    Lincoln LNER cancellation advice

    Hi All, a friend has an advance ticket for the LNER Lincoln to Peterborough 18:20 service, which has been cancelled, along with seemingly every LNER service from Lincoln for the rest of the day. The service page only says that replacement bus services would be organised between Lincoln and...

    Skywards Rail : Avoid

    Emirates (The Airline) has launched a new website selling rail tickets in Britain and some other European countries. It's an unbelievable mess, with problems including: - Showing departure and arrival times offset by one hour for GB rail services - Charging a 10% markup on every ticket sold -...

    Experiences of service recovery (or lack of) on GTR Great Northern

    Is there any indication how long the disruption will last? I must get to Heathrow from Cambridge (departing Cambridge around 3-4pm) and am considering just getting a bus to St Neots. Does anyone have any clever suggestions? Thank you.

    No idea about Sicily, but for Lombardy and Milano there is a good value rover ticket I'd recommend https://www.trenord.it/en/tickets/travel-titles/daily-tickets/

    Zagreb ZET

    Hi @jjh29mars, you are right and the lady was wrong. The official document interpreting different tickets at ZET is here (croatian only), with the relevant section being III(10) saying: This says it's valid on the day of the validation and until 4am the next day.

    More Eurostar problems (Paris to London)

    Thank you MotCO - soon after posting the Eurostar staff member came through the coach offering mr a link to book a Taxi to Cambridge so my problem was sorted. He was telling people that any destinations up to 120 miles could be booked through the link, but if you needed to go further you could...

    More Eurostar problems (Paris to London)

    I'm on the last service out - was booked on the 19:12 service, but that departed without me so they rebooked me onto the 21:12 one that will seemingly depart soon. It's almost certain I'll miss the last connection to Cambridge and will only be able to make it to Royston - does anyone know what...

    Greater Anglia Weekend Tickets Withdrawal?

    Interesting - their loss would be a real shame. They are however still being sold on the LNER app for today.

    Advance ticket with missing reservation

    Thank you! Funnily enough the question ended up being somewhat moot since delays on the Cambridge-London leg and the underground made me miss the 20:20 stopper and just barely making my preferred 20:23 train directly to Oxford.

    Advance ticket with missing reservation

    I'm travelling from Cambridge to Oxford and bought an advance ticket via the forum's booking site. To my surprise, the printed ticket has only the Cambridge-London train, with no details at all about the trains to take between Paddington and Oxford. What trains can I then take between London...

    Permitted routes approach in Baden-Württemberg (Germany)

    I was recently doing some train travel across Baden-Württemberg south-west Germany and wanted to report on an interesting, but relatively simple permitted routes system. In the absence of any provided route information (which has been discussed in detail in other threads of this forum) you're...

    Delay repay entitlement with self re-routinf

    Thank you, that's unfortunate. Shame I was effectively forced to either wait an extra 30 minutes due to the cancellation at East Croydon or pay more to find a different way.

    Delay repay entitlement with self re-routinf

    Hi all, I have a question regarding whether delay repay is due with self re-routeing. I had a super off peak return from London Thameslink to Brighton and travelled from East Dulwich to Brighton, changing at East Croydon. However, on the return journey, while on the 1758 Brighton to Bedford...

    Edinburgh-Letchworth routeing confusion

    Thank you all for your help with this! Something odd seems to be going on with Cambridge … I didn’t realise that National Enquiries was authoritative in this way but I’m glad it is since this does solve my problem today. It’s returning the same ticket for the via Cambridge route I’m planning to...

    Edinburgh-Letchworth routeing confusion

    Hi All, I have a quick question about permitted routes for my tickets since the results from different apps seem contradictory. I have a Super Off-Peak Single valid today from Edinburgh to Letchworth Garden City with the route Not valid via London Terminals. It was £63.50 after the 16-25...

    Special Offers Discussion

    After about a year Uber seems to be accepting Gift cards via Uber Money to pay for train tickets again. I had applied an Uber gift card to my uber money account at some point in the past and forgot about it. I’ve just noticed Uber used it to pay for a ticket I booked last Saturday. Bizarrely...

    Interrail Sale

    I've had a a very good experience with them. I forwarded my purchase confirmation email to support@allaboard.eu with a request for a refund on a Saturday. They got back to me on Monday and the money was in my bank account on Tuesday. Just make sure it's not activated like @rvdborgt said. But in...
