    Castle Cary to Chester - Valid from St Pancras?

    Thanks for the help so far! However, when I search on the National Rail website and specify "Flitwick" as a via point, on the outward journey it allows me to go via Flitwick on one ticket - Off Peak single but for the return journey it will not let me go via Flitwick as a through journey, but...

    Castle Cary to Chester - Valid from St Pancras?

    Hi, I hold a Chester to Castle Cary off-peak return for a few weeks time, would the return portion allow me to travel from St Pancras to Flitwick so I can break my journey for a few days there and continue my journey via Bedford? Also, if I break my journey in Flitwick and then find out...

    Confusion over collecting advance tickets

    This happened to me about a month ago. I went to my local FCC station on the TL route and the ticket office staff just asked for my current bank card to check the name against the booking reference and printed the tickets for me.

    Flitwick to Milton Keynes Central 22/11/11

    Thanks for the replys so far. I dont suppose anyone knows the fares for the coach? If I remember correctly, a few years ago a through ticket to MKC with the coach included was available from Flitwick, this doesnt seem to be shown on the National Rail site so im guessing it isnt available anymore.
