I bought an Advance ticket through Virgin Trains that I can't use, and am not sure which date I will eventually want to use the ticket. If I pay the £10 admin fee, can I change it to a cheaper journey and get a refund of the fare difference (which is more than £10)?

I thought I'd bought the coach equivalent of an Open Return, but when I tried to amend the return portion, National Express showed a high "journey excess" for every journey I tried. It seems they have fare buckets like airlines, even for flexible tickets. Has anyone got any idea how to work...

The recent news about a man being rescued from the rails at Marble Arch makes me wonder how to approach this. If the advice is to never attempt to rescue someone in this way, what's the quickest way to force the incoming train to stop before arriving into the station? Apologies if there is a...

I see that certain station staff (eg shop workers) have a way of entering paying toilets at stations, without paying. If a member of the public was to find themselves short of cash but needing to spend a penny, would copying such a member of staff be acceptable?

Do the lift buttons at Queensway do anything or are they just for decoration? A member of staff there told me the lifts are semi-automatic, but didn't elaborate.

This must have come up before but I can't find it.. Is there any way to get the price of this down (other than the normal buy 5 weeks at a time / annually? (For someone working office hours, not entitled to any Railcards, and on short-term contracts). Milton Keynes Central (MKC) to London...

Outside Kings Cross the other day, I was handed a few vouchers for the Goeuro app issued by "Goeuro travel GmBH", saying £10 off per voucher (which had unique codes). The TOCs shown on the vouchers are SouthWestRailway, Virgin, and GWR. Any thoughts on booking through Goeuro?

Am looking at the London to Doncaster Hull Trains ticket at £59 day return. If I miss the last Hull Trains southbound service because of a late-running connecting service, can I use another TOC?

For a weekend in Torquay, leaving London on a Fri evening or Sat morning in July, and coming back on a Sunday evening. Specific dates not known yet but there seem to be very few advances anyway. There appear to be no good splits, except going via Salisbury knocks off £20 but adds on loads of...

3 people in plain clothes presented themselves as Police Fédérale on a train I was on, and proceeded to check everyone's ticket. There was no uniformed guard with them. How usual is this? Surely the police can't be trained in ticketing matters?
