    OK this might sound crazy but I fancy a change of scenery from the usual journey. This week I will be going to Wolverhampton again, but this time I am thinking of going via Manchester and missing out the dreaded New Street Station. I will be going on Tuesday about 11am but not arriving back...

    Derbyshire Wayfarer Query

    I'm travelling to Wolverhampton next week with a friend and have been looking at how I could save a bit of money apart from buying split tickets which I already know, thanks to the help on this forum.

    Which way is 1B52 2330 Manchester Airport to Sheffield going?

    I've just been looking at the last train to Sheffield from Manchester Piccadilly and found something rather odd. The train is a FTPE with its only calling point as Sheffield but it's going to take over an hour and half. Which magical mystery tour is it going on?

    Sheffield to Durham 25/11/2014

    I am travelling (or as it stands I am) to Durham from Sheffield on 25th needing to be in Durham for 1pm or just after. I have looked at trainscanbecheaper.info and it has given me some splits via Yarm, but that seems stupid as (well as far as my geography can work out) I would be going back...

    South Pennines Day Ranger Ticket

    Got a bit of a query on this rover ticket....and the search option on here doesn't really help as it has left me with more questions than answers.

    Good news about Northern for a change

    Well as of March/April of this year I have locked horns with Northern for something that should never have happened. In December 2013 I received a letter from Northern that I had travelled on a train without a valid ticket. Anyway a few calls and emails followed then I received a letter in...

    Question re collecting tickets

    It's not really a ticketing question more of a query on the policy of the situation. One of the regulars in the pub that I go to had a phone call from his daughter yesterday saying that she'd lost her train ticket and couldn't get home. She'd no cash on her and no bank card, so money wasn't...

    One of the things I love about this site is how other people can save you money on train fare, but this one has me stumped. I'm looking for a Leeds to Sunderland return bought on the day. Not sure when the return is yet so that rules out advance tickets, but every option I can think of appears...
