    Confused about ticket type. Sorry if I'm missing the point

    Many thanks both MCR and Haywain. Very kind of you to help. When do the cheaper tickets vanish from the site? Is it 24 hours before travel. Or is it at midnight tonight? Thanks

    New layout National Rail Enquiries

    What do people think of the new(ish) layout on NRE? I find it less convenient. Because, if I want a return journey I am now forced to select an outward journey and then go to the next page to see the return journey. If, like today, I want to plan a period of time in a destination, say 4 hours...

    VIA Liverpool St or Tottenham Hale. And where find directions

    SORRY. One more question. When I get on the underground at St Pancras or off at Liverpool St or on the train at Liverpool St will the machines 'eat my ticket'? I ask because that once happened to me on a journey that involved the underground - a long long time ago. Thanks again for any help

    Confusing announcement about Kings X St P and ticket validity on Euston route

    Yes, thanks. You are correct we were on the Victoria line. We were anxious to get home asap and so after the announcement that we found confusing we got off at Euston. Yes, am sure you are correct we should have gone to St P first. Lesson learnt. I suppose to be fair to TFL they were...

    Confusing announcement about Kings X St P and ticket validity on Euston route

    Thanks again. Some time ago there was a conversation about what constituted a reasonable route from St P to Leicester. I think there was some talk of the difference in distance between the direct route and the Nuneaton route.

    Again out of interest, why are some operators short of traincrew? And is it mostly a shortage of drivers or guards? Thanks again
