    Austrian Trains International Travel- Advice

    Since kicking off this thread I contacted OBB. My tickets were non refundable for the 4th and 7th of August. They took a couple of weeks to rely but have given me vouchers to the full value which are valid for 10 years

    Austrian Trains International Travel- Advice

    Yes , All a bit of a nightmare now. Sounded good at the time booking a multicity trip as a DIY but now the main reason for going is cancelled (Hungary Grand Prix) and looks like the Vienna concert may be limited. Not sure what will be available to do if we travel (Although would you want to...)...

    Future of Wrexham-Bidston line, inc. possible franchise swap etc.

    Well it needs something sorted as service is us usable in my view. My daughter lives 5 minutes from one of the stations but interchange times are shocking. I am visiting and then travelling to Birmingham for a day trip. Have to be collected at Chester as interchange times mean a 40 minute wait...

    Merseyrail Class 777 introduction updates

    The units will probably last 40 years + however as new units become more reliable it will actually be cheaper to buy more modern units earlier instead of heavy maintenance

    Preston to London

    Would this also be valid for starting at manchester when travelling to Euston, Normal open tickets are valid on the Glasgow- Manchester-London route i believe. Only small caveat is that this ticket is Avanti

    Preston to London

    I don't see any conditions. It looks the exact same as First Open Single but at a reduced cost. i am in Glasgow so unlikely to use it but I have many colleagues in Preston who are paying significant cost for a less flexible ticket without the benefits of 1st Class

    Scotrail to withdraw paper Flexipass from End of October

    I noticed that when buying a single journey ticket that it states it will take 4 hours before it will be available. Is this correct. I only travel occasionally by train and wanted to buy on way to station. No good if it takes 4 hours to appear....

    Using Scotrail Smartcard on other services

    Apologies. Colleague thought it was LNER as he had seen a note in the scot rail FAQ. This was Virgin staff at the platform for the 16:40 Virgin train

    Using Scotrail Smartcard on other services

    Strange thing is that it was not even an LNER train. The Virgin people staff the platform which typically include Virgin, Cross country and even TPE. My colleague (New member of staff in their first job after Uni) so they don't want to break rules or have to argue every day.

    Using Scotrail Smartcard on other services

    Young Colleague had a debate with Virgin staff at Gateline yesterday in Glasgow Central. They have a Monthly Season Ticket between Motherwell and Glasgow. They were advised they could not use the LNER train as they don't have machines to check. The Scotrail website states "Note: You can use...

    SPT Roundabout ticket

    It was an idea to do more but where do you stop. And I wanted to do something that is achievable in a day. My thought is the Glasgow and surrounding area version of the London Tube challenge and to see how quickly it could be done

    SPT Roundabout ticket

    Thanks and an interesting timetable you have managed to put together (Very quickly) Calling at all stations is what I would look at. Your start point is handy being at end of a line but not actually too far from me (I would probably choose Paisley or Barrhead as starting point) Can I ask did...
