It has been widely reported today that the South African variant has been found in certain parts of the UK, that they don't believe it's linked to international travel and that in these areas people will be going door-to-door to distribute tests. It has been stated that Councilors will be...

Moderator note - posts #1 - #7 originally in this thread. Since there are a few experts on here I wonder if I could ask for some help for a dispute I'm having with EasyJet? I booked a 1-way flight from London Luton to Inverness, along with 5 days car hire with Europcar (also booked with...

It has just been announced that the UK (just England? but the news story says UK) has just moved from alert level 4 to alert level 3. Alert level 3 has the comment "social distancing relaxed" so I'm hoping this means 1m rather than 2m. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53106673

I am booked to travel on Eurostar on a London to "Any Belgium Station" ticket over the first May bank holiday weekend. Since travel on Eurostar isn't allowed any more from the UK unless you live on mainland Europe clearly that isn't going to happen. (The Eurostar website currently has this...

Next Saturday (1st Feb) I need to travel between Lourdes and Biarritz. Back in November I booked a train ticket on the SNCF Website on train "Intercities 14157" departing Lourdes at 19:24 and ariving at Biarritz at 21:19. This is a direct train and I believe it is the last possible journey of...

I booked an Advance Ticket from Woking to Bath Spa for the 29th December 2019 departing at 09:47 and arriving at Bath at 11:56. This was booked on the 3rd November 2019, before any strike action had been announced. This is a direct service. SWR have now published the strike timetable for Sunday...

I had a quick look on this forum and couldn't see a previous post, so apologies if this has come up before. I want to travel out from London and alight at Calais and return from Belgium on any "Any Belgium" ticket (not exactly sure which station I shall be returning from yet). I'm actually...

I noticed planning a journey for Sunday from Guildford to London Road Guildford. I notice on trains departing Guildford at xx:50 I am quoted a fare of £2.70 "Off Peak" but on trains departing at xx:20 I'm quoted £2.80 "Anytime". Both trains take 4 minutes so there is no different routing...

I got my credit card statement and was mistified about a transaction shown I didn't recognise. I was on the point of telephoning the credit card company (Amex) because I didn't recognise the transaction. But I finally found the source of it by searching through my email. The transaction was...

I was surprised (and pleased) to see these old British Rail posters on display in the entrance area of Wemyss Bay station. I do wonder if people still turn up at the ticket office and ask for these fares! I assume they are deliberately preserved, but it seemed rather an eclectic mix of posters...

Re-development of Guildford station is to begin in a couple of weeks. The plans are I believe to replace the existing surface car parks with a new multi-storey and then build blocks of flats on the land freed up, with retail space on the ground floors. There is also to be a new station building...

Had an odd experience on a bus today. It was very wet so when the bus arrived all the windows were steamed up. A couple of stops later a passenger got in and attempted to close one of the windows (all the windows were open), because water was coming in through the window and dripping down onto...

Today I was trying to travel from Woking to Earlsfield and return. Rather than take the slow stopping train on the way there I opted to go via Clapham Junction because it's faster and so bought a return from Woking to Clapham Junction and a single from Clapham Junction to Earlsfield. On my...

I recently made a few journeys with Deutsche Bahn, travelling on the ICE trains. To be honest I was a little disappointed, experiencing delays on every train I took, as well as broken air conditioning on one, making for a very hot and uncomfortable journey. However in one case I had not...

Is there a way to check the official running days of a bus service? I am trying to find out when the 811 Achduart - Ullapool bus service runs. According to Traveline, this is run by KSM Motors. Traveline shows it as running Monday - Saturday. However the "Bus Times" website specifically says the...

I was surprised to find today that Sole Street in Kent still uses CRT monitors to provide the customer information system. I had assumed all such screens would have long since been replaced but it seems not. I assume this station is not an isolated case and there must be quite a few in Kent...

I recently needed to travel on a train after midnight on a Sunday (I think the departure was around 00:45), from London Waterloo. I tried to use the ticket machine but when I selected Network Card the machine, came up that as it was Monday the minimum fare for the Network Card applied (which...

Today I collected an Advance ticket and was surprised to be issued with two coupons again. After the last ticket redesign such tickets have previously now been a single ticket, with tiny writing, showing both the origin, destination, ticket type the booked trains and seat reservations. However...

This is my first trip report on here so please forgive me if it's not very good! Norway is a country I love visiting and I was keen to explore both more of the country and it's rail network. On this trip I was taking in 3 of the railway routes in Norway, though with time to stop off at a few...

I see that there are now strikes on SWR for every Saturday in November. I have booked to go on the Mid Hants Railway RAT on one of these Saturdays. So I wanted to know if the strike timetable on previous Saturdays had a train running late enough from Alton for me to get home after it. I know...
