That's correct, you were charged £17 which is the peak fare from Canary Wharf to Gatwick Airport. Multiple legs of the journey get combined and it is the initial touch-in time that determines the type of fare (peak or off-peak).

I think he is proposing to extend the Overground from West Croydon to Clapham Junction to create another, "Outer" orbital around South London. Presumably West Croydon - Sutton - Wimbledon - Clapham Junction?

Why was the shuttle bus solution so unpopular? I mean, surely it didn't take more than 3 minutes from terminal to station. Or was it not synchronised with flight/train times on purpose?

ATW has been free so far.

This is so confusing! I was waiting at Shrewsbury the other day, intending to take the train to Aberystwyth which was advertised as coming from Birmingham International. What happened was: a train pulled into platform 5 but it clearly arrived from the Cambrian line (from the right side if...

Such tickets are only valid at specific Tube stations, and Westminster isn't one of them: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ticket_types/46587.aspx#travelling_connect

Yes I have a contactless card (and an Oyster with railcard discount for that matter) so this is not a problem. I have now booked a flight on the 1st January (Monday) instead as this allows me to get from Aberystwyth to Gatwick on the same day, so there will be no fuss with breaking the journey...

Thanks, that's great to hear. If they decide not to let me on the Gatwick Express, I'll just use another train then, it's not a big deal. Will the Tube still accept my ticket the following day or will I have to pay separately for Marylebone-Victoria? Many thanks

Cheers, I'm thinking of departing Aberystwyth on Saturday afternoon and breaking my journey in High Wycombe, then continuing on Sunday morning to arrive to Gatwick at around 15:00. I hope this is possible on this ticket!

That's fantastic, thank you very much! It has just crossed my mind that the first train out of Aberystwyth on Sundays is at 09:30 (which is too late to catch a 17:00 flight from Gatwick), so I'll have to leave on Saturday afternoon already. What are the rules on break of journey in this case...

Hello, I would just like to confirm the validity of this ticket: Super Off-Peak Return from Aberystwyth to Gatwick Airport, route ✠VIA HIGH WYC&SHR (£50.65 with a 16-25 railcard) Can i travel on: - any train to London Marylebone on the outward leg (on a Sunday) - any train departing London...

Best Standard: Chiltern Mark 3 Never been in First :(

Taking a look at the Sail&Rail fares to Dublin, there are tickets available to 'Dublin Ferryport' or 'Dublin Port Stena', but there are also tickets to 'Dublin Connolly' for a £3 supplement. However, the journey planners suggests that there is a separate fare payable for the bus transfer from...

Indeed an amazing feat of Austrian railway engineering and a great shame that it is currently not possible to travel the whole length of this line. Two more examples from Slovenia: In Borovnica (http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=borovnica#map=13/45.9227/14.3739&layers=T), (also on...

Not true. When I was last in Paris (~1.5 yrs ago), RER stations had barriers even at interchanges with Metro. You need a ticket to enter and exit the RER stations (whereas for the Metro, you only need one to enter).

Thanks for your answers. It's a shame though - I'll probably take Virgin then, they do have some advances on sale.

Hello, I need to buy a ticket for travelling on 28 Dec, but there are no advance fares available for Marylebone-Birmingham on Chiltern. I have played with the journey planner and it seems there are plenty in January, but none in the week between Christmas and New Year. Is it likely that...

I'm not sure what you mean by non-technical passes, but you bet they had border guards everywhere.

Thanks, I've already looked into this option but thought it wasnt valid - the restriction being "via High Wycombe"?

Oh, I see. Thank you :) So I should be OK with the Hanwell ticket if I manage to get hold of it somehow?
