Does anyone know whether there are still any of these in use on the national network (or on preserved railways, for that matter), and if so where? If there aren't, does anyone know when and where the last ones were?

If you want to get to Cheltenham on a Saturday morning from anywhere east of Swindon, the earliest you can arrive using the normal route via Stroud is 10.22 (there are earlier possibilities via Bristol, hence my thread in the Fares Advice section). An earlier train leaves Swindon just 14 minutes...

If I understand the Routeing Guide correctly, an 'any permitted' ticket from Didcot to Cheltenham should be valid not only via Bristol Parkway, but also via Temple Meads -- map LG shows a route via a Bristol routeing group that includes Temple Meads and Parkway. I haven't checked for...

The other day I tried to book a journey from Reading to Stirling for a date later this week, using the Lowland sleeper for the outward journey. The ticket I wanted was the Super-off-peak return, route Any Permitted, at £145 -- I think this is the equivalent of the old Saver. However on both the...

Thankyou to Eire Sprinter for the information in the other thread about the restored connection at Rosslare -- I've booked a journey via that route for a change. Does anyone know if it's possible to book a SailRail Advance ticket on an earlier train than the latest possible one? Getting to...
