    Special Offers Discussion

    Just spotted Cross Country on SEATFROG! For York to Newcastle, from £6. I then tried Manchester to stoke and this wasn't on. A shame when the virgin seatfrog upgrade is £12 between these!

    Delay repay on a Northern complimentary ticket

    i used a single ticket for any northern journey gained from a previous delay relay. Train arrived 15-29 mins late. Will this garner me anything such as another single northern ticket? Normally they will not pay out a single ticket for a delay between 15-29 mins, only 30 And over. Thanks

    Oyster payg railcard

    So will it be £1.85 (zone 1-5 price) added to the £4.60? If i tapped out at zone 2, then in at zone 2 and went to zone 5 i would only be charged £1 more as any 2-6 journey is only £1, off peak?

    West Coast Franchise speculation

    Surprised no one has ,mentioned the lack of plug/USB sockets on 390s. Why haven't these been retrofitted, like the tpe 185s? I think it's terrible that such a basic need in this era still hasn't Been addressed. Does anyone else find the interiors really hot and stuffy 95% of the time? I've...

I'll have to resort to bussing it to the nearest zone 2 tube / train station to where I am in zone 5 then, bit of a trek but worth it to save £3.05 when not in a...

    Overcharged with oyster?

    On Sunday, With a 16-25 railcard attached, all journeys in zone 1 and 2 except for one tube journey from zone 5 to zone 1, the total for the day was £7.65. How can this be right, when the cap for z1-2 is £4.60 and the z5-1 single journey is only £2.05 on its own? What should the total have been...

    Railway Pubs

    I wish fuller's would hurry up with the never ending development at Euston of the signal box, should have opened years ago! Anyone know what the heck is going on? The Ssp pub up there, the Shakespeare closed years ago. Also I wonder if Doric arch will close if/when signal box ever opens?
