    SPT Roundabout ticket

    Has anyone used this ticket to visit all the stations in the Glasgow area. It is great value at £7.20 http://www.spt.co.uk/travelcards/day-tickets/ Just wondering if anyone had a route they took to travel to all the stations in a day without going outside the valid zone.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    They were quoting to people on Twitter yesterday that it was still 8th July for the Highland. Obviously they need to brief their twitter team better. https://twitter.com/CalSleeper/status/1143569523397857281

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

    I wanted to use this line last week to head south towards Shrewsbury but the first train to Wrexham was not till after 0800 This service model is hopeless and meant me driving yo Wrexham instead of a 5 minute walk. Does anyone know if there are plans to improve the timetable and start earlier...

    Gatwick Airport - Long distance semi flexible tickets

    I recall TPE had a scheme where you could catch later train if your flight was delayed. I'd there anything similar for Gatwick. My daughter and husband flying in to Gatwick early on a midweek morning and need to get up to Chester at a reasonable cost. Any thoughts?

    Caledonian Sleeper

    This has been discussed previously. It is apparently not possible to reserve a seat so just do as they say and turn up. It won't be an issue. Not all seats can be reserved as the people from this seated car have to move to the Aberdeen section and they all share one carriage

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Looks as if the first night of the new stock is not going well. And the issues seem to be either Signalling delays and for some reason long delays at Newcastle waiting on drivers- Not seen any comments relating to problems with the actual trains :-)

    Standing on long rail journeys to be banned under Virgin Trains plan for airline-style fare

    I travel often Glasgow to Euston but this would be a negative in my view. It takes away the flexibility that I use compared to flying. With planes I am very restricted to timing which means I have to plan for later flight just in case. On trains I book the one I intend to catch but am able...

    On Train WiFi

    It's not just whether it is free but how usable it is. I was on a transport for Wales service at Wrexham. It gave first 20mb then throttled back. My phone synced some mails and used that before I left the station. It was unusable after that.

    Your train journey 'fails'

    Couple of years ago I had a split ticket to get me from Watford junction to Glasgow (Watford to Crewe on Milton Keynes anytime and advance to Crewe with another to Glasgow. My colleague offered to run me to the station rather than the shuttle bus. Only problem was he dropped me at Kings Langley...
