbury), breaking the return at Chippenham. Travel out 8 Feb, return 9 Feb. Is there a ticket that would cover this please? I got very confused trying to work it out.

I often travel between East Croydon and Fareham, but recently had to make a journey from East Croydon to Cosham, two stops less via Barnham. To my surprise the fares to Cosham are higher than those to Fareham, and I wondered if anyone could explain why. Looking on brfares it seems two sets...

The onboard announcements on London Tramlink still refer to "national rail tickets with an origin or destination Tramlink" (wording may be slightly wrong). As far as I know "Tramlink" is no longer available as a National Rail destination - can anyone confirm this please?

I shall be travelling on a Saturday East Croydon - Gravesend, then returning to East Croydon from Borough Green. Could I have some suggestions about the cheapest ticket please?

I'm sure I read some time ago that the Redhill stop was to be cut from Coastway West services. Yet I've just booked a ticket from East Croydon to Portsmouth and see it's still stopping at Redhill. Did I get the whole thing wrong, or has it just not yet happened?

I'll be going to Portsmouth & Southsea on Sat 5 Sept, but may need to also travel to Fareham later in the day. If I do go to Fareham I'll return direct to East Croydon. Any suggestions as to the best ticket to get? I understand a modest saving might be made splitting at Gatwick Airport...

I also ran foul of Tfl's fares system a few weeks back. The journeys I made were as follows: 1. West Croydon (Z5) - Canada Water (Z2) (Overground) - touched pink reader at Canada Water 2. Canada Water (Z2) - Canary Wharf (Z2) (Jubilee Line) 3. Canary Wharf (Z2) - Stratford (Z3) (DLR) 4...

Can anyone please tell me if there are any on-platform Oyster / contactless validators at Barking or Upminster stations?

A friend has some of the free tickets given by South West Trains to Gold Card holders, and has proposed that I go with her on a rail trip using the tickets. As she has a bit of a history of making mistakes about tickets, I just wanted to check a few things here. 1. Is it correct that a...

I recently travelled from North Dulwich to Streatham using contactless. I exited at Streatham and touched in again 24 minutes later to continue to West Croydon. I've been charged two separate fares, though the total journey time was within the maximum (90 mins) allowed for a 3 zone journey...

Is it possible to buy a Leicester plusbus ticket online? I've already got the rail ticket to Leicester, but as it's Megabus there's no opportunity to purchase a plusbus ticket at the time of booking. I normally get the plusbus at the East Midlands Trains ticket office at St Pancras before...

This week I used an off peak single from Reading to U1 London. I always thought these tickets allowed only one journey on the underground in zone 1, but when I exited at Holborn, the barrier returned my ticket. Could I have used it for further tube journeys in zone 1?
