Hi all Me and my friend have just commenced a journey. The TVM at Forest Gate was not topping oyster cards up and the ticket office was empty but couldn't top oysters up anyway. He decided to purchase a paper ticket from Forest Gate to Romford as he was unable to top his Oyster up. He had...

Hi all I use Anytime Returns all the time as it's the only ticket available on the journey I 'make' Chinley to Formby. I am comfortable coming back within a few days on the return portion but I've bought a Chapel en le Frith to Formby Anytime Return and need to take a substantial BoJ and...

Hi all Looking to do a trip on the X94 at some point from Ruabon to Bala, and possibly onto the next place Llanuwchllyn. Some long distance bus services have fares on their websites, e.g. the Yorkshire Coastliner but I can find no fares for this service. Anyone know what sort of price I'll be...

Hi all I'm off to Wakefield in around an hour's time, setting off very soon and have realised I finish my journey at Wakefield Kirkgate, its unstaffed and I need a plusbus. Every time I have asked for one on the Chinley to Sheffield train the guard seems unable to issue as there is 'no fares...

Hi all Looking to do a couple of trips to London and travel back on the 0100 Megabus to Manchester each time. Got a couple of questions, is it generally easy to sleep on Megabus services? What are they are actually like? Are there sockets for charging things or not? I've not travelled on a...

Hi all I'm going into Sheffield on Saturday and the Plusbus site is giving confusing me. Its probably me getting unnecessarily worried. It says: It gives a zone map of this: http://www.plusbus.info/sites/default/files/pdfs/Sheffield%20%28SY%29.pdf You'd think Sheffield plusbus would only be...
