I was at Villa Park for an FA cup semifinal sometimes in the mid 80s (vague due to old age fuddyduddyism) and needed to get back to home in Preston and was pleasantly surprised to find an 86 with a/c mk2s rolling in to Witton for New Street, it turned out to be an extension of the 18 something...

Note that the Stevenage to London Bridge leg appears to be a counted place reservation so the train specified must be taken (along with that from Grantham to Stevenage obviously).

Or, especially, Frank.

This I agree with. Unfortunately, I have a reasonably significant sum on perks so may have to put up with the sub par offering at least one more time.

Not much cleaning at that speed!

Time for a career change!

In my case it is somewhat frustrating that I can't get an online planner to sell a ticket out Saturday back Sunday because there are no services down here on a Sunday but stopping short on the return occasionally means a cheaper ticket than two singles and works as the 'short' station is only 4...

Thank you.

Perhaps they should be renamed.

Ignoramus question here, what is the difference between the district line and the Swansea avoider line?

As it's an LNWR fare I assume it's an outboundary travel card from somewhere further afield. In which case just use the return portion to alight at Bushey or Watford.

Or Wigan and Penrith. Or Warrington and Penrith. However, I doubt that these would ever result in any savings.

No problem there.

Yes, it would.

There appear to be advances available from the 1557 departure onwards. It is, I feel, unlikely though that advances are sold out on all earlier services so something else must be going on. PS Wednesday is the 24th.

Just to let you know, I've switched to the forum site for all long distance journeys to Scotland as I've given up on Avanti recording journeys correctly for Club Avanti. This is in addition to my existing use for local journeys. So there you go!
