Tomorrow, Thursday 10th October, I have a hospital appointment at Southmead hospital in Bristol. It will finish at about 4.30 pm. Depending on when it finishes I many not be able to get a convenient (in time) bus to Bristol Parkway but I may be able to get a bus that takes me close to Filton...

Thanks Paul. Was kind of you to provide the bus information. Plus I hadn't realised the train station is at the South Terminal. Best wishes

Thanks paul1609. I much prefer trains to buses. Also for some inexplicable reason I don't see that price. I land at Gatwick north. And Gat N to Leic comes up at £18.20 on the 03:50 departure. 1727439063 Strange. Just checked again and the 03:35 from Gat South is much cheaper???

Sorry everyone. My title wasn't clear enough. I was trying to ask if it was normal to have to stand and why.

Many thanks for all of your replies. In conclusion is it correct that: 1. I can get a train from Gatwick airport to London St Pancras and pay with my oyster card. I must tap in at Gatwick airport before 6.30. This will cost me £10 minus my railcard being linked to my oyster card is that correct...

Many thanks for all of your replies. Very interesting. I was going to write to my MP but I don't suppose it will have any immediate impact on the situation. Kind regards

Many thanks 43066 and JonathanH very kind of you to be so helpful. I am slightly confused about a couple of things. 1 presumably? when you say Gatwick you mean Gatwick airport 2 would the 2.46 and the 3.46 from Gatwick airport to STP both be 'off peak'? 3 is there any advantage in using...

Can anyone please help with a complicated journey. I land at Gatwick at about 1am on Monday 4th November and need to then travel to Leicester. The first train listed is a Thameslink to St Pancras and then an EMR to Leicester. But it's rather expensive. Can I use my oyster card for part of the...

Last week I travelled on this route and there was only a two carriage train which was completely full and had standing room only, which was also very full. Is there a reason why they don't run longer trains? Thanks for any information.

Many thanks Watershed. Very kind of you. I've just this instant done a seatfrog upgrade to first for my outward journey tomorrow from Leicester to London St P. Cost a total of £15 including the seatfrog fee. It gives me a seat number but not a carriage number. Does anyone know if that's normal...

Many thanks for your fulsome and informative reply. Kind regards

Many thanks both. The reason I asked is that some time ago I had one of the EMR First Class Super Off Peak Return and I was refused travel on a train from Euston even though there was a problem with the St P to Leicester route. I asked about this today because I was wondering if there would be...

Good morning. Can anyone please help with a permitted route problem. I am going from Leicester to London St Pancras on Thursday 19th. I am returning from London to Leicester on Saturday 21st. I would normally buy a super off peak return. BUT national rail is showing a return journey from...

Many thanks Signed and Watershed very interesting. I'd never thought of it like that. Again, as always on this forum, genuinely useful information! Thank you again and best wishes

Many thanks. And yes I got it wrong about the times. So sorry! But genuinely appreciate all the help it's very kind of you all. Finally, I don't know what walk-up tickets are? Very best wishes and again thanks for all of the help

Many thanks. Very helpful Watershed 1723564470 Strange result??? In the end I went to the ticket office in Leicester. And got a return from Leicester to Bristol TM for £45.90 departing at 08:50 Which is less than expected? I asked for return tickets that are flexible and was sold that. BUT...

Many thanks Watershed. One more question. I once bought a 'split ticket' from Leicester to Cromer. Splitting at I think Peterborough or Ely. But the return journey was delayed. However, I was unable to claim a partial refund for the whole of my return journey. Because I'd bought split tickets...

Hello Haywain. I did look at the 'tickets' section here on rukf. but i thought the cheaper tickets were fixed times. i want flexibility on the return journey. not so important on the out journey. thanks for your reply

MCR how do you find the day return fares? I tried to find the BHM to Chelt and couldn't find it. Alistair yes. but i was just comparing prices. it's a matter of the cheapest and then i realise i get a third off. thanks for reply

Many thanks MCR. Yes it is a day return trip. I was slightly hoping to get to Bristol before 11.21. Maybe 10 ish. But that route you suggest is a good price. Thanks again
