    Additional tickets to supplement a work journey

    An off-peak return from York to Middlesbrough saves a few pounds. A super off-peak single from Leeds to kings cross is valid via York with break of journey permitted you see.

    Cross Country Trains produce a useful PRINTED Timetable booklet again.

    Forgetting, for the moment, the cackhanded time restrictions on the all line rover the reason that I haven't had one for aeons is the lack of a printed timetable. I have to admit that it also prevents proper examination of viable itineraries for my more regular journeys too.

    Split ticketing non stop with two rovers

    Unless the specific conditions of either of the rovers/rangers prohibit this then this is fine. Please check those conditions.

    Cross Country Trains produce a useful PRINTED Timetable booklet again.

    Of course, back in the day, I'd get, initially, the separate regions timetables and, latterly, the national one. Once the most relevant tables had been identified it was not difficult to memorise times, stops and catering facilities. I even had names for the latter, 'cups of tea' and 'griddle'...

    Juliano's World Frenzy/Tech's Trip Reports

    You know, this is a darn good read, I thank you for that but I don't thank you for awakening the urge to do mucho exploring around my old haunts. My legs won't thank you! but my mind will

    Avanti West Coast - compliments

    Bucking the trend I feel that it's time to expound on my experiences over the past couple of years. August 2021 Euston to Glasgow (7 of us) 1st advance. Booked when half the seats were blocked due to the great unmentionable. Before travel I noticed that all seats became reservable and used...

    LNER delay repay for split journey (one leg e-ticket, one leg paper)

    Okeydokey, I did think of doing that but was put off by the requirement to send only an electronic copy of etickets rather than a photo.

    LNER delay repay for split journey (one leg e-ticket, one leg paper)

    Sorry to drag a thread up from the depths but may I ask how does one submit a delay repay claim to LNER when the journey involved a combination of paper and e tickets as I was caught up in todays horrors near York? The website only allows the upload of one image per claim you see. Thanks in advance

    TPE franchise to move to OLR

    I am but a simple passenger, sorry, customer. If it turns out that only half of current services end up in some sort of emergency timetable but they are pretty much guaranteed to run then that'll do for me; anything that gives more certainty and fewer sleepless nights please.

    Comedic "things you would ban": minor things that irritate you

    A spoon will obviate the trip to A & E. 1683764098 Anyone that doesn't understand, or wilfully ignores, roundabout lane discipline.

    Train ticket price is this vaild

    It's an itinerary that is easily reproducible so I'd say entirely valid. Using the forum's booking site gives a single fare of £12.50 btw.

    GC incident at Peterborough (04/05)

    The reported times from Stoke through to Werrington would seem to indicate that it remained on the fast.

    Elizabeth Line - Paddington to Anglia

    My understanding is that London Terminals to the east is valid only from Liverpool Street.

    Silly question: Reverse Formation

    Showing my age, it was a VC10 that I flew in (XV109 Arthur Scarf VC) in the mid 70s mostly standing in the flight deck during repeated touch and goes at Brize Norton on a sortie from Lyneham. Happy days.

    Silly question: Reverse Formation

    Without wishing to preempt any reply one reason that it is a lot safer in the event of mishap. It used to be the case (not sure that it still is) that RAF transport aircraft had all their passenger seats facing backwards for that reason.

    Marston Vale line suspension over - FULL services start running 19/02/24

    Meanwhile I look down at the station at the end of my road and struggle to remember what a train looks like.
